Which necklace suits which neckline comes down to the edge of the fabric: the necklace either repeats the shape of the neckline or adds a calm point to the open space. A round neck suits a fine chain or a small pendant just above the edge, a V-neck a pendant that points down into the V.
For how to bring necklaces and earrings together, read our piece on which earrings go with your necklace. It also helps to read up on combining earrings. This one is about that one look in the morning: top on, so which necklace now?
What does it mean to follow the edge?
With necklaces and necklines, one simple idea helps, and you can reuse it every day. Either you repeat the shape: round with round, a pendant pointing down with a V. Or you fill the space: a wide neckline leaves room that a chain with texture can take.
It saves time. Instead of pulling the second top of the morning back over your head, you just swap the necklace and you're done.
Round neck, V-neck, collar, square: what goes with what?
- Round neck: A small pendant just above the edge works well, such as the polished heart on Clara. The round neckline frames it.
- V-neck: A necklace for a V-neck can point down into the V. The phoenix on Seraphina, wings open, fills the V and carries the line downward. For what the phoenix stands for, see our piece on pendants and their meaning.
- Open shirt collar or blouse: One fine line is enough here. Lucinda lies quietly inside an open collar, so there is nothing to adjust during the day.
- Wide, square or U-shaped neckline: The open space can take some texture. With its small beads, Margot brings a soft, dotted shimmer to the collarbone.
- High collar and turtleneck: A chain with texture can simply lie on top of the knit. For more, see jewelry for a turtleneck.
- Off-the-shoulder or strappy top: A single fine line is enough; the neckline does the rest.

And the earrings?
Choose the necklace first, then the earrings. If you mix several pairs or shapes, our guide to combining earrings helps.
Which necklace will you reach for tomorrow?
Tomorrow morning, look at the edge of your top first, then at the necklace. Over time, matching necklace and neckline becomes a habit you no longer think about.

FAQ
Which necklace goes with a V-neck?
A necklace with a pendant that points down into the V. That way the necklace continues the line of the neckline, and the eye travels calmly downward.
Which necklace do I wear with a round neck?
A fine chain or a small pendant that sits just above the edge. Then the round neckline frames the necklace.
Which necklace goes with an open-collar blouse?
A fine, simple chain. It lies quietly inside the collar, and you never have to adjust it during the day.
