Overview:
Statement Earrings
Since the neckline of the dress will cover up your neck, opt for bold statement earrings to draw attention to your face. Look for earrings that are eye-catching and complement the colour of your dress such as gemstone earrings which boast any colour from amethyst earrings and emerald earrings to cubic zirconia earrings and diamond earrings.
Drop earrings are an ideal choice because they elongate the face, and add style to your look. Depending on the type of your dress, you could choose to go for something classic and vintage, or if you want to keep with the trends, why not go for a threader earring that is bound to take your look to the next level.
When choosing statement earrings for a high neck dress, consider the style of the dress and the occasion. For example, if the dress is already very embellished, you may want to choose simple, elegant earrings that don't overwhelm the overall look. On the other hand, if the dress is simple and understated, you can go for bolder, more dramatic earrings.
Another factor to consider is the size of the earrings. Since high neck dresses already cover up a lot of skin, you may want to choose larger earrings that can be seen from a distance. However, make sure that the earrings don't overpower your face or the dress itself. Balance is key when it comes to statement earrings, so choose a pair that complements your overall look and makes you feel confident and comfortable.

Bracelets
Bracelets can add some sparkle and interest to your wrists, which can be especially important if the dress has long sleeves that cover up your arms, or even if it doesn’t!
When choosing bracelets to wear with a high neck dress, opt for slim and elegant designs that won't compete with the neckline or the overall look of the dress. Delicate chain bracelets, simple bangles, or thin cuff bracelets can be great choices and create a sophisticated tone.
Layering bracelets is a great way to add depth and dimension to your look, especially if you decide not to wear any necklaces. Choose a thin belcher bracelet paired with a tennis bracelet for sparkle and shine or add a charm bracelet for a piece that is more meaningful.
When you wear bracelets, try to pair them with your statement earrings. It could be that they both have a similar style with the same metal colour.

Rings
The number of rings that you wear will usually depend on what style you are going for, and how many bracelets you have chosen to wear. If you want to go full-out with your jewellery, then you can go crazy with both your rings and your bracelet layers, however, to keep the look understated, pick one or the other that you are more interested in wearing.
To keep it simple, delicate and minimalistic rings that do not distract from the dress can be a good, versatile option. Explore silver rings and gold rings that come in a range of different designs for you to choose from.
You can also choose to go for a cocktail ring that will draw attention to your hand. Cocktail rings are generally more extravagant in their looks and can also be gemstone rings.

Avoid A Necklace or Layer Over The Dress
In terms of necklaces, you really have two choices. You can avoid necklaces all together, which is the best choice in most situations as a high neck dress doesn’t leave much room for a necklace to sit nicely.
On the other hand, if your dress is very simple, then you may want to spice it up a bit by layering necklaces over top of the dress. A simple black dress can look beautiful when paired with 2 silver or gold chains.
Now that you know how to best accessorise a high neck dress, you can explore a range of other dresses too! The most important thing to do when choosing your jewellery is to wear pieces that express your personal style and make you feel comfortable!
