I think this necklace would look lovely, but would look boob-a-licious too (those aren't necessarily mutually exclusive). An 18" chain on you with the dangles would have the gems laying in your cleavage.
Henna (on your chest at least) would make your skin a focus, which I can imagine sexualizing you. Again: nice, but maybe not not right for the event.
I would recommend something collar-length for the necklace (same place a collared shirt sits when buttoned up like a boy). I do recommend some necklace to bring attention up to your face.
You can wear just about any earring that coordinates the necklace like that: long, short, hoops, stud. It's all good.
You could wear jingly bracelets, or a bangle style. But if you're not used to it, it could make you crazy at this kind of activity. :)
I bet white-focused retro jewelry would be really cool, but most of that would be bound with silver colored metal. Macy's house brands don't use nickel, though. Mother-of-pearl would look good too.
Of course, I'm always an advocate for pearls. They've been in fashion for about 3,000 years. :)
