If you have a short neck and a large chest, have the line shortest of all neckline (as seen in the image) you should not saturate the area with ornaments and you will expand your cleavage, however if you have a long neck and chest you shall allow little more to decorate the area to create more volume and more effeminate and not so languid curves.
