Illustration: Bridal and wedding jewelry: what to choose

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).
