CRYSTAL PINBALL PAVE NECKLACE
Shop the CRYSTAL PINBALL PAVE NECKLACEThe Crystal Pinball Pavé Necklace reimagines the classic collar with 14K gold-plated pinball beads strung through pavé D-rings — a high-shine statement that sits close to the neckline and throws light from every angle.
10 Ways to Wear It
- Layer the Crystal Pinball Pavé Necklace over a crisp white tee and slip dress combo, then add the Crystal Knot Headband and small gold huggies for a polished day-into-night look.
- Pair the necklace with a deep V cashmere sweater, oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses pushed up, and a silk Twilly scarf tied at the wrist — letting the crystal collar do the sparkling.
- Style it over a black bandeau and high-waisted tuxedo trousers; add a sleek low bun, the Crystal Pavé Belt, and a single sculptural cocktail ring for modern power dressing.
- Wear the necklace with a cream silk blouse tucked into vintage denim, the Knotted Crystal Headband, and chunky gold chain earrings to lean into the layered jewelry trend.
- Layer the pavé collar with two longer dainty gold chains of varying lengths, switch to tiny diamond studs, and finish with a tuxedo blazer for elevated evening polish.
- Style it over a slinky bias-cut slip dress in champagne, with soft waves, the Crystal Rosette Bobby Pin set, and a bold red lip — proportions kept clean so the necklace leads.
- Pair the necklace with a chunky ivory knit and wide-leg camel trousers, then add the Crystal Knot Headband and a stack of pavé bangles for cozy-cool fall texture.
- Wear it over a black turtleneck with sleek hair pulled back, the Crystal Embellished Headband, and small gold studs — letting one sparkle moment per zone.
- Style the pavé collar with a floral midi dress, the Silk Knotted Headband in a complementary print, and drop earrings no larger than the jawline to keep the neckline as hero.
- Layer the Crystal Pinball Pavé Necklace over a crisp poplin shirtdress, cinch the waist with the Crystal Pavé Belt, and add oversize rectangular sunglasses for downtown gallery energy.

How to Style It With Your Hair
Hair DownSoft, blown-out waves tucked behind one ear to let the pavé D-rings catch the light unobstructed.
PonytailA sleek, low ponytail with a center part so the collar sits cleanly on bare skin and reads as the focal point.
Half-UpA polished half-up style with the Crystal Knot Headband, leaving soft tendrils to frame the necklace's sparkle.
BunA sleek low chignon with a clean middle part — the cleanest canvas for the 15-inch collar to sit on the collarbone.

Styling Tips
- Keep earrings dainty or skip them entirely — the pavé collar is a hero piece and competes with any earring above stud scale.
- Pair with clean necklines (crew, off-shoulder, strapless, open collar) so the D-rings aren't lost against busy fabric.
- Layer only with longer, finer chains to elongate the silhouette without crowding the sparkle.
- Store flat in the striped pouch to protect the pavé settings and prevent the lobster clasp from tangling with other pieces.
- Let hair off the neck when wearing — a low bun or a headband pulled back keeps the 15-inch line visible at all times.
