So you’re all set to walk out the door sporting your favorite new top but wait—don’t forget to add the cherry on top: your necklace! Choosing the right necklace for your top can be easy when you follow a few essential guidelines to ensure that your jewelry accents your look without overdoing it. The shape of the neckline of your shirt, blouse or dress will inform the length of the necklace that works best. Choose the right necklace length for your top’s neckline. Is your top a crew neck, v-neck, button down collared shirt, a scoop neck, or a plunging cleavage-revealing neckline? While the colors and pattern will help you further define the perfect jewelry accent.
TIP 1: Choose a necklace length that falls at least an inch or two above or below the neckline of your shirt or dress. Avoid a necklace that hits your chest at exactly the same place as your top’s neckline as it will tend to look busy or cluttered.
TIP 2: Accent the color of your shirt or dress with a necklace.If your top is busy, stick with a necklace in a single color or material, if your top is a solid color, you are free to try multicolored or mixed material necklaces without risking overdoing it.
TIP 3: Aim for harmony between the shape of the necklace and the shape of your neckline. Notice the shape the necklace makes as it drapes from your neck and pair it with a neckline that has a similar curve or angle. A gently draping blouse will look great with a necklace that hangs in a gentle curve. A long pendant or lariat necklace will look great with a high boat neck or a strapless top since each creates straight lines.
TIP 4: Most importantly, let your personality shine thought and have fun! Think of your necklace as an opportunity to show off your own personal style. When you exude confidence and exuberance you will rock your look I promise.

2019 was quite a year at Stefanie Wolf Designs! Here are some of the highlights: 1) I was granted a Trademark Registration from the United States Patent and Trademark office. This accomplishment was a long time coming and something I began pursuing several years ago.

My long-long-time friend Stefanie Wolf is an extremely talented jewelry designer and has put together some truly special items for Valentine’s Day. She gave me a lovely necklace and earring set for my wedding, and I treasure it (and get compliments on it) still. If you're looking to treat yourself to something pretty, look no further. – Beauty Hatchery Blog

My grandmother loved costume jewelry and used to say we were part gypsy. I never leave home without earrings and lipstick!
Great tips! I can usually tell when less is more or something dramatic is needed. I love your jewelry because it is very distinctive. Hard for me to pick, I like them all! Looking forward to adding pieces to my jewelry box!
