FINDING THE RIGHT NECKLACE FOR EACH NECKLINE
A necklace can be more than a simple accessory.
If styled correctly and paired with the right top, a necklace can draw the eye in a positive way — becoming the focal point of the outfit while showcasing the individuality of the person it’s adorning.
But to ensure a necklace can complement an ensemble to the best of its ability, the jewelry piece needs to be paired with the proper neckline.
Otherwise, the intended impact of the necklace is sabotaged. A diamond choker, for instance, would probably not produce the desired affect when matched with a turtleneck.
In order to make a deliberate fashion statement with a necklace or pendant, it’s crucial to understand how to choose necklaces for different necklines.
LONG PENDANT OR LAYERED NECKLACES WITH V-NECK
The goal of most V-necks is to elongate the body.
A pendant, particularly one with a long chain or a series of lengthy necklaces layered together can offer a similar affect without widening the neckline as pieces with shorter chains tend to do.
Long-chained pendants and necklaces suit a narrow neckline and help the wearer appear taller as well as slimmer.
Glittering necklaces for V-necks that are crafted by premier designers such as Charles Garnier or the creator of Doves Doron Paloma can all be found at Hannoush Jewelers of the Capital Region and beyond.
CIRCULAR PENDANT WITH SWEETHEART NECKLINE
The flirty, feminine sweetheart neckline emphasizes the natural curves of the body and it is important that any necklace that is worn with such necklines serves the same purpose.
Pendants featuring round or circular designs such as this necklace from Doves that is featured below are best because they accentuate the heart-shaped outline that is formed by a sweetheart neckline.
Stylists also advise necklace wearers make sure the length of their chains do not clash with the neckline.
Sweetheart necklines may dip lower than most other types, but the length of the piece should not exceed past the neckline.
Typically, mid-length or short-chained necklaces are fitting for a sweetheart top.
DAINTY LAYERED NECKLACES WITH COLLARED SHIRTS
Collared shirts are a classic staple in any wardrobe, especially since the buttons and collar can act as fashionable accessories.
As a result, necklaces that are worn with a collared blouse or top should be small or dainty so as not to interfere with the collar or overwhelm the neck area by being too busy or ostentatious.
For these reasons, simple, short-chained pendants or necklaces are the ideal choice.
Necklaces like those included in the Gabriel & Co. Fashion Collection can elevate any top with a collar.
MID-LENGTH TENNIS NECKLACE OR PENDANT WITH SCOOP NECKLINE
Scoop necklines can showcase the collarbone but choosing the wrong necklace can cause the accessory to hide or disrupt the pronounced view of this feature.
So as not to pull attention away from the flattering way a scoop neck displays the collarbone, mid-length necklaces that rest above the neckline are perfect.
Sophisticated pieces such as a diamond tennis necklace endear the eye and the slant of the shoulders.
But those who prefer pendants may also want to consider diamond necklaces sporting thin chains or an ornate charm.
