5 ways to Wear & Pair

How to Choose the Right Necklace for Your Neckline By Spallanzani Jewels 

A necklace isn’t just an accessory, it’s a frame for your outfit, a mood-setter, and often, the first thing people notice. The secret to wearing necklaces beautifully lies in pairing them with the right neckline. It’s a small styling choice that makes a big visual difference. Whether you’re aiming for elegant simplicity or bold expression, this guide will help you harmonize your jewelry with your outfit. 

1. V-Neck Tops: Draw the Eye Inward

V-necks naturally form a point that draws the eye to the chest and neck area. This makes them ideal for necklaces that mimic the V-shape, drawing attention toward your face while enhancing your décolletage. 

How to style it: 

• Go for delicate pendants that sit just above or along the V-line. Think of fine chains with small charms or stones. 
• Layered necklaces work beautifully here—especially when combining different chain lengths to create a cascading effect. 
• Avoid overly wide or flat necklaces, as they can clash with the pointed neckline.
  Spallanzani Pick: The Believe Collection offers delicate charm necklaces that balance subtlety with symbolism. Wear one alone for minimal elegance, or layer with longer chains for depth and detail.
  Style Tip: A V-neck top with a sleek ponytail and a trio of layered charm necklaces exudes effortless chic. 

2. Round Necklines: Embrace Contrast & Volume
 
High, round necklines create a continuous, covered space from the collarbone to the chin. Without accessories, this area can feel blank. The right necklace fills this space and breaks up the visual block. 

How to style it:  

• Opt for chunky statement pieces, short collars, or gemstone chokers that sit above or right at the neckline. 
• Don’t be afraid of color and texture—round necks can carry bold, structured jewelry better than most other styles. 
• Pair with pulled-back hair or a top knot to let the necklace shine.

Spallanzani Pick: The Stella Drop Chain Necklace, with its modern drop silhouette, adds just
the right amount of edge and balance to a clean, round neckline.
Style Tip: For an artful look, pair a high-neck black tee with a gold Stella Drop Chain and bold lipstick. 

3. Off-the-Shoulder & Strapless: Spotlight the Collarbone 

Exposed shoulders and collarbones create a dramatic, elegant canvas. This is the perfect time to highlight your neck and upper chest with sculptural, eye-catching necklaces. 

How to style it: 

• Stick with short necklaces that sit along the collarbone. This keeps the visual weight near the neckline. 
• Statement chokers or wide collars give a regal and modern feel. 
• Avoid long pendants, which can distract from the open neckline and make the look feel
  unbalanced. 

Spallanzani Pick: The Cleopatra Necklace is a show-stopper. With its sculptural elegance and timeless boldness, it turns bare skin into a runway moment.
Style Tip: Strapless top, hair swept back, Cleopatra Necklace, and a nude lip = iconic. 

4. Button-Down Shirts: Play with Layers 

Button-downs are versatile and timeless, but often formal. Jewelry is the key to giving them personality and edge. A few undone buttons create space for layered necklaces that soften the structure of the shirt. 

How to style it: 

• Open 1–3 buttons and layer a short, delicate pendant with a medium-length chain for a relaxed yet put-together look. 
• Avoid overly chunky pieces that compete with the shirt’s placket. 
• For a professional look, go for one sleek piece; for off-duty style, stack away.
  

Spallanzani Pick: The Stella Chain Necklace, when layered with a personalized pendant, adds just enough dimension to turn your classic shirt into a fashion-forward statement. 

Style Tip: Roll up the sleeves, tuck in one side of the shirt, and stack chains for a relaxed-chic vibe. 

5. Square Necklines: Echo the Geometry 

Square necks offer a modern, architectural feel. The key is to mirror the clean, angular lines with jewelry that feels equally composed and intentional. 

How to style it: 

• Choose short to mid-length necklaces that rest above the neckline and align with its width. 
• Opt for structured, symmetrical designs that mirror the neckline's frame. 
• Delicate yet bold works best, think strong lines without being bulky.
  

Spallanzani Pick: The Only You Iconic Necklace offers a clean, statement-making design that sits perfectly within the square neckline’s frame, creating visual harmony.
Style Tip: Wear your hair tucked behind your ears and go light on earrings to keep the focus on your neck and necklace.
