How should I wear a necklace with formal wear?
Strapless/Sweetheart:
These styles highlight the collarbone, making them perfect for choker necklaces, statement necklaces, or a bold pendant.
V-Neck/Plunging:
Choose a necklace that mirrors the shape, such as a pendant, lariat, or Y-necklace to draw the eye downward.
High Neck/Turtleneck:
Skip the necklace and opt for statement earrings, or wear a single long pendant necklace to add length.
Avoid a necklace, as it disrupts the asymmetrical line of the gown. Focus on earrings or a bracelet.
Pair with a delicate pendant or a choker to fill the open space.
MEET KARIN
Like all rewarding journeys, Karin Jamieson’s path to becoming an award-winning jewelry designer has included a detour or two.
After successful post-collegiate turns as a travel agent, and then as a financial advisor for a major investment firm, Karin decided to pursue her life-long interest in gemstones and enrolled in a course at the Gemological Institute of America.
Her passion and talent for working with rare stones was obvious, and she soon received an offer from Tiffany & Co. to take a position in sales and earn her GIA Graduate Gemologist®️ Certification.
Graduate Gemologist® Program (gia.edu). It was here that Karin began to build a roster of private clients for her own designs.
