What type of jewelry with neckline?

EAR123

My dress is a simple modified aline in cream silk shantung. It is a vneck with one section of fabric crossing over the other side, and it has moderately thin straps.

My fiancé requested I wear my hair down or half back (it is medium-long, below my shoulder blades).

What type of jewelry would work with a down 'do and a vneck with straps? Long earrings seem like they may get lost in the hair or look too busy, but something like a single strand of pearls and pearl studs seem also too much - I imagine a necklace, the dress straps and the looser hair may be too much. Any thoughts?

I would go with something more delicate. Maybe a simple chain with a tiny jewel pendant that accentuates the v-neck, and drop earrings that are similar, no more than a 2-inch drop. If your hair is half-back you should still be able to see your ears. This depends on what you want to do in terms of veil/hairpiece also. Just make sure there's not too much going on.

Thanks Sing! Should have mentioned that there will be no veil or head pieces or hair accessories.

Do you have a picture of the dress?  Or a model number and designer?

Simple pearls are the traditional bridal jewelry, and are always appropriate.

Attached! The model's dress does not show straps, which I am going to add.

I like "Y" shaped necklaces with a vneckline. I'm on my iPad or I'd post some pics, but just google y shaped necklaces and you'll see what I mean.

What about a single pearl, if you feel a strand is too much? I love the Dogeared line (Nordstrom). Very simple.

Simple and delicate sounds like a good idea. Thank you ladies!

I vote no necklace.  I am not a fan of necklaces with wedding dresses and since you will be wearing your hair down then I think it would just be too much.
