Finishing Touches

Choosing Your Jewelry

You've chosen the perfect dress and now it’s time to accessorize! The neckline of your dress plays a key role in choosing the best accessories. Here are some examples to help you choose the right style to compliment your gown.

If your gown is strapless:
This is an extremely versatile neckline and just about anything goes.

Alfred Angelo Style #1645

Try a princess or choker style such as these:

Kathryn and Abigale Necklaces

If your gown has a sweetheart neckline:
Also an extremely versatile neckline. Princess styles (like the ones above) look beautiful however a Y-style or drop style necklace looks particularly lovely with this neckline as it follows the sweetheart shape.

Alfred Angelo Style #1137

Drop or Y Style Necklaces:

Cheryl and Ariella Necklaces

If your gown is halter style:
A Y-style or Pendant necklace works beautifully with this style. If you’d like to highlight your shoulders another option is to skip the necklace and go with a beautiful pair of drop earrings.

Alfred Angelo Style #2021

Pendant Style Necklace or Dramatic Earrings:

Tricia Necklace and Marilyn Earrings

If your gown has a V-neck:
It looks beautiful if you follow the shape of the neckline with a Y-style or drop necklace. If your gown is also low in the back a style with backdrops will highlight this.

Alfred Angelo Style #767

Y Style or Drop Necklaces:

Hannah and Isabella Necklaces

If your gown is off the shoulder:
If you would like to wear a necklace, a choker or princess style necklace is best. However, this look can be stunning if you forgo the necklace and go for some dramatic earrings paired with a beautiful bracelet.

Alfred Angelo Style #2032

Dramatic Earrings with Beautiful Bracelet:

Mikki Earrings and Kimberly Bracelet

If your gown is backless:
Dramatic backdrops highlight a backless dress beautifully.

Alfred Angelo Style #755

Y-Style Necklace with Back Drop:

Chantelle Necklace Front and Back

Choosing the right accessories doesn't have to be difficult. By following these simple guidelines you're well on your way to finding the perfect look.
