Year 12 Formal Jewellery, Chosen by Neckline
Share
Year 12 formal jewellery is easiest to choose from the neckline of the dress, because the neckline decides whether the earrings or the necklace should be the larger piece. A strapless or off-shoulder dress leaves the throat open for a choker, such as the 22k gold plated Palazzo Choker, which sits high and close on the throat. A halter or high neck leaves the ears, where the Veil Earrings hang strands of clear stones below a 22k gold plated crescent. Orders arrive in 7 to 14 business days, so order at least three weeks before the formal.
Strapless and off-shoulder: start with the necklace
With the shoulders and collarbones bare, the necklace can be the larger piece. The Palazzo Choker, A$89, is a flexible 22k gold plated band that bends with the neck. The Mosaic Collar, A$119, sits high at the base of the throat, set with coloured stones. It is 22k gold plated throughout and closes on a lobster clasp. For pearls, the Reed Choker, A$119, is a strand of freshwater baroque stick pearls on gold tone links, about 31.5cm with a 6cm extender, closing on a T-bar toggle.
With a choker this size, a small stud keeps the earrings the smaller piece. The Pebble Studs, A$69, are an 8mm freshwater pearl on S999 silver, post and back included.
Halter and high neck: start with the earrings
The Veil Earrings, A$79, are a chandelier style, with clear stones in silver tone settings below the 22k gold plated top. The Postcard Drops, A$59, hang below the lobe from 22k gold plated hooks. The Heirloom Drops, A$69, put a baroque pearl above a 22k gold plated medallion with a woman's profile in raised relief, and hang to about mid jaw. The Wish Earrings, A$59, are a hinged 22k gold plated hoop with a natural baroque pearl drop, about 4.5cm long in total.
V, scoop and sweetheart necklines
A neckline that dips at the front leaves the base of the throat open. The Glint Necklace, A$69, gathers clear stone charms there on a 22k gold plated bead chain. The Hush Necklace, A$149, sits at the collarbone on a thread fine 22k gold plated chain, with its beads threaded straight onto it.
More pairs are in earrings, and more chokers and chains in necklaces.
