How to Choose the Right Necklace for Your Neckline

Factually, there are varied necklaces for every neckline. Think of necklace selection as a simple formula: length + style + outfit. By understanding these three elements, you’ll be able to pick pieces that naturally enhance your overall look.

  • Length: In the modern market, there’s a plethora of necklace lengths, each suited for different necklines:

  • Choker (14-16 inches): sits snugly on the neck, perfect for open necklines.

  • Princess (18 inches): rests just below the collarbone, versatile and classic.

  • Matinee (20-24 inches): falls between the collarbone and the bust, great for higher necklines.

  • Long (over 24 inches): hits mid-chest or lower, ideal for layered or statement looks.

  • Style: The shape and design of the pendant or chain should harmonize with your outfit’s vibe—whether delicate and dainty or bold and statement-making.

  • Outfit: The fabric, pattern, occasion, and neckline type all influence what necklace style works best.

Best Necklaces for Saree Necklines

The relationship between sarees and necklaces goes a long way back. You just have to make sure that your saree doesn’t outperform your necklace and vice versa. So, pick the one that is in contrast with the saree, yet leverages the overall traditional attire. 

1. Deep V-Neck Saree Blouses

For a saree with a deep V-neck blouse style, opt for a V-shaped necklace (can be with a pendant). Options like our Vogue V Necklace complement your neckline, drawing attention elegantly, while giving an elongated outlook.

2. Boat Neck Saree Blouse

Boat neck sarees look stunning with statement chokers or collar necklaces that fill the neckline’s width, adding a regal and traditional touch. You can pair a choker for saree that best matches the color tone of the other.

3. Sweetheart Neck Saree Blouse

Curved pendants and romantic shapes like hearts or floral motifs complement the neckline beautifully. A sweetheart neck necklace brings softness and femininity to your look.

4. High Neck/Collared Saree Blouse

A long necklace for high neck is always recommended by the modern fashionistas. High-neck saree blouses call for long chains or layered long necklaces to add vertical interest without overwhelming the neckline.

Best Necklaces for Kurti Necklines

Kurtis, as we all know, offers a perfect balance between contemporary outlook and traditional tone. So for each neckline, a versatile necklace inspires a unique necklace style.

1. Round Neck Kurti

Short pendants like our Solar Flare Pendant and minimal chokers work well here, providing subtle elegance without clashing with the neckline’s simple curve. Your round neck kurti necklace can rock as your office outfit as well.

2. V-Neck Kurti

Minimal chains with geometric pendants are perfect for V-neck kurtis, emphasizing the neckline’s shape and adding a modern twist. Get our Vogue V Necklace to end this debate.

3. Mandarin Collar Kurti

With mandarin collars, go for long chains only. The aesthetic contrast, got it? Skip chokers to avoid crowding the neckline and keep your look balanced.

4. Square Neck Kurti

Chunky structured pendants can make a bold statement with your squared neck Kurtis. Still looking for that perfect square neck necklace? Take a quick look at our Heart of Pearl Necklace.

Best Necklaces for Western Outfits

Matching necklaces with Western outfits can be a tricky act. This particularly bothers Indian women as they are not used to Western cultures and fashion. If you are confused about neckline choices and running out of ideas, here are some quick tips:

1. Scoop Neck Tops

Layered chains, discs, and coin pendants sit beautifully on scoop necklines, adding dimension and trendy charm. Our Antique Coin Cascade Necklace can seamlessly fit your office attire. 

2. V-Neck Tops & Dresses

Drop pendants and Y-necklaces are lush choices that enhance the plunge of V-necklaces, bringing grace and elongation. Even if you are wearing a dark blazer, our Elegant Blossom Necklace set will rightly merge with the vibe. 

3. Off Shoulder / Bardot Tops

Bold chokers or collar necklaces perfectly fill the exposed shoulders and neckline, delivering a chic and glamorous vibe.

4. High Neck / Turtleneck

For tops with high necks or turtlenecks, long chains with statement pendants create a stunning vertical contrast and add interest without bulk.

Best Partywear Necklaces for Different Outfits

There are countless partywear outfits. But matching the ones you have with a proper necklace can be tough. 

There can be two scenarios based on your outfit’s tone:

  • In case of a bold outfit, go for a subtle tone with dainty necklaces or single small pendants. This will make your overall attire look balanced and elegant instead of a “wannabe” type.

  • In case you are going for a neutral outfit.  Large statement necklaces, layered chains, or colorful gemstone pieces can rightly complement your outfit. 

Now that we have discussed the tonality, let's look at the broad party dresses and how you can match them with a perfect necklace.

1. Party Sarees

Choose shimmer pendants or layered chains that catch the light and bring out the saree’s festive spirit. Try our Leafy Charm Necklace, which has a very natural vibe. 

2. Cocktail Dresses

Rhinestone chokers or glam silver chains add sparkling elegance, perfect for cocktail events or evening parties. Something like our Silver Cascade Necklace can justify the impact you are trying to make at a party. 

3. Indo-Western Outfits

Mixed metal necklaces and modern pearls complement Indo-Western fusion outfits beautifully, blending tradition with contemporary flair. Our Mixed Metal Fusion Necklace won't let you down in this scenario.
