How do I know what necklace to wear?

Choosing the perfect necklace to complement your outfit can feel overwhelming at times, but fear not–this guide will help you unlock the secrets of pairing necklaces with ease! Whether you're dressing for a glamorous night out or a casual brunch, finding the right necklace is all about understanding your neckline, face shape, and the occasion.

First, let’s talk about neckline shapes. Different necklines call for different necklace lengths and styles. For example, a plunging V-neck looks stunning when paired with a statement solitaire pendant, as it draws attention to the décolletage while elongating the neck. Alternatively, if you’re sporting a high-neck blouse, such as a turtleneck, a longer necklace like an opera necklace will beautifully cascade over the fabric, adding a sense of flow and elegance.

Neckline and Necklace Pairing Basics

Each neckline creates a unique canvas for your necklace to shine. For instance, a scoop neckline offers a wide space, making it ideal for a layered necklace look or a collar necklace that rests snugly around the collarbone.

However, the deeper the neckline, the longer your necklace should be. For boat necklines, a lariat necklace adds an element of drama with its adjustable length, perfectly framing the shoulders. A sweetheart neckline? Pair it with a delicate pearl necklace or a layered choker for a romantic touch.

Matching Necklaces to Your Face Shape

Face shape plays a key role in necklace selection too. If you have a round face, avoid shorter necklaces like chokers, which can exaggerate the roundness. Instead, opt for longer styles that elongate your face and add balance, such as an elegant princess necklace. For those with a heart-shaped face, a choker can beautifully balance your face's natural angles by broadening the jawline.

Personal Style and Occasion

Beyond the rules, your personal style should shine through. Experimenting with different pieces–whether it’s a bold statement necklace for a night out or a simple delicate pendant for everyday elegance–adds personality to your outfit. Don't hesitate to mix and match!

In the end, the necklace you choose should not only complement your outfit but reflect your unique style. Whether it’s a stunning diamond necklace or a playful charm necklace, Robinson’s Jewelers offers a vast collection of pieces to suit any occasion.
