Jewelry Advice for Prom

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

Is it okay to wear diamond chandelier earrings with a pearl necklace? I have prom coming up and I really want to both.

Dear Pearly Girl,

If you are wondering whether it's okay to wear non-matching earrings and necklace, the answer is yes it's fine. If you wonder if the chandelier earrings are too overwhelming to wear with a necklace, then the answer is it depends on the size of the earrings and necklace.

Chandelier earrings come in many shapes and sizes. If the chandelier earrings are huge (very wide and very long), then no necklace or a dainty necklace would look best to balance the look. A simple pearl necklace, either a strand or single pearl drop would look fine with large chandelier earrings. If the chandelier earrings are slim, then most any size necklace would look great. Have fun!
