 Jewelry
is rapidly becoming one of the most important parts of the bridal
ensemble. At the same time, though, brides are also looking to get
more out of their wedding jewelry. Even though your gown and veil
might go into a box the day after your wedding day, your jewelry
doesn't have to. Wedding jewelry isn't just a keepsake, it's
something that should be enjoyed time and time again. That's why
it's especially important to take the time to select the right
piece.
The first thing to do
when it comes to selecting wedding jewelry is to look around - there are
many different styles to choose from. Many brides want wedding jewelry
that they can wear after their wedding as well. Although pearl jewelry is
the most popular choice among brides, there are plenty of alternatives. So
think ahead - consider your everyday style and fashion as well as your
wedding attire.
Still having trouble
finding the right piece? You might consider having your wedding jewelry
custom made. Many designers will do this, and even though you'll pay a bit
more, it's a great feeling knowing that you didn't have to compromise your
ideas to match something that just wasn't quite right - your bridal pieces
are designed just for you, and are one of a kind. Keep in mind that the
designer you choose to work with will want to know any ideas you have in
as much detail as possible, and will most likely also want to see your
dress (or a picture of it) as well. It's a good idea to be prepared.
Here are some other
hints and tips for selecting your bridal jewelry that will help ensure
that you look perfect on your special day:

|
Natural Pearl
Color
 |
It's
important to remember that even though all natural
pearls are described as "white," they aren't the
stark, bright white of the faux pearls that are widely
available in bridal boutiques. True natural pearls are
a beautiful, warm, off-white color, and they
will provide a wonderful accent to almost any wedding
dress, even those in ivory tones. Faux or glass pearls
can be a less expensive option, but be careful -
colors vary greatly and one designer's "white" or
"ivory" may be completely different from another's. |

Neckline
|
|
Your
wedding gown's neckline is one of the most important
things to consider when deciding what style of jewelry
to go with. Many gowns these days are designed
with open or low necklines, which can be easily
accented by a wonderful necklace and framed by
delicate earrings. If you have chosen a gown with a
closed or high neckline, a pendant style necklace
is a great choice. For gowns with heavily beaded
necklines or straps, some brides will forgo the
necklace completely and focus solely on the perfect
pair of earrings. |

Casual or Formal?
|
|
Another
important factor in selecting your wedding jewelry: Will
your wedding be casual or formal? Although casual
weddings don't necessarily mean casual jewelry, simple
tends to be the way to go. For formal weddings, often
something larger and more elegant is called for - a
gorgeous fan-style pearl necklace enhances your
traditional bridal ensemble and makes you feel a little
more glamorous in the process. |

Something Blue
|
|
The
old saying "something old, something new, something
borrowed, something blue" has been an important
wedding tradition for years. If you're having
difficulty finding something blue for your wedding
ensemble, here's an idea: Add
aquamarine or blue topaz to your
jewelry. The subtle and delicate hues of these stones
will give you a look that is fresh and light. Apatite has also recently become popular. For a
stronger statement, the rich deep blue of sapphire
or iolite makes for a marvelously graceful
appearance. |

Your Wedding
Color Theme
|
|
Having a color theme gives you the freedom to design
a unique and individual look for your wedding while
at the same time enhancing the overall glamour of
the occasion. By applying color to the right places
- be it your jewelry, the bouquet, the table
settings, or something else - you can add to the
beauty and style of your special day. For example,
if your wedding's color is burgundy, bring it out in
the bridal ensemble by adding a touch of the rich,
wine-red tone of garnet to your necklace or
earrings. If springtime colors are more your style,
the delicate lime green tone of peridot in
your jewelry will perfectly accent a pastel bridal
bouquet. |

The Beauty
of Colored Pearls
|
|
For
another unique jewelry option, try colored pearls.
Delicate champagne, pink, or even rich
brown pearls can provide a stunning accent to
a wedding dress. Consider combining colored
pearls with stones such as carnelian, citrine, and
peridot to make an even more
striking combination. |
