The scale of the necklace and the size of the beads will make all the difference to whether you make your bust look larger or smaller.

Large Bust Minimize

• Wrap long strands of beads or pearls around your neck multiple times.
• Look for slightly larger or chunkier beads in your necklace to balance your large bust.
• If you have lots of slimmer, longer necklaces, why not layer them over each other to take up more space and create a larger scale appearance.
• You want the volume of a long necklace to start at your neck, this will help draw the eye upwards, even though the necklace will drape over your bust.

Small Bust Maximize

• Delicate pieces won’t make your bust look smaller.
• Feature one piece at a time.
• You don’t need the necklace to be voluminous at the neck, you can have feature beads over your bust area to add volume to your chest.

You will see you can make your bust appear either larger or smaller, depending on the scale of the necklace, the area it takes up, and where the details feature on the necklace.
