Jewelry

Hey ladies! What kind of jewelry are you wearing? I keep going back and forth between pearls, sparkly, and a mix of both. I'm driving myself crazy looking all over. My dress (in my sig) has a sparkly beading detail around the top. So I'm thinking a simple necklace and earrings with a fun bracelet. Maybe a little bit of both.

Anyways...what are you all doing? Pearls, sparkly, combo? Necklace, earrings, bracelet, combination?

i am in the same predicament...lol i have sparkle and pearl details in my dress... i want sparkle but then my sister said i could borrow my moms pearl necklace and that has sentimental value since my mom passed away 14 years ago!
i don't know if you can tell the details but this is the closest up pic i have!

I know!! I would say in case go sentimental. Or incorporate the pearls somewhere else. I love pearls but I feel like I want something special and fancier than simple pearls. But then I don't want to be tacky or gaudy either. Grrr....

p.s. LOVE your dress!! Very pretty!

thanks... i actually have the pearls on in the pic... i also feel like maybe the length of them isnt quite right! i dont know!

So....I'm considering this set from etsy. I'm sure I'll change my mind in an hour or so.

I like the pearls with your dress....maybe get an extender piece for the clasp to make it a little longer?

Thanks! I'm hoping I stick with it....but who knows. FI also thinks I should get "real" pearls and not the swarvoski ones. I say if it looks cute I'm in

i ordered these: ****disclaimer - not my pictures, they are off ebay****

So...I'm going very simple. This is my most recent favorite (also from etsy) and that may change again. I've been looking at all of my married friend's pics on FB to see their jewelry and get inspired (I know it's probably creepy....). I think this set with a glitzy statement bracelet.

I'm wearing a pearl necklace.  When my cousins and I were little, my grandmother started Add-A-Pearl necklaces for us.  We'd get a pearl for birthdays, Christmases, graduations, etc.  My necklace was finished when I graduated from college, and I love to wear it for special occasions.  Growing up, I always dreamed about wearing it on my wedding day!  It's so special, because each pearl symbolizes a bithday, holiday, achievement, etc.

I'm looking for a pearl bracelet that has a little bit of sparkle in it too.  Haven't found one yet.

Also, I'm going to get a hair comb to put in place of my veil when I take it off for the reception.  I saw one at the shop where I bought my dress, but the owner told em to hold off because they were getting more in soon
