Keep the neckline of whatever you're planning to wear in mind as you select necklaces. Generally, a necklace should hit above or below the neckline rather than right on it. Shop a large selection of necklaces on 1stDibs.

    No, a still life doesn't have to be realistic. Still life is a genre or type of subject matter. To fit the definition, a piece simply needs to portray inanimate objects.
