Sweetheart
To best complement this skin-baring style, Macari recommends accentuating the décolletage with a necklace that comes to a point.

Bateau
Following the natural curve of the collarbone, bateau necklines look best when paired with a bracelet and mid-length drop earrings, which Macari says help “create movement.”
14-karat-white-gold drop earrings with diamonds, $2,600, and 18-karat-yellow-, white-, and rose-gold bangles with diamonds, starting at $1,975 each, all Adamas Fine Jewelry.

V-Neck
“A bold necklace could compete with the neckline and make it look too busy,” Macari says. Aim for simplicity with your favorite pair of studs and a bracelet instead.
“Mini Bailey” 14-karat-rose-gold earrings with diamonds, $485, and “Bailey” 14-karat-rose-gold charm bracelet with diamonds, $795, both Laura Preshong.

No need to play it safe on your wedding day. Show off your style with a necklace that “incorporates color or unique shapes,” Macari says. “One that hits your collarbone will be the most flattering.”
