Sorry for being blunt, but I've spent 15 years viewing children's musical performances, and occasionally helping out as volunteer, for solo recitals, competitions, auditions, full orchestral or choral concerts, anywhere from small halls/churches to Carnegie Hall... and all this is completely moot. Wear what you want. No one cares except you.

OP here. You misunderstand. I'm not trying to dress to impress people at the recital. I just want some jewelry to liven up this outfit because *I* think it would look better. It's for me. I am wearing something that I will be comfortable in but it is feeling a bit dour and I just want a necklace or something so that I feel more dressed up.

PP you replied to. I felt there was an undercurrent of "what will people think" in your first post, but regardless, none of it matters. We don't know your tastes or what's in your jewelry box, or your budget if you want to buy something, so this thread is pretty pointless. Wear what makes you happy, and next time make sure there is no way to misunderstand your intent when you ask a question.

Statement necklaces are not popular right now, although I think a turquoise necklace might be nice.

OP here. I love this stone and color, thank you. I am googling now looking for options. I think this would look really nice against the black.
