The right jewelry is crucial to your bridal look. Think of them as the icing on your cake. No matter how beautiful your dress is, it’s incomplete without the right accessories.
Shopping for wedding jewelry doesn’t have to be a complicated process. This guide outlines the best tips for helping you find the right pieces.
Find Your Wedding Band Style
Even though the engagement ring often takes the limelight, finding the right wedding band is equally important.
A classic wedding band is usually crafted from platinum, as well as white, yellow, or rose gold. Alternative styles include stainless steel and titanium.
Wedding band styles also vary. Popular picks include pavé, eternity, and anniversary bands. Since you’re wearing your wedding ring almost every day, choose a band material and style that fits your lifestyle.
Set a Budget
Wedding jewelry comes in so many options, styles, and prices. It’s important to set a budget first so you can narrow down your choices.
If you’re tight on budget, focus on a few pieces like a pair of earrings and a necklace, then skip the bracelet. The good news is that when it comes to wedding jewelry, less is more.
You should also know that there are many low-budget options for jewelry. For example, sterling silver offers a ‘white gold’ effect while being inexpensive. You can also try low-priced semi-precious stones like topaz and garnet if you’re looking to add a pop of color to your wedding look.
Shop Early
If you shop early, you’ll have more time to look for better designs and of course, better deals. Planning a wedding can be challenging and often time-sensitive wedding errands take precedence. If you wait until the last few weeks or days, you’ll find yourself scrambling for the right pieces.
You might end up choosing the pieces you don’t like or are too expensive for your budget. If you plan to have customized jewelry, the earlier you want to shop. While many experienced jewellers in Perth offer custom pieces, they will need time to design and manufacture your preferred style.
Match The Neckline
One easy way to determine if the jewelry will complement your dress is to match it with your neckline.
Strapless dresses give you a bit of skin to showcase a stunning necklace that’s shorter in length, such as a choker.
Sweetheart dresses call for medium-length pendants of drop necklaces in simple designs, along with a pair of simple earrings.
V-necks go well with a drop necklace that echoes the shape of your neckline. If you’re skipping the necklace, consider wearing statement earrings.
Lastly, halter necklines don’t have much room for a necklace so it’s best to skip it and instead, balance your look with shimmering earrings and a stunning bracelet.
