It's happened to all of us: you find the ideal dress for that summer wedding, a special dinner, or an important event, you look in the mirror, and the eternal question arises: which earrings best suit this neckline?
Earrings have a unique superpower in the fashion world: they frame the face, bring direct light to the eyes, and balance the proportions of our look.
However, the type of collar or neckline of your garment dictates the rules of the game. Choosing the wrong design can overload the styling or, conversely, make your jewelry go completely unnoticed.
At Anartxy, as experts in trends and designer jewelry, we have prepared this infallible guide to help you coordinate your necklines with our favorite earrings.
The golden rules for combining earrings and necklines
Before going into detail, there is a universal rule in the world of image consulting: seek visual balance.
If the neckline of your dress is already very striking or goes up to the neck, the earring should give it some prominence or slim the silhouette.
If the neckline leaves a lot of skin exposed, the jewelry has free rein to become the star of the show.
The ideal earring for each type of neckline
We analyze the season's trendiest cuts and reveal which type of Anartxy earring is its ideal inner match.
Strapless or Sweetheart Neckline
This cut leaves the shoulders, neck, and collarbone completely clear, giving you absolute freedom. Here are two options depending on the style you are looking for:
- Wow Effect: Go for large, long, or XL earrings. The geometric designs from our Prisma collection or the fluid shapes from Mirage will fill that empty space with incredible sophistication.
- Elegant Minimalism: If you prefer a cleaner look, medium-sized hoops with polished gold finishes will be more than enough.

Halter or High Neckline
The halter neckline fastens at the nape and slims the shoulders, while the high neck completely covers the torso.
With so much fabric near the face, the neck is already dressed, so we should avoid excessively long earrings that clash with the garment.
- The best option: Stud earrings, ear-hugging styles with organic shapes (like the flowers from our Bloom collection), or small, chunky hoops. They will provide just the right touch of sparkle in gold jewelry without overloading the area.

V-neck or Plunge Neckline
The V-neckline is one of the most flattering because it visually lengthens the neck and slims the torso. To accompany this vertical line, the earrings should follow the same harmony.
- The best option: Long, linear earrings or those with pointed shapes. Avoid excessively round or wide earrings. Elongated link earrings in steel jewelry will maintain that clean and stylized aesthetic.

Asymmetric Neckline (One Shoulder)
It is one of the most fun and trendy necklines, but also one of the most difficult to accessorize. By breaking the symmetry of the body, a necklace often looks strange, so the entire weight of the look falls on the ears.
- The best option: Medium-sized earrings that have personality but do not compete with the asymmetry of the shoulder. Hoops with texture or contemporary design earrings that provide light without creating visual chaos are the ideal choice.

Boat Neck or Bardot Neckline
This neckline, which goes from shoulder to shoulder, leaving the collarbones bare, evokes the glamour of classic cinema and Riviera style.
- The best option: Medium-to-large earrings with movement. Elaborate hoops, cascades of beads, or pieces with textured mirror effects will move in sync with your shoulders, creating an irresistible magnetism.
