Jewelry for me, the bride

Diamond1031 · February 2012

Ladies I need help with jewelry for my wedding day. I am more of a diamond girl/cz/crystal girl, but willing to do pearls too and can't seem to find anything that sparks my interest. Here is a link to my dress and I'm going to have my hair up. I'm petite and don't want anything too big. I'm thinking of a necklace, earrings and a stretch bracelet. I'm looking for help from the board. I would say my budget is under $100.

I think because of the bodice, you're better off with something in the diamond crystal cz range, instead of pearls. Some of that is because of a family supersition against pearls at weddings, so grain of salt it (I do like pearls though). Are you going to put anything in your hair? If you do something like a headband, it might make sense to do smaller jewelery, but if not, I'd sparkle that up.

Since you have such an intricate bodice, I'd go with a really understated, but kinda sparkley necklace, like this

or this

and I'd pair it with more intricate, but not too big, earrings, like one of these

If you want a really cheap bracelet, Claire's has a few sparkly ones that are inexpensive

Personally, I would let the bodice of the dress shine, and accent it only with a sparkly CZ or rhinestone bracelet and some small chandelier earrings. I think the necklace distracts a bit from the details of the dress. I also believe that displaying the collarbone is very sensual, yet elegant.
