There are a lot of different stones for bridal jewellery such as crystals
, diamantes and pearls and each material has so many options so it can be a bit hard to get it right.
Because the choice is difficult and youre unusually indecisive you may have left it to the last minute and now youre stressing.
If you're not sure whether pearl bridal jewellery is for you then answer the following questions:
Is there pearls on your wedding dress?
Do you have items of wedding jewellery that you want to wear on the day which have pearls in them?
Do you favour the luxurious sheen of pearls to the dazzle of crystals?
Do you want to achieve a classic timeless appearance?
If you've answered yes to the majority of the above questions then there's a good possibility that pearl bridal jewellery is right for you. So your next question should be: do you want real fresh water pearls or do you prefer the cost and the uniformity of faux pearls? If youve made the assumption that faux pearls are tacky, then consider glass pearls which are higher quality than their plastic counterparts.
The decision between faux pearls and real pearls with come down to the price as fresh water pearls are generally more expensive and the design of the wedding jewellery. If youre unsure whether the design you love has real or faux pearls then contact the shop and ask, if they are unable to give you an answer, shop somewhere else. Unfortunately you wont always get to make a decision in the pearl type used to create your bridal jewellery, this is especially true if your pearl wedding jewellery is mass manufactured. However if it is a handcrafted piece try asking the designer if they are willing to swap the pearls for you, many will if the jewellery is made to order.
Usually with wedding jewellery which is made with pearls you will get the standard choice of either white or ivory pearls, but there are lots of other colours of pearls available so if your jewellery is being handmade why dont you ask if they can swap the colour of the pearls so your bridesmaids can have jewellery that compliments their outfits.
So should you buy pearl wedding jewellery? If you've responded to the questions above then you'll already know.
