Let’s face it. Dual tones are boring. Solid black, greys or blues turn you on and your gaze always turns to them when you’re out shopping. So, you’re a monochrome lover.

The Cambridge dictionary defines monochrome as “using only black, white and grey, or using only one colour.” And to most people, this seems rather an uninteresting proposition. However, monochrome outfits can be spruced up with the right kind jewellery. And we believe that 2016 might as well be made the year of monochrome. Here are five must-have pearl necklaces for monochromes.

Necklace with great artwork

Who doesn’t love elaborate designs and intricate handiwork? They spell luxury and transform your outfit completely. Though they can be pricey, they can be reused and matched with many kinds of clothes, so you have a winner!

This white pearl necklace, embedded with coral and turquoise is perfect for dark colored dresses or gowns. It comes in a set, so you can throw on the earrings too.

Classic pearl

A plain white pearl necklace can never go wrong. It looks stellar when worn with navy blue or black. This pearl-gold set will be the perfect companion to your LBD. It has a large circular pearl pendant with a pretty gold border and semi-precious stones encrusted. You’re all set for the fancy dinner.

Emeralds

While pearl is versatile, it is an even bigger boon when put together with stones. Like, in this cute, simple set where it is wonderfully complemented by the bottle-green color of emerald. The pearl is white and they are strung together with a gold chain.

If you like your accessories to be minimal, you can wear this set with either an off-white or a black top/dress.

Colorful Thewa Jewellery

Since it’s the wedding season, we are sure you are quite muddled up with clothes and dresses. Frequent trips to the tailor and poring over Pinterest are your major tasks for the day. A good idea would be to pick out a monochrome gown in dark green or turquoise blue. Add to that this extremely colorful Rajasthani thewa jewellery set, and you’re all set for the occasion.

As red as a ruby

If your wardrobe is filled with white clothes, then plain pearls might not be a great idea. That’s where CZ and semi-precious stones come to the rescue. Invest in this beautiful set made of pearls and semi-precious red stones and you’re going to shine bright in that white top.

With the right colors and necklines, these necklace sets can be stunners and work wonders for your monochrome outfit. Monochromes for 2016!
