Diamond Jewelry For The Wedding Day

Bridal jewelry should complement the dress and the ring: studs or drops for the ceremony, a tennis necklace or pendant for the neckline, and a bracelet to finish. Choosing between studs or drop earrings for a bride usually starts with the dress and the hair. Studs suit high necklines and updos, while drops add movement with open necklines and hair worn down. A tennis necklace is not too much for a wedding when the dress is strapless or V-neck, where it fills the neckline beautifully. Bridal jewelry need not match the engagement ring exactly. It should complement it, so match the metal and echo the shape where you can, and every piece will feel part of one look. Above all, choose pieces she will wear long after the wedding. The best bridal jewelry becomes part of her everyday collection, so the studs, pendant or bracelet she wears down the aisle will keep their place in her jewelry box, ready for the years that follow.
