The Strapless Neckline

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

This is the neckline that is good for any type of jewelry!  Consider your upper torso a canvas on which you will paint the picture you wish with your jewelry :)   Show off delicate chains, ornate chokers or fabulous pendants, all will look good on this neckline.  Your earring also can be any length, delicate or bold.  The only restriction is that you keep them in balance with the necklace.  Some will tell you that if you wear big chandelier earrings you should not wear a pendant, I disagree.  I think you can match a pendant to your earrings and have them compliment each other; just don’t wear pieces that fight each other for attention.

Shoulder duster earrings go great with this type of neckline.  With shoulder dusters I would recommend a delicate Y necklace. 

This completes our articles on necklines. 

Here are a few of our new styles you might like with a strapless ;)

The Turtle Neck – Winters Friend :)

Monday, December 11th, 2006

When wearing a turtle neck the main thing to remember is make sure the necklace is long enough so it DOESN’T CROWD THE COLLAR.  The second thing to remember is that the necklace will not be resting on you skin so the beads should be bold, colorful, of good size and shape so they stand out on the fabric.  Don’t fight the fabric either, if it is a color full fabric pick the main color you wish to bring out and wear mono colored beads of that color.  Earring should be short so the don’t touch the high collar or long enough to keep clear of the top edge.

Matinee length necklaces are a great length for turtle necks.  Multi-strands can be worn also, provided that the inner strand is at least 2 inches below the collar of the turtle neck.  A lariat is also a good choice with the turtle neck because it’s length can be adjusted to fit. 

Bold square shaped earrings go well with a turtle neck, they compliment the round lines of a turtle neck.  Ear Threads are a great match too because you decide the length of the ear thread :) , above or below the collar.  Which ever YOU prefer ;)

Here are some pieces that will go well with a turtle neck.
