How To Choose Necklaces To Work With Your Neckline

Different necklines look better with certain necklace styles.

1. Turtle Necks – best with longer necklaces.

2. Crew Necks – best with short necklaces such as necklace ‘collar’ or bib styles

3. Scoop Necks – fill in the space with multiple strands of beads or larger scale pendants

4. Strapless – look great with chokers or short pendants, leaving your lovely decolletage bare

5. Square Necks – look for pendants with an angular finish to harmonize with the angular neckline

6. Asymmetric Necklines – look for necklaces that aren’t symmetrical, instead a necklace that has it’s own asymmetry can work, alternatively a long string of different sized and shaped beads can work well.

7. Halter Necks – these create a narrow V neck – so look for a narrow pendant with a sharper end

8. V Neck – ideally a necklace that matches the shape of the V – depending if it’s a wider or narrower V neck.

9. Collared Shirt (button down) – there isn’t much space for anything too wide, so a choker style works if you have a long neck, if not a slimmer pendant that sits above the last open button.

10. Boat Neck – a long string or two of beads is ideal for this neckline.

11. Cowl Neck – this neckline is already detailed and has volume, so either a short and small pendant or a pair of feature earrings instead of a necklace.

12. Sweetheart – a curved necklace that has width that will balance the open decolletage of this neckline.
