I don't have any advice, but just wanted to say nice choice OP. Bet you'll look stunning in that dress!

No necklace! Not with those sleeves and not with chandelier earrings, which is what I would choose. Bracelet and cocktail ring.

I'm the OP--I love these earrings:

I just wish they weren't $36,500.

Thanks for the link, PP! I bookmarked it. Very pretty earrings!

Thanks for the kind comments re: the dress.

I'd love a link to any sort of necklace that would work. I can't wear a bracelet, unfortunately.

The shoes are more of a silvery metallic, so I'm going to stay away from gold.

I can't tell from the picture if those shoes are silver of gold but they should match the metal in whatever jewelry you pick. Don't do a gold necklace/earrings with silver shoes or vice versa.

And I agree that pearls are the wrong choice. Go with rhinestones.

Dangly earrings and a simple (not statement) necklace. I love that dress! I wish I had an event to wear it.

I would wear dangling earrings and a bracelet - no necklace. Given the metallic shoes and sparkly sleeves, I'd look for rhinestone chandelier earrings and a matching bracelet (like a faux tennis bracelet). I know that sounds cheesy but there are some pretty not too over the top options - personally I'd go into Nordstroms and look in person. Very pretty dress and shoes, by the way!

Sapphires sound good...but (a) would it be okay if they were fake (because I'm not buying real jewels for one night), and (b) would it be too matchy-matchy with the navy dress?

I'd wear several stacked silver bracelets, maybe one with saphires. I have some diamond and saphire earrings that I would wear, but diamond studs or drop earrings would work too.

Oh, and if you have any links to possible necklaces or earrings, I'd love that!

LOL on the diamond/CZ. I have some okay-looking fake studs, but are studs preferable to dangling earrings? I can't wear a bracelet, because I have a picking disorder & have zero fingernails (as in chewed down beyond what's considered possible). I don't draw attention to my hands for that reason.

This is the OP--I'd considered pearls, but I think they won't work with the metallic shoes. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I bought this dress for an upcoming special event:

I rarely wear navy and was unsure what footwear to purchase, but someone recommended that I wear metallic shoes, so I bought these:

I have no idea what to wear in terms of jewelry. I was thinking I'd go without a necklace, because the sequined sleeves seem to provide enough ornamentation up top. But do I need a necklace? Just a necklace, or earrings instead, or both?

I'm clueless when it comes to choosing jewelry in general, and I'm really confused as to how to work with navy. I typically wear black and silver everything.

I'm short and thin, straight blonde hair, brown eyes, very pale/yellow complexion.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
