What is Wedding Jewelry?
Wedding jewelry, or bridal jewelry, covers everything from earrings to necklaces, bangles, bracelets and rings. Wedding jewelry is chosen to compliment the bride’s wedding dress and in many cases, to coordinate with her engagement ring and wedding band. Traditionally, pearls were favored as the choice for brides, symbolizing protection, purity and marital harmony. Years later, it was then said to be unlucky to wear pearls on your wedding day, as they represented the tears the bride would shed. Contemporary brides of today have stepped away from pearls and in their place, diamonds and precious metals are now the front runners for wedding jewelry across the world.
Choosing Wedding Jewelry: Our Advice
There are no rules for your wedding day and we believe that personal taste should drive your decisions. However, here are some tips that we have accumulated over years of working with couples that will make your choices a little easier.
- Metal Matters. This jewelry is likely to become a special part of your collection, perhaps even becoming a family heirloom one day. We recommend 14k-18k gold or platinum to ensure longevity.
- Complimenting Colors. Choose a metal that compliments your dress and your skin tone. If your flowers are a blushing pink, the rosy hues of rose gold can create a romantic look. For sleek and traditional, the sheen of platinum is perfect. Think about the metal colors that suit you and tie these into your wedding look.
- Comfort First: If you aren’t use to wearing heavy earrings or large rings, do you want to do it on your wedding day? Every bride wants to look like a million dollars, but consider comfort and confidence when making your choices.
- Do it your own way! Throw out the rule book and choose jewelry that you love. Don’t feel restricted to choosing matching sets or certain styles – mix it up and create a specially curated wedding jewelry look that works for you.
