Boat Neck |

Boat-neck tops feature a sharp neckline that goes straight across
the collarbone, from shoulder to shoulder. Shorter necklace lengths
are flattering with this neckline. |

Button-Up Shirt |
|
The classic button-up shirt or oxford looks great with a variety
of necklace lengths and types. Make a crisp white shirt more
glamorous by adding texture with a layered gold necklace. Allow
a short, gemstone-scattered necklace to peaking out of the top
for a subtle touch of energy. For a more conservative look, try
medium-length pendants with pearls or gemstones. |

Crewneck Tees and Sweaters |
|
Shorter pendant necklaces and straightforward, clean lines (as
seen in our metallic styles) are classic additions to this
all-American look. For a more flirtatious accessory style, wrap
an ultra long necklace for a multi-strand look. |

Scoop or Ballet Neck |
|
This feminine cut cries out for delicate necklaces, pearls, or
gemstone pendants. Go as ornate as you wish with this style - it
is okay to dress up exposed skin. Lengths look best hitting at
the collarbone or just below. |

Turtleneck |
|
The best options for turtleneck or other high-neck looks (such as
Victorian) are long necklaces and ultra-long opera lengths. If
you're wearing a chunky turtleneck sweater or dress, make sure
that your necklace is also substantial so it does not get lost
in the fabric. |

V-Neck, Deep Neck and Plunging |
|
Collar, choker, princess. 15-17"
There are a variety of options for this daring look. Longer
necklaces, including lariats, are a sexy option for plunging
necklines as they lead the eye toward cleavage. Layered strands
and longer necklaces also emphasize cleavage, while shorter
pendants highlight the neck and collarbone. Make sure that
whatever necklace you choose lands 1/2 - 1 inch above or below
the base of the V, so that the necklace does not get caught
behind the fabric. |

Wrap Dress |
|
Depending on the design, this fashionable look exposes a good
amount of neckline and décolleté. Pendants that fall between 16
and 18 inches are perfect - either bold or delicate. |

Specific Eventsts |
|
|
Business casual
Choose one focal piece of handcrafted jewelry, like a necklace,
bracelet or earrings. This is the standout piece. You can add
accent pieces, but make sure it's not too overpowering.
Wearing a bold or opulent gemstone necklace? Balance the look
with petite gemstone earrings or an understated metallic
bracelet. |
|
Weekend Brunch
Favor the refined look but curious about the layering trend?
Stay ladylike with an elegant jumble of chains and pearls. This
necklace style is French chic and timeless! |
|
Dinner Date
Sporting cascade or dangling gemstone earrings? Opt for a
delicate chain or pendant instead of piling on layers of
opera-length necklaces. |
|
Evening Glamour
Pair a lacy camisole top with layers of chunky, artisan crafted
gemstone-studded necklaces. |
