- yellow – for jewelry you need to choose muted tones, but your handbag or shoes can be bright;
- silver – complements the gray color, giving the image elegance and sophistication.
Choosing jewelry depending on the neckline
Many women make mistakes when choosing a necklace. Here you need to pay attention not only to the style and color of the dress, but also to the shape of the neckline. So for the bustier option (fully open shoulders), you must use only exquisite jewelry. It is not recommended to use massive beads and necklaces. It is also important that the pendant does not fall below the collarbones.

The V-neck should be emphasized with jewelry that follows the shape of the neckline. Long chains are prohibited. The neckline itself can be deep or medium, but in any case you need to choose jewelry of a similar geometric shape.
For a round neckline, you can safely wear massive jewelry and long pendants. Beads are suitable for a persistent high collar. It is also allowed to use multi-layered jewelry that is placed on top of the outfit. A boat neckline requires no embellishment. You can wear just a thin chain with a small pendant.
