Bridal and wedding jewelry: what to choose
Guide to jewelry for brides and guests: engagement ring, wedding bands, earrings, necklace and tiara; how to combine them with the dress and neckline.
Bridal jewelry accompanies the dress without competing with it. A wedding set usually includes the engagement ring, the wedding bands and earrings, sometimes a necklace or a tiara.
By neckline #
- V-neck: short pendant or no necklace.
- Bateau or strapless: pearl necklace or choker.
- Halter: statement earrings and no necklace.
What to combine #
Keep one metal and one star stone. Pearls and diamonds are classics (pearls). A tiara turns it into a ceremonial set.
For guests #
A colored jewel or a pair of statement earrings is enough; avoid competing with the bride.
Trial and fitting #
Try the jewelry with the dress before the day; check clasps and sizes (ring size).
