Bridesmaids Jewelry???

I wanted to get my maid of honor a unique necklace and earrings set. The dress is very simple so I was looking for something that would stand out. Does anyone have any suggestions at places I could look for this?

  • Etsy would be a good place to start.

    Please don't make these her gift, though. Anything you are requiring your BMs to wear during the wedding is simply part of their wedding attire. You should still get her something else as her thank-you gift.

  • It might take a while, but I've found unique jewelry all over, Macy's, Penney's, Parisian, Lord & Taylor.

    I'd also recommend you find something else as well. I made my BM jewelry (pics in bio under DIY), plus am putting together bags with things like stationery, personal items.
  • Macy's is always good. I found my BM's necklaces there. Ann Taylor also has really unique jewelry.
     
    I on the other hand see this as perfectly fine to give this as her gift if that was also your intention. I don't know if it's a regional thing, but where I live, most weddings you hear about or are in your jewelry is the gift.

  • Jewelery as a gift is a great idea, but not if your only buying it for the wedding attire, especially with something unique that I assume your trying to match to the dresses make sure that this is something they can wear again. I would also suggest another gift.
  • I only have one bridesmaid since it is a very small wedding. I planned on buying her a very nice necklace that she would want to wear again. I planned on finding something withing the $100-$200 price range. Would I still need to buy her something else as well?
  • A gift should come without strings attached, so if you buy it with the intention of her wearing it in your wedding, no, it's not a gift, no matter how much you spend on it.  If a nice set of jewelry is something you'd be happy to give her for Christmas or a birthday, then it's fine, as long as you don't stipulate that it's meant to wear in the wedding.  But remember, not all women love jewelry, so be sure she's the type to actually wear necklaces regularly before you shell out for one.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • maesie19 I think it's fien as long as you do not require her to wear it on the wedding (and cost should not factor in wether or not it is a gift)
  • I think it's ok if it's something she would normally want and want to wear to say please wear it for the wedding.  The gift is a representation of your thanks to her for being there on your special day so it seems nice to me for her to wear it in the actual wedding.
  • Hi - I design beautiful necklaces made of Swarovski crystal gemstones.  They a perfect accent for simple gowns.  You can see a sample of my work at 

    I can design something as ornate or simple as you like, work within your budget, and custom coordinate the neckpiece with the dress color and style.

    I hope this helps!

    Good luck!
