I have a black tie wedding coming up and I've got this dress for it. Since it's long, I'm just wearing some basic black peep toe slingbacks that I already have, but I don't have any appropriate jewelry for it. I have found a few things while poking around online, but I'd love to see what you creative girls can come up with as some additional options.

Here are a few guidelines -

1. I don't have pierced ears, so any earrings you suggest would have to be clip ons.

2. If we could keep the jewelry to under $100 per item that would be great. :)

3. The beading on the dress is jet and silver with a few rhinestones, so I don't think gold will work.

Here's me in the dress -- it's a bit more "va va voom" than I'm used to. Ha ha.

And here's the link to the dress on Bluefly if you want to zoom in on the beading around the waist.

I appreciate any suggestions anyone has! :)

I agree. You look great! What I have in mind is a couple bangles and a cocktail ring. I wouldnt do a necklace, because I wouldnt want to take away from the wonderful beading on the waist.

Here are some suggestions:
leean2001212208_201x396.jpg$53 at Shopbop
kjlan2001919132_201x396.jpg$63 at Shopbop. I was thinking maybe two of these.
kjlan2005219140_201x396.jpg$100 at Shopbop. Love this ring!
adina2001012208_201x396.jpg$77 at Shopbop. This ring is very pretty and would work for everyday use too.

Very va va voom! You look great in that dress! I agree w/brazilian, I'd go with some silver bangles and maybe a cocktail ring. That dress doesn't need a lot of accessories.

I third the sentiment that you rock that dress!

However, I don't know about bangles for a black tie wedding. I love the jangly sound of bangles, but I don't think it's the best call here. Maybe just one bangle, but I'd do a cocktail ring (love the frst one brazilian suggested) and earrings, instead. Some sort of chandelier earring should work great. I think something with crystals would catch the light and show up well against your dark hair.

Have fun!

What a great dress!  I love the idea of a cocktail ring and huge studs or chandelier earrings.  Have a great time!
