Gold or silver jewellery for green outfit?

I'm off to a 50th birthday party this weekend. I've bought this green jumpsuit. It's a bit more green than it looks on the picture - less teal and more Xmas tree colour 🤣

Do I go with a gold or silver necklace for this? And a long necklace (pendant that sits just on/under the bust) or shorter one (not a pendant one, more like a chain that sits on clavicle)?

The vibe of the party is "glam".

I did have a previous thread about outfit woes here: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5176873-fiftieth-birthday-party-what-to-wear

Is that a sleeve or just an asymmetric boob tube at the top? I would think no necklace if it’s a one shoulder sleeve.

I like green and gold together. I’d go for big earrings, no necklace and some bangles.

think @BleachedJumper nailed it. Gold, statement earrings, bangles if you have them.

Copper-coloured or rose gold would work well too.

Green no necklace but I'd go silver

Ooh yes, gold or copper would look fab. If you happen to have red hair this combo would look even more amazing!

LoafofSellotape · 17/10/2024 13:53

Totally depends on your skin tone surely? Are you cool toned or warm? Beautiful green btw!

IceIceBabyBump · 17/10/2024 14:13

It's like a strip of material that does over one shoulder but it kind of touches, doesn't lie flat on my shoulder. I'm at work so can't send a pic of me in it!

Skin tone - pale! Unfortunately not flaming red hair!!

Silver without a doubt.

purplecorkheart · 17/10/2024 14:17

Honestly I would base the choice of gold or silver on your skin tone rather than the colour of the dress.

IceIceBabyBump · 17/10/2024 14:55

I'm not sure I actually know my skin tone 🤔 White and pale!!!

Interesting that lots have recommended no necklace - the first thing I thought was that it needed a necklace 😅

Gold and green is very Christmas. I state that with no prejudice!

both would look ok, what the actual necklace looks like would be more important. Also I agree with NO necklace and possibly glam earrings instead!

Go for silver then.

Ok, here are some pictures of the neckline and I hope it shows my skin tone too.

Beautiful and definitely silver.

Chewbecca · 17/10/2024 20:56

Silver, no necklace. (Though gold is fashionable at the moment!)

IceIceBabyBump · 17/10/2024 21:00

Oh wow, that's consensus 🤣

I feel nervous about no necklace. I'm a very necklace sort of person and it feels a bit blocky without one - big block of green, big block of skin with nothing to break it up. But I'll defer to your expert advice and brave it without a necklace!

So, big silver earrings? And a silver statement bracelet?

Oh you look amazing in it! Way better than I would have expected seeing it flat.

LoafofSellotape · 17/10/2024 21:02

I don't think it needs a necklace,it will detract from the neckline which is stunning. Silver earrings and bangles?

IceIceBabyBump · 17/10/2024 21:04

Thank you - I'm really pleased with it and i agree the shape is much better than it looked onlinw. It's my best Vinted find to date for sure.

IceIceBabyBump · 17/10/2024 21:04

I'm off to buy statement silver earrings and bangle(s) tomorrow then!

It's gorgeous on. I agree with no necklace. Will your hair be up or down? A glam up do with stemmed earrings would look amazing. You can also go to town on your make up. Bold eyes or bold lips.

2chocolateoranges · 17/10/2024 21:13

I wouldn’t wear a necklace with that I’d go for earrings and a bracelet or bangle.

excelledyourself · 17/10/2024 21:28

You look lovely!

IceIceBabyBump · 18/10/2024 09:01

Thank you all - no necklace!

I'll have hair up with a few wispy curls framing my face. I'm thinking of a side bun (bun on the opposite side from the sleeve/strap thing). If I can do it.

I'll do winged eyeliner. Red lips.

I'm off to find a nice bangle and dramatic silver earrings this morning. I have an antique Victorian bangle but it's filthy and I don't think I can get a professional clean before tomorrow night. Never mind - I'll see what Next had to offer 😅

Thanks for all of your help!
