Choosing
your piece.

A necklace for every neckline

The necklace is almost always chosen after the dress. The workshop’s creations range from fine necklaces, such as Paulette’s pearly daisy hanging from a gold chain, to the bolder chokers of the Constance and Lohanah collections, and back necklaces designed for backless dresses.

A V-neck calls for a fine pendant or a Y-necklace. A strapless bodice pairs well with a pearl-adorned choker. A backless dress can carry back jewellery, which comes into its own during the ceremony, when guests see you from behind. The aim remains the same: to highlight the dress without overloading it.

The workshop’s back chain is detachable: it can be removed after the wedding so the necklace can be worn on its own, and its length is specified when ordering. Several necklaces can be adjusted in length or made with an extension chain. If you are unsure, send the workshop a photo of the dress or your neck measurement.

Your questions

Which necklace should you wear with a wedding dress?

A V-neck works well with a fine pendant, a strapless bodice with a delicate choker, and a backless dress with a back necklace. The aim is to highlight the dress without overloading it.

What is a back necklace?

It is a necklace whose chain or pendant falls down the back, for a backless or low-back dress. The workshop’s back chain is detachable: once removed, the necklace can be worn on its own.

Can the necklace length be adjusted?

Yes, several necklaces can be adjusted in length or made with an extension chain. For a specific dress, send the workshop a photo or the neckline measurements.

How much time should I allow for a necklace?

Each creation is made to order. Allow 7 to 14 days of preparation at the workshop before dispatch. If your wedding date is approaching, write to the workshop before ordering.
