When it comes to jewelry styling, pairing necklaces and earrings can feel like a fine art. Get it right, and your look is effortlessly cohesive. Get it wrong, and your accessories can feel mismatched or overwhelming.
So, how do you pair a necklace with earrings for maximum impact? Here’s everything you need to know to create a balanced, stylish look for any occasion.
Match the Occasion
The first step to pairing a necklace with earrings is considering the occasion. Are you dressing for a casual brunch, an office meeting, or a formal event?
If you’re going for a causal look, keep it simple. A dainty pendant necklace with small studs or hoops creates an understated yet polished vibe.
For work settings, choose subtle accessories like a chain necklace and classic studs to keep things professional.
Now, for formal events go for bold earrings and a complementary necklace that adds a statement-making touch without competing for attention.

Balance Statement Pieces
When it comes to statement jewelry, balance is key. If one piece takes center stage, let the other play a supporting role.
- Bold Earrings: Pair them with a simple chain or delicate pendant necklace to avoid overpowering your look.
- Statement Necklace: Keep earrings minimal, like small hoops or studs, to let the necklace shine.
Avoid pairing two bold pieces together unless you’re going for a very dramatic, fashion-forward look.
Consider the Neckline
Your neckline plays a major role in how your necklace and earrings work together.
- Low Necklines (v-neck, scoop): Go for a longer necklace with drop or dangle earrings for an elongating effect.
- High Necklines (turtleneck, crew): Choose shorter necklaces, like chokers or collar necklaces, paired with studs or small hoops.
- Strapless or Off-the-Shoulder: Highlight your collarbone with a statement necklace or layered chains. Pair with bold drop earrings for maximum impact.

Stick to a Theme
Consistency in style and materials helps create a cohesive look. Pair gold with gold, silver with silver, or mix metals intentionally for a trendy look.
If your necklace features geometric shapes, opt for earrings with similar designs.
If your earrings have pearls, consider a necklace with the same element.
Layer with Intention
If you love layering, make sure your combinations don’t overwhelm each other. For necklaces, choose layers in varying lengths to avoid tangling and create a cascading effect, and stack multiple studs or ear cuffs for a modern, edgy look, but keep them proportional to your necklaces.
