If you’re looking for something with sparkle for your wedding, bridal jewelry should be at the top of your checklist!
Bridal jewelry is a timeless expression of elegance, tradition and personal style. From sparkling necklaces to intricate bangles, each piece enhances the bride’s beauty on her special day. Bridal jewelry carries cultural significance and emotional value, creating cherished moments and memories.
Here we’ve outlined some tips for choosing the best bridal jewelry for any wedding dress or look.
Bridal jewelry is a general term used to describe the jewelry bought or worn on your wedding day. These special pieces of jewelry make a wonderful gift for the bride as they are a memento of this milestone day that can be worn afterwards, such as on special occasions and anniversaries.
How to choose bridal jewelry
Whether buying jewelry for yourself or the bride in your life, consider personal style and the theme and feel of the wedding.
If you’re buying wedding jewelry as a gift, look at the jewelry already owned. Do they have only yellow gold jewelry? Do they only wear delicate, menial pieces? This will help you determine their personal style and find something in line.
If a colourful theme is planned, why not seek a piece of jewelry with a gemstone in line with the shades being used? Alternatively, if the couple have a traditional venue for the big day, it’s likely a traditional jewelry piece will fit the vibe of their big day well.
When purchasing for yourself, consider a piece you’ll love wearing on the day itself and beyond. Jewelry is an investment and each item in your collection should be loved and worn as much as possible!
How much does bridal jewelry cost?
Every bride will have a different budget from another. What do you want to spend? Carefully consider what you can afford to ensure you don’t go too far out of your financial comfort zone. We would recommend choosing a trusted professional jeweler to ensure quality craftsmanship. Our Jewelry Experts can offer guidance and personalised styling advice to make the most of your budget, so consider booking an in-store appointment.
How to wear bridal jewelry
How you wear your jewelry is completely down to personal preference. Your jewelry should enhance your look and you should feel confident and comfortable on your big day. You may choose to wear one piece, such as a pair of earrings, bracelet or necklace, or all three!
Bridal bracelets
A diamond bracelet will make the ultimate wedding day gift for a bride. Diamonds have long been associated with strength and love, making them the perfect token of your affection. A tennis bracelet features a full circle of diamonds which is ideal for a bride as it’ll sparkle from any angle. A gold tennis bracelet will have a lovely contrast of cool diamonds against the warm tone of gold metal – great for photos of your big day.
A more minimal bride may like the simplicity of a chain bracelet or a bangle bracelet. Our Cecilia bracelet has an understated look, ideal for your wedding day. A simple gold bracelet will add a warm touch to a white wedding look, while silver bracelets add a contemporary edge.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly piece, you could consider sterling silver bracelets. They have a beautiful silver colouring at a lower price point than platinum and white gold. If you’re looking for a thoughtful alternative to diamonds, turn to a birthstone bracelet or even a pearl bracelet. Both have a unique appearance that will look wonderful with a wedding dress.
Bridal necklaces
A bridal necklace adds a special sparkle to your neckline. Carefully consider the cut of your dress to ensure you choose a style that enhances rather than clashes with your neckline.
Tennis necklaces have long been loved by brides thanks to their timeless design. They can be worn time and time again and will always remain in style thanks to their elegance. If the bride is a minimalist, a gold pendant necklace or a diamond solitaire necklace, such as our Paris, will look wonderful.
If you’re looking for a silver necklace, opt for a platinum or a white gold necklace. A gold necklace will have a rich look that pairs well with both ivory and white.
A birthstone necklace is a thoughtful yet colourful design that’ll be unique to the wearer. For a bridal statement necklace, you could consider a pearl necklace or an emerald necklace, depending on personal preference or the bride’s birth month.
Bridal earrings
Such a special day is the perfect opportunity to wear diamond earrings. If you’re wearing your hair up, drop earrings will add contrast to your look. Alternatively, updos are a wonderful way to accentuate a halo earring design. Modern bridal earrings could be silver hoop earrings or gold stud earrings, as they both offer a contemporary, streamlined look. Our Lyon diamond stud earrings are wonderfully versatile.
Your choice of precious metals will affect the look and feel of your jewelry. Gold earrings have a traditional, warm tone. If you’re looking for a cooler colour, platinum or white gold would work well. Sterling silver earrings are also a great choice for someone seeking a stylish look that’s more budget-conscious.
For a classic appearance, pearl earrings make a wonderful finishing touch. Whether you opt for a stud or pearl drop earrings, these glowing orbs have long been prized for their lustrous beauty and sophistication.
Bridal jewelry sets
If you’re seeking a matching look, bridal jewelry sets will feature different jewelry pieces, such as a necklace and earrings, with the same design. A bridal jewelry set will often feature the same precious metal and gemstone for a harmonious look. Plus, a bridal necklace set will make a wonderful memento of such a special day as the pieces can be worn separately every day or together on special occasions.
We’ve created a collection of jewelry pieces ideal for the wedding season. In The Wedding Edit, you’ll find designs ideal for the bride, bridesmaids or people in the wedding party. Discover the collection now.
