Wow, stunning dress.

In my opinion, you should go with just earrings (chandelier or some other kind of drop or dangle), plus a bracelet OR a big cocktail ring. White gold/diamonds would certainly compliment the white accents on the dress.

I think a necklace might look too busy, and would take away from the neckline of the dress and the sash. Best advice is to keep the jewelry relatively simple when you've got a dramatic outfit like that.

Enjoy your event!

Is this dress for the masquerade party you were invited to a few days ago? The dress is stunning.

My vote is for gorgeous earrings and a bracelet. Skip the necklace.

I agree...necklace too busy. Chandalier earrings with hair up and bracelet.

Great taste by the way. So classy!

I just flipped through Vogue, USWeekly and InStyle and either the best-dressed gals went without a necklace or a simple diamond pendant. I think that would be fine, particularly if it had sentimental value.
You MUST take photos and post them the next morning, just like the prom, so we can live vicariously through you! Have fun.

I definiely would not wear a necklace with that dress - I feel like it would take away from the neckline and make it too busy. I would go with a simple, yet elegant pair of earring and a pretty bracelet or ring to jazz it up!

Beautiful dress and hope you have fun!!
