    My dress is technically diamond white. In some lights, it looks ivory and I'm sure with some camera flash, it'll appear whiter. What color jewelry do you think is best - the silver or the gold? Thanks!

    Oh - and should I wear a necklace??

    From looking at that photo and those choices, I'd say I like the gold better.  What do you normally wear?  What color are your e-ring/wedding ring?

    What do you usually wear?  Which looks best on you?  I think with your dress you could go either way...  and it looks like you can dress it up as much as you want because of the beautiful simplicity of the dress :)

    I agree with doctorgirl. I think with your dress you could go with gold or silver, so pick what you like and what you might like to wear again.

    I agree w/ the other ladies... both would work, so go with what you normally wear.
    Or what your rings are :)

    I think the gold might look better, since your dress is creamy.

    It's hard since you said your dress tends to look different in natural light (bright white) compared to the photo above where it looks ivory---either way it's so pretty! I would have to say wear what you want and you normally prefer. If you aren't a gold girl then don't wear it. If you do wear it, at some point I'm sure you'll say you wish you hadn't. I think for your skin tone you could do either, but silver will be a safe bet!

    Yup... honestly go with whatever metal you normally wear. if your e-ring is yellow gold then go with that and visa versa. Personally I always wear silver or white gold and NEVER wear yellow just because it doesn't look as good on my skin. As for necklace, you could definitely get away with wearing one. a pretty little delicate one or a really big chunky one depending on the style your going for. 

    I think you have a lot of opinions to choose from :D

    I like the silver personally, but I would say that you should match your e-ring and wedding band!

    I'd say silver.  Your jewlery should accent your dress, and I'm afraid the gold would pull the attention away from that fab dress of yours.

    I would pair silver with the dress, UNLESS your skin tone goes better with gold. Considering that the dress is going to be bright white, it might be good to have something that helps make you look a bit "warmer".

    In the end, I would go with what looks better with you. What you normally wear. =)
