Bridal Jewelry: Choosing a Necklace

No matter how beautiful a necklace is, if it's not suited to your gown's neckline it may never look quite right. Check out these foolproof examples to help you find the perfect shape for your bridal jewelry.

Strapless

Fashion Fact: An extremely versatile neckline. Keep the length under 18" so you don't crowd the neckline. Top necklace styles? Any style! Shop Necklaces by Style

Sweetheart

Fashion Fact: A sweetheart neckline may or may not be strapless but the same rules apply when choosing a necklace.

Top Choices

Jewel

Fashion Fact: With this high, rounded neckline choose necklaces that fit close to your throat.

Top Choices

Halter

Fashion Fact: A low or wide cut dress will allow for a necklace but if the halter is high and narrow or comes to a point at the hollow of your throat, go without.

Top Choices

Bateau

Fashion Fact: This classic neckline calls for a simple necklace of one or two strands worn close to the throat.

Top Choices

Portrait or Off the Shoulder

Fashion Fact: Much like the strapless gown, you'll find that just about any style necklace suits these necklines.

Top Choices

Asymmetric

Fashion Fact: It certainly can be done, but a necklace generally is not a good idea with this style since the symmetric lines of the necklace could clash with the gown.

Top Choices

Elizabethan or Queen Anne

Fashion Fact: Our advice is to skip the necklace and let your neckline steal the show with its striking high collar.

Top Choices

Square

Fashion Fact: Strong right angles define this neckline so a necklace with an easy, curving shape is a nice way to soften the lines.

Top Choices

V Neck

Fashion Fact: Choose a necklace that imitate the lines of the dress. If it is cut rather high, look for more delicate designs so you don't crowd the neckline.
