On the auspicious day of your wedding, everything should be perfect, from your outfits to the jewellery itself. Plan ahead to make sure everything works together to enhance your appearance on your special day. Remember, you’ll be looking at the wedding photographs for years to come and you want to be happy with what you see.

Here are a few things you must consider when choosing your wedding jewelry:

Color of gown – You might not realize how many shades of white there are until you search for a wedding gown. If your dress is pure white, then white pearls or silver jewelry are a good option. If your dress is Ivory, then gold or ivory pearls will look better.

Diamonds are always a classic choice for weddings and will complement any color or style of gown. But because diamonds are such an elegant choice, they can be understated and still make an impact. You don’t want to overdo with diamonds.

Pearls have always been popular for weddings. There are pink pearls as well as other unusual colors. There are also tear drop shaped pearls. Be sure you spend some time shopping and evaluate all your options.

Type of wedding – Are you having a formal wedding? A semi-formal? A casual beach wedding? This makes a huge difference in the choice of gown and jewelry you’ll wear. You don’t want a casual dress with a huge diamond necklace. But there are many styles of jewelry that will create a more casual look.

Even if you decide to have a unique Medieval or Victorian wedding you can still find the appropriate vintage style jewelry to compliment your style.

Style of gown – A more traditional style of gown calls for more traditional jewelry. Pearls can be the perfect accessory to a classic gown. A more elegant gown might need diamonds.

Your hairstyle – If you’re wearing your hair pulled up, it makes your choice of earrings even more important. Sparkling diamond earrings will frame your face as will any elegant drop earrings.

If you’ve ever dreamed of wearing a tiara, then your wedding day is the time to make that happen. There are a variety of tiaras from simple to elaborate, but make sure it complements both your hairstyle and your gown. When wearing a tiara it’s good to tone down the earrings. An elaborate tiara with long dangling earrings can be too much of a good thing.

Choosing a veil means you’ll probably want to stick with simple stud earrings. You don’t want to risk your earrings and veil tangling.

Neckline of gown – Strapless gowns are popular now. Choose a necklace that shows the beauty of your shoulders and neck without being distracting. Chokers also work for this type of neckline.

If you choose a high neckline you’ll want to concentrate on your earrings instead of a necklace.

When your dress has beaded straps a simple necklace might look better.

Bracelets can be added to almost any type of gown as long as they match the style and coloring of the dress. But if you’re wearing a dress with capped sleeves the bracelets are even more important. Tennis bracelets are still a popular choice for weddings.

Budget – For some people, money isn’t a consideration. But most people have to work within a set budget. Be sure to include a large enough amount for you wedding jewellery that you’ll be happy with your options.

Your own style and personality – No matter how beautiful a piece of jewelry is, it must also reflect you and your personal style. Don’t be pushed into wearing something you don’t feel comfortable in or feel good about wearing. This is your day. You make all the choices.

Antique jewelry means old-fashioned jewelry. To term it ‘antique’, the jewelry must be at least 70 years old. It could refer to jewels handed down from generation to generation, and it also includes jewelry with a historic value. They are treasured not just for the money value. Rather, they are relics from a memorable past.

These antique jewelry pieces come to you through antique jewelry auctions, fairs and sales that are frequented by the jewelers to bring you pieces of extraordinary charm and elegance. Some of the jewelers also specify the age of the antique jewelry on display. For instance, some may claim to keep pieces from 1900 to 1950 (Edwardian, art deco and retro jewelry), and some may have heirloom pieces that are at least two centuries old (late Georgian or Victorian jewelry)!

Shopping for antique jewelry has an added advantage. It acquaints you to the history and culture of the era to which it belongs. You would be interested to know how the fashion of wearing delicate dresses in the Georgian era favored the use of small, light jewelry. Pendants with miniature paintings of loved ones were also prevalent in the late-Georgian era. In a similar way, jewelry belonging to each era is a reflection of the changing fashions. So, with every piece of antique jewelry, you also buy memories of a long lost era.
