need recs for jewelry with this dress

I would love some recommendations for earrings (not long) and bracelets to wear with this dress. Alos, what kind of bag would you carry? I was thinking of a casual clutch. any color ideas?

I would first try something in the seafoam/aqua/not too bright turquoise family and, since I am a matchy-matchy person, I would look for something with angles (square or triangular somewhere) to repeat the dress pattern.

I'm not a bag lady, but a clutch sounds nice. Would raspberry work? Or is the color warmer like brick? I don't trust my monitor colors.

Pretty! I think the tones are soft and with the pattern going on, I would keep accessories bold but simple.
A small silver hoop, a silver cuff. Or cream/white bracelet if you have that.
For purse, a solid would work in so many colors (grey, cream/white, metallic silver, raspberry, maybe a light tan or even a rich cognac?)

Do you have any options already at home? It is a really stunning dress.

I would choose an earring with some sort of lacy effect in a plain metal to reflect the pattern rather than the colours in the dress. This would let the dress shine on its own merit. If the earring is not too short or too long you won't need to wear a necklace and can wear a bracelet as suggested by Christieanne.
