Matching Necklaces to Necklines
June 16, 2014 by admin.

Before I go into the how-to part of this blog post, I want to make it clear that BC Custom Jewelry is all about creating your own jewelry styles, so you don't necessarily have to follow any jewelry "rules", so to speak, but this has been a popular question.

So, how do you match you necklace lengths with your shirt or dress necklines?

Let's break it down into types of necklines:

Turtleneck - Honestly, it's going to be pretty difficult to wear a choker or even a short-length necklace with a shirt that comes almost up to your chin. The best necklaces to pair with a turtleneck are the longer-length necklaces, measuring at 22 inches or longer. You may find that the longer the chain, the better when you wear turtlenecks. That way, you don't have to worry about the neck of the shirt bunching under the necklace.

Shirt with Collar - The collared shirt can be tricky when trying to pair it with a necklace. With the collar unbuttoned, a choker could work great. If you want to wear something longer, try one that is over 32 inches. That way, the necklace doesn't "get lost" in the shirt.

V-Necks - This type of shirt can also be a challenge. You may want to think about wearing a longer necklace, ranging from 24" to 30", but not too long.

Crew and Scoop Neck - These tops are similar, Chokers may not be the best option, because the neckline is so close to the neck, but longer length necklaces will work perfectly. You could even wear the princess length with these types of shirts.

As always, be sure that what you are wearing makes you feel good. That is the most important part!
