BRIDAL JEWELLERY

Throughout the lives of all women there floats the vision of a bride; fantasy made real. The bride is described as a vision of beauty, particularly the dress, but the bridal jewellery are items that actually play a huge role in the overall image of the bride. When choosing jewellery for the wedding day, just as the tiara is needed for the headgear, or beautiful pins keep the hair in place, so are the different types needed for the body as well. If the bride is wearing a short sleeved dress for instance, she could choose a single strand pearl bracelet. A dress with a high neckline and possibly with a collar would look best with a pearl or diamond choker. Wearing a low neckline dress opens up many jewellery opportunities, from a choker to a very long strand of plain gold or pearls called a rope. If the bride is wearing a simple, elegant dress, then a substantial, double-row array of pearls can be eye-catching. Stay away from outrageous jewellery that will distract from the bride.. Beautiful chandelier earrings that are particularly long and noticeable can be worn but then the necklace should be kept very simple or one can go without, bearing in mind that the jewellery should accent and not overpower.. Brides worry about skin tones and how it tones in with jewellery but creamy white pearls compliment any skin. If the bride wants to break away from the traditional white pearl, they are available in other lovely soft colours as well. Rhinestone are very affordable as well as they are essentially just bits of glass. As genuine Rhinestone have become depleted, resourceful jewellers have sought techniques to duplicate them. So came the idea of metal coating the backs of clear crystals, which would force reflection from the backing out through the stone.

Some brides steer away from the traditional wedding and it has become popular to wed on the beach. With their nautical connotations, who can go wrong with a single string of pearls and a shell bracelet. The beach implies that the jewellery should be plain and simple.

With a black tie wedding, the bridal jewellery should be as formal as can be. The tiara can be studded with diamonds and the chandelier earrings would be very appropriate.

Vintage wedding – There is an endless array of old-fahioned jewellery. Shell cameos, set in gold or copper, or coloured glass and baked porcelain can enhance the bridal wear as well.

Brides and weddings have changed over the years and gone are the days of the tradiitional white wedding which was always very expensive.. These days there all all kinds of different weddings such as an indian theme as well as ethnic weddings and with the right jewellery to go with them at reasonable costs. Jewellery can be made exactly to what is required and at very little cost and one can feel confident too.

Diamonds have become very popular at the modern wedding and are stunning, but pearls are known for their romance and sophistication, so whatever the form the wedding takes, there is bridal jewellery to match.
