Mods, not sure if this goes in Jewelry, Wardrobe, or Wardrobe accessories! so please move if it shouldn't be in here.

My boyfriends company has their annual xmas party coming up in early december. its in London (not sure of the venue yet, but last year it was at the Tower of London!), and its black tie.

This is the dress I'm wearing. Mine is in black, its chiffon with all sorts of gorgeous hand beaded embroidery throughout the bodice.

Question is, what kind of jewelry do I wear with this??? (links to online pics would be great!!!)

I was thinking maybe just a simple silver strand necklace and a pair of plain silver earrings since the dress has so much bling on it already.

Will it look tacky if I wear more bling for my jewelry?

If it were me, I wouldn't do a necklace - I'd do blingy earrings, either simple drops or on the ear, and a cuff or bracelet on one hand and cocktail ring on the other.

Ditto!!!^

Yeah I think I would skip the necklace and do some kind of a chunky or cuff bracelet.

Earrings or a cuff/ bracelet like the others have suggested.
