Need Help - BM Jewelry - PIP

SKP82

I think I would like to buy the jewelry for my BMs (in addition to the "my favorite products" and cosmetic bag idea).  I have found several things on Etsy that I think are amazing, but I'm having a hard time finding earrings and necklaces from a single seller that I like.  I think I'd like for all the jewelry to have the same "feel," while being unique for each girl.

Anyway, my question is about length of necklace for the dresses.  These are the dresses:



I thought a longer necklace would look better than a shorter necklace.  For example, I think this would be too short:



Here are some earring ideas I'm toying with:







What are your thoughts on these? 

And, while we're at it, do you think an earring/necklace combo or an earring/bracelet combo would be better with this dress?  I'm currently leaning towards earring/necklace.

TIA!

ETA:  I know E would say that it's a faux pas to give your BMs gifts to wear at the wedding, but is this okay since I am gifting something else as well?

Thanks, Elle.  I was looking forward to your input.

I pretty much agree with everything Elle said . . . longer necklace and I love all those earrings.  I also thing it's completely fine to give your BMs jewelry for the wedding ESPECIALLY because you're giving them something else.

And I ADORE those dresses.  Who makes them?

Also, what do you girls think about giving jewelry for a gift but it's NOT meant for the wedding?

I think it's more than ok to give them jewelry for the wedding, especially since you're planning to give them additional things. Personally I would even be happy with just the jewelry, despite what E has to say about it!

I agree that the necklace should be a little longer than the one pictured. Something like an 18" chain usually hangs at a good moderate length for most people, depending on pendant size.

I really love the last pair of earrings you posted. Who is the seller?

Meg - I'm a jewelry hoar, so I'm quite happy to receive sparklies whatever the occasion... I'm not impartial enough to answer that one in a helpful way

It's totally ok to give your BM wedding jewelry if you also gift them something else. Maybe give them to them at separate times? BM gifts at the rehearsal dinner, jewelry the morning of the wedding?

I LOVE the third set of earrings. Love them. 

I agree with everyone who said a slightly longer necklace would be better. If I had to vote, I'd vote for earrings/bracelet, though. Not earrings/necklace. But that's only because I rarely wear necklaces.

I love those earrings, too!

I'm giving mine picture frames, with the promise to send them pics from the wedding when they are ready. I'll probably give this at the rehearsal dinner. And I made them pearl bead necklaces which I will give the morning of the wedding.
