Bridesmaids Jewelry-Black Dresses

cdipaolo

Does anybody have any recomendation for jewelry to go with black bridesmaids. Possibly sets as Bridesmaids Gifts. If you can provide any links, I would greatly appreciate it.

I would try Macy's - I saw some sets there today that were pretty well-priced and could probably be worn again if you go with something plain. And ditto PP - maybe ask first if they have something that's suitable in their possession already. That way, if they do, you could put that money toward another personal gift for them and it won't go to waste if they only wind up wearing the jewelry for your wedding and then putting it in a drawer to collect dust, if it's not their style.

I'm letting them wear something they already own, and as Stagemanager already stated, jewelry for YOUR wedding is not a gift.

If you're giving the BMs jewelry as their only gift, please make sure that they're not required to wear it for the wedding and also make sure that it's the BMs style.You can find great jewelry at department stores, Etsy and Overstock among others.  However make sure that what you're buying fits the BM more than it fits your wedding.  FWIW, silver or gold or pearls are universally flattering and they may be the taste of your BMs.

I seem to be on the other side of the fence on this one as I bought my BM's all the same jewelry to wear.  I got all my stuff here:http://www.greatdaybridal.comI think pearls always look nice with a black dress or you could do either a clear/white/ivory illusion set.  Depends on the neckline of the dress.

Jewellery to be worn at your wedding is not a gift. Just let them wear what they want. Your wedding will not implode. I promise. Also, pretty much everything goes with black.

Cdipaolo, Funny thing about the advise on these forums, and what happens in reality....sometimes the two don't meet. I have been a bridesmaid 4 times, and each time I have received jewelry or a pashmina as my gift. (Which I was to wear the day of the wedding)While the answers on this forum scream "do not give jewelry as a gift"...it is really up to you to decide.  One bride gave us jewelry (which I still wear), and then after the wedding gave us a picture frame with our group picture in it. I really loved it! No bridesmaid will feel slighted for not receiving a $50 gift certificate to their favorite spa. If you feel the need to add something else, maybe you can buy a Trader Joe (if you have it) bottle of wine $3 and put the jewelry around the bottle!With that....here is a favorite picture of a black dress with black pearls and ribbon. I was debating this myself http://www.jlmcouture.com/Lazaro/Bridesmaid/Additional/Style-3699You could get a jeweler to make it or find some online...example:http://www.topearl.com/en59-double-78mm-black-white-pearl-necklace-discount-prices-p-4756.html

Funny thing about the advise on these forums, and what happens in reality....sometimes the two don't meet.And because something is practiced in reality does not mean that the practice should be reinforced or duplicated.Jewelry can be a lovely gift - however it should be just that - a gift.  If it has any kind of strings attached such as a required use for the wedding then it's not a gift - it's part of their wedding attire.

Thanks AdelaC, I have been a bridesmaid 4 time as well and gotten jewelry as a gift twice. I think its nice that the brides gave us it so we wouldn't have to spend more money. Thanks for your links and suggestions too!!!!!
