The simple answer is balance. Simple, but not always easy. Choosing the right jewelry to go with the right outfit gets tricky sometimes, particularly when pairing necklaces with different tops and necklines. Here are some tips and easy tips you can use every day:

1. Pair a V Neckline with a Short Pendant Necklace
Choosing a delicate pendant necklace, you will mimic and accentuate the neckline. When wearing a v-neck shirt or blouse this is a fantastic way to showcase a favorite necklace. Choose a shorter necklace so it doesn’t get lost in the shirt. Ideally, the necklace should end right where you want to draw the eye
2. Pair a Boat Neckline with a Lariat Necklace
This top works well with just about any type of necklace - the basic neckline creates a blank canvas. A lariat necklace, also called a y-neck because of its shape, adds visual interest and is a popular trend right now.

3. Pair a Crew Neckline with a Station Necklace
A station necklace is a chain that features diamonds or metal elements at regular intervals. It’s a classic necklace that perfectly accentuates a classic boat neckline. You can easily create balance of length that elongates both your outfit and look. It’s a simple and sophisticated style that can’t miss!
4. Pair a Square Neckline with a Bar Necklace
With an angular shape, keep accessories minimal. The horizontal bar of the neckline mimics the square necklace and accentuates your collarbones.
