What jewelry goes with my BM dresses? Please help! (WITH PIX)

I would like to get my BMs their day-of jewelry as part of their gift. However, they ended up picking a spaghetti strap dress, so I have no idea what kind of jewelry goes with that! (I usually wear strapless). I was thinking maybe some kind of pendant?

What about earrings and/or bracelet? Should I do a bracelet instead of a necklace? stud earrings or dangle? How much is too much with this dress?

What about color? their shoes are silver -- should i stick with silver-tone jewelry? incorporate some color too?

Should I avoid jewelry altogether? One of my BMs is sensitive to a lot of jewelry and usually has to wear real gold. I didn't know if it was on some kind of non-metallic cord -- would that avoid the problem? I don't remember if it turns her green or makes her itch, but I'd like her to be comfortable! Or, maybe I can shop the sales/Tri County and find something nice that might work for all of them? (I plan to find out the details about that BM and what she can/can't wear)

I attached pictures of the stock photo, a closeup on the neckline, and a pic of real people wearing it with diff necklaces. Color is indigo.

PLEASE POST ANY SUGGESTIONS, IF YOU HAVE ANY! EVEN IF IT'S JUST FOR STYLE

I think you could do a pendant or what about pearls? I have really sensitive skin and I'm allergic to silver (it just makes me itchy and red) but usually other jewelry doesn't bother me. I would definitely find out what she is allergic to. You could check out Macy's, Kohl's, etc. for jewelry for decent prices. Good luck!

I love pearls, and love the look of pearls but I think a strand of pearls would look weird with the spaghetti straps...... Maybe a 1 pearl pendant would be OK.... but then it goes back to the metal allergy problem.

EDIT: Would it be weird if I got them pendants and let her put it on one of her own white gold chains assuming she has one?

You could do that or you could let everyone wear their own jewelry. Maybe ask that they wear a pendant. I think pearls would look ok with the spaghetti straps..maybe you can photoshop in an image to see how it looks?

you can look at overstock.com, target.com for some gold or white gold pendants or pearl jewelry. some of them offered sets. I got a three pearl set from them.
