What is the best jewelry to wear with an old fashioned dress?

I have a dress that is styled after the little black dress Audrey H. first introduced. It fits snugly on the body, is right below the knee in length and sleeveless. However here is where I'm stuck. It has a square open back to it with 2 1/2 inch straps that go up the back and button right at the top of the shoulder! This means that there is absolutely NO CURVE or V-NECK. The front is completely straight across the chest, right below the neck. I'm having a hard time trying to figure our what kind of jewelry to wear with this dress which is, beautiful!, but it's just a tight, elegant, classy, but almost TOO simple dress. I'm wearing it to WORK. It's very professional but should I go chunky pearls? Simple pearls? dangle earing, stud, or non? Maybe just a thick bracelet? Please help.

I need to dress it up a little. I'm 5'8, size four, with very light (natural) long blonde hair. I'll be wearing it with black peep-toe stilettoes. Hope that helps!!

I would say go with a silver pendant on a cute silver chain.. or pearls. Don't do both pearls and silver. And if you wear earrings, wear small pearl or small silver or gold. No dangle! But to tell you the truth, this type of dress is too much for work. Stick with skirts and blouses or suits.
