The Ultimate Guide to Matching Jewellery with Different Necklines

Finding the perfect balance between your neckline and your jewellery can make or break an outfit. So, let's dive into the ultimate guide on how to pair your favourite jewellery with different necklines. Trust me, it’ll elevate your style game in no time!

V-Neck Dresses: Accentuate the Plunge

When you’re rocking a V-neck, it’s all about complementing that plunge. A necklace that mimics the shape of your neckline works wonders! Think pendants or layered chains that draw the eye down in a subtle, flattering way. A small piece that sits just above the V will add a chic touch. Just keep it simple – let your necklace and jewellery work together to frame your face beautifully.  

Off-Shoulder Tops: Let Your Collarbones Shine

Opt for shorter pendants that sit right at the base of your neck. You want to draw attention to your exposed skin without overshadowing it. If you’re skipping the necklace, take a leaf out of Alison Hammond’s book and go for our statement  Daryl earrings.

High necklines: Make a statement

A high neckline gives you the perfect canvas for some serious statement jewellery! Since your neck is covered, use long necklaces or chunky, eye-catching pieces that brig attention to your chest and shoulders. If you’re wearing a t-shirt, you can add statement jewellery to jazz it up! Check out how Stephanie Cheape uses our pieces to style her basic t-shirt. Layering works well here too- long chains in different textures or a bold pendant that adds dimension. If necklaces aren’t your thing with high necks, go for oversized earrings to keep things balanced.

Scoop or Round Necklines: Keep it Balanced

Scoop and round necklines are versatile, and they offer a perfect opportunity for both long and short necklaces. A short, round necklace that mirrors the shape of the neckline is a great choice, or go for a longer pendant to elongate your figure. The key is balance – nothing too overwhelming, just something that enhances the natural curve of your neckline. We have a selection of chain lengths and pendant sizes available, so you’re sure to find something to match your look.

Boat Necklines: Stay Elegant

A boat neckline offers a sophisticated, classic look, so your jewellery should match that elegance. Stick with short, simple necklaces or no necklace at all. Instead, go for standout earrings or a sleek bracelet to keep your look polished without competing with the neckline.

Strapless Necklines: Go Bold or Go Bare

When wearing a strapless dress or top, the focus is entirely on your shoulders and neck, giving you the chance to experiment. A layered necklace can add some drama, while a dainty pendant offers a more understated elegance. Check out our founder Silva, who LOVES a layered necklace!

And with Under Her Eyes jewellery, you don’t have to worry about our jewellery dulling over time.
