Is there such a thing as a perfect necklace?
The answer is yes. But only if the necklace matches your neckline.
Not many people know this, but considering your neckline and outfit before choosing a necklace can create the magic portion for creating a fashion statement.
And in this blog, we’ll walk you through what kind of necklace suits each neckline, offer tips on necklace lengths and shapes, and suggest some of our favorite Egovin Jewelry pieces that make the perfect match.
Why Your Necklace Choice Matters
Your necklace frames your face, highlights your collarbone, and adds balance to your outfit.
Overall, it helps to enhance the optical illusion of your outfit. Meaning the necklaces are there to create balance and proportion.
In some cases, creating it where it does not naturally exist. So they need to work for you and your body. That means filling up the space at the neckline in a way that feels symmetric and in sync with the top’s neckline.
The wrong type can distract from your look, while the right one brings harmony and style.
What Necklace to Wear with What Neckline
1. Square Neckline
Square necklines have clean lines and show off the collarbones, so opt for short to mid-length necklaces that mirror the neckline’s geometry.
The best pick from our store is the Diamond Solitaire Necklace.
It’s a minimal piece that frames the square neckline with quiet elegance.
You can also wear the Cluster Moissanite necklace.
It adds sparkle and soft contrast to a structured neckline.
Perfect for:
- Square neckline dresses
- Square neckline wedding dresses
-
Formal and bridal wear
2. Round Neckline
For round or crew necklines, go for necklaces that follow the curve of the neckline — like collars or short pendants.
The best pick from our store is the Diamond Moissanite Snowflake necklace.
Its radiant circular pendant complements the round shape of your neckline and draws attention upward.
Best for:
- Everyday blouses
- Business casual
- Date nights
3. V-Neckline
V-neck tops elongate the neck and look best with necklaces that mimic that V-shape. So choose pendant necklaces with a drop like the Diamond Mossanite Snowflake necklace or the Diamond Solitaire necklace. Avoid chokers that cut the neckline flow.
Use this for:
- Cocktail parties
- Work events or presentations
- Formal brunches
4. Sweetheart Neckline
Sweetheart necklines call for pieces that follow the curve and balance the open chest area.
Your ideal necklace will be shorter pieces that rest above the neckline or a mix of delicate and detailed, like the Cluster Moissanite necklace.
Great for:
- Romantic occasions
- Weddings
- Elegant evenings
5. Boat Neck & Off-Shoulder
Boat necklines look great with longer, statement necklaces that add length and movement. Off-shoulder styles call for short, bold pieces like chokers or curved pendants.
You can try a layered Paperclip Chain necklace from our store to bring attention to your shoulders.
Or wear the Diamond Moissanite Snowflake necklace for sparkle and focus.
Perfect for:
- Conferences
- Art gallery visits
- Lunches
6. Crew Necklines
For high crew neck dresses, longer necklaces create contrast and break up the space.
Wear layered chains or pendant necklaces that rest below the neckline. Or opt for our Paperclip Chain necklace in a longer length for a sleek, stylish finish.
Wear to:
- Travel
- Outdoor events
-
Work
