Necklace, neckline and chain length work well together when each leaves room for the others.

## By neckline

- **V-neck:** a short pendant in a V shape or a chain that follows the line.
- **Round:** a short necklace or a pendant that marks the center.
- **Square:** geometric-shaped necklaces or fine chains.
- **Boat or off-the-shoulder:** often best without a necklace; statement earrings.
- **Strapless:** a striking necklace or a choker, or just earrings.
- **High neck or turtleneck:** a long chain over the fabric or just earrings.
- **Open shirt:** a fine chain or a small pendant peeking out.

For length, see [necklace chain length](https://www.711grados.com/en/necklace-length-guide/).

## By clothes

- **Prints or very colorful:** simple jewelry so as not to overload.
- **Plain, neutral garments:** a good background for a statement piece.
- **Colored clothes:** metals and stones that match the color or contrast without competing.
- **Elegant clothes:** pearls, fine chains and discreet stones.
- **Casual clothes:** cords, chains and handmade pieces. See [cord necklaces](https://www.711grados.com/en/cord-necklaces/).

## A balance

If the earrings are large, keep the necklace discreet; if the necklace is large, keep the earrings small. See [understated or statement](https://www.711grados.com/en/understated-or-statement-jewelry/).
