what necklace with this?

[SassyB]

What kind of necklace do you think would go well with this dress? Pearls? Crystal?
The detail work is mostly crystals....

Thanks!

This isn''t helpful, but you could do either or both. I would do a more understated necklace because of the amount of bling on the dress. You could do some really nice larger earrings though.

I would either do a very simple necklace sparkly necklace. Or no necklace and bigger sparkly earrings. I think your dress (which is amazing) has too much bling for pearls. I think pearls look best with more simple dresses, lace, etc.

I 100% disagree about the pearls. I think the simplicity of the pearls would offset the details on the dress nicely.

My initial thought is yes, however, it may look different on than I actually envision it in my head.

That gorgeous detailing on your dress is "like" a necklace .... How about just having some killer earrings alone?

I second the suggestion for just earrings - I think sparkly chandeliers would be smashing. Could you try something like that on with the dress at your next fitting and see what you think?

I would probably go with the sparkly chandelier earrings that these ladies have suggested along with a solitaire pendant necklace (pearl or crystal).
