Your guide to choosing the perfect piece for every outfit
At Le Gioie Fine Jewelry, we believe jewelry is more than just an accessory—it's an expression of who you are. But even the most stunning necklace can lose its magic if paired with the wrong neckline. That’s why we’re sharing our best tips on how to match different necklace styles with different necklines—so your look feels effortlessly pulled together every time.
1. V-Neck
Best Necklace Styles: Pendants, Y-necklaces, Lariats
V-necks naturally draw the eye downward. Mirror this shape with a delicate pendant or a lariat necklace that follows the line of your neckline. This elongates the neck and adds elegance without overwhelming your look.
✨ Try it with our EF-Collection's Diamond Callae Lariat Necklace for a sleek, everyday glam.
2. Strapless / Off-the-Shoulder
Best Necklace Styles: Chokers, short collars, statement pieces
When your shoulders are bare, it’s the perfect moment for a bold or romantic choker. Keep the focus near your collarbones to highlight your neckline and balance the open space.
✨ Style tip: Pair a Ava Bea Tennis Necklace with an off-the-shoulder dress for a timeless bridal or evening look.
3. Scoop Neck
Best Necklace Styles: Short pendants, layered chains
A scoop neck gives you a wide canvas. It’s ideal for layered necklaces that play with different lengths. Stick to rounded styles that complement the curve of your top.
✨ Layer two or three chains like the Sienna Chain Necklace by EF-Collection and Poppy Rae Pebble Station Necklace by Dana Rebecca Designs for effortless chic.
4. High Neck / Turtleneck
Best Necklace Styles: Long chains, pendants, statement necklaces
High necklines are great for dramatic, long necklaces that hang over the fabric. A chunky chain or bold pendant over a turtleneck adds a touch of sophistication (and sparkle) to a more modest outfit.
✨ Add polish to your sweater weather looks with the Sophia Ryan Marquise Necklace by Dana Rebecca Designs.
5. Square Neck
Best Necklace Styles: Angular pendants, short layered styles
Square necklines work best with necklaces that echo their clean lines. Opt for pieces that sit just above or follow the shape of the neckline for a modern feel.
✨ A geometric diamond necklace like Lauren Joy Cuban Chain Disc Necklace by Dana Rebecca Designs is your best friend here.
6. Halter / One-Shoulder
Best Necklace Styles: Skip the necklace or wear studs & bold earrings
Because halter and asymmetrical necklines are statement-makers on their own, they can clash with most necklaces. Instead, go for dramatic earrings or stack up bracelets to shift the focus elsewhere.
✨ Shop our selection of statement hoops to complete your halter look.
7. Button-Down Shirts
Best Necklace Styles: Short chains, charm necklaces, pearls
Leave the first few buttons undone and wear a dainty charm necklace or mini chain that peeks through. You can also layer multiple short necklaces to create dimension without overdoing it.
✨ A gold initial like EF-Collection's Initial Charm or Dana Rebecca's Cross Necklace makes it feel personal and polished.
