That necklace you wear can make or break the outfit.
Of all the jewelry pieces you might choose, your necklace
can make the greatest impact on the overall look.
Take a simple black cocktail dress for example. On its own,
is almost like a uniform. You could disappear into the crowd
if you are not careful.
Now add on a lariat. A stunning necklace that draws attention.
Better yet, if you have the height for it, put on a pearl
rope, or a gorgeous necklace that is 37 inches or longer.
A really long necklace that makes a grand statement.
Choosing that perfect necklace is all about what suits you.
Your height. Your build. Your neck. The outfit you are going
to wear.
The right choice makes the overall look simply gorgeous.

Let's start with the neckline
of the outfit. You want the focal part of the necklace to
be either against your skin or contrasted against the fabric
of your outfit.
The last thing you want is a necklace that is partially hidden
in your neckline. That would spoil the overall look. If the
pendant plays peekaboo in the neckline, then shorten the chain.
Or put that pendant in either a shorter chain, so it sits
confidently above your neckline, or go for a much longer necklace
that would contrast beautifully against the fabric of your
outfit.
Next, look at your neck.
Finally, look at your overall build. If you are petite, go
for daintier pieces. If you have a larger build, go for something
chunkier. Your necklace should be in proportion to your body.
Once you have evaluated yourself, pick a selection of necklaces
that flatter your body, in colors that match your outfits.
A few signature pieces are all you need.
