A black dress, when complemented with a piece of suitable jewellery, spells out elegance and sophistication. Depending on the occasion, you can mix-match your jewellery appropriately with a black dress. Here are a few ways to style your jewellery perfectly with a black dress.

The neckline. 

To get the most out of your jewellery, always consider the neckline of your dress while pairing a necklace.

2. The Occasion
For casual occasions, like a birthday party or a family gathering, you can dress down a black dress with some funky and casual jewellery dainty pendant set along with matching earring. For date or cocktail party, pair it with an elegant necklace or a bracelet. Do not wear multiple accessories. For more formal occasions, simply add some sparkle with stunning single large jewellery pieces like a crystal or pearl necklace or big long earrings.

3. Colour and contrast

The best part of a black dress is that it can be paired with any colour accessory without putting much thoughts into it. However, try to match all the accessories in one colour and not look like a rainbow. You can go with some white or grey pearl jewellery, multi-colour stone jewellery or even sober enamel jewellery.

4. Consider your body type

Body type is another important attribute to be considered while pairing a black dress. If you’re curvy, choose jewellery that complements rather than that accentuates your body type. Go for large, bold pieces like statement necklace or large earrings. If you have a small neck, do not cover it with large or overpowering necklaces. Go for a sleek chain pendant or no neckpiece at all. If you’re short, go for long necklaces with a black dress.

5. Pearls

Pick a royal pearl necklace and earring set or just pair your black dress with a pearl bracelet, you are most certain to look confident and classy.
