subject: Accessorizing Bridal Party Jewelry On A Budget [print this page] If you are planning a wedding and have yet to choose the perfect gift for your bridal party, consider the possibility of a classic jewelry design that can be worn on your special day and beyond. The best way to accomplish this is by purchasing a fashionable accessory that will outlast the current trends. Several examples include jewelry featuring either pearls or cubic zirconia.
Pearl Jewelry. In its genuine form, a pearl is a lustrous gem commonly found in the ocean. The genuine gem can be quite expensive, depending on its size, shape and quality. If you are looking for a more affordable alternative to genuine pearls, you may wish to consider a simulated or glass pearl. Both alternatives look genuine, but are manmade or created and are, therefore, far less expensive. Some examples of pearl jewelry that would make terrific bridal party gifts include stud or dangle earrings and a necklace or pendant.
Cubic Zirconia Jewelry. This breathtaking gemstone is created to resemble a flawless, eye clean diamond. Because it is a created stone, it is far less expensive for the customer. Cubic zirconia jewelry, because of its affordability, beauty and flawlessness, is a perfect jewelry gift for those in your bridal party. Although cubic zirconia is available in a variety of colors, one of the most popular is that of the clear stone.
The colorless variety makes for easy wardrobe coordination and will easily transition from the office to evening with just a simple change of clothing. Some popular examples of cubic zirconia jewelry that would make a wonderful gift for those in your wedding party include stud earrings (round or princess cut) and a solitaire pendant.
Whether it be your Maid of Honor or Bridesmaids, the women that you invite to celebrate your wedding day are certain to hold a special place in your life and in your heart. When it comes to choosing a gift to show them how much you appreciate their participation and support, it's a good idea to choose a piece of jewelry that they can enjoy for years to come. Each time she wears the jewelry that you gave her, she will remember your wedding and how much she cherished being a part of your special day.
When choosing a metal for your jewelry gift, you may wish to invest in a precious metal that will be both strong and durable. Sterling silver is one precious metal that offers both of these characteristics, along with affordability. When compared with the price of gold, sterling silver is much less expensive and looks very similar to platinum and white gold in its coloration.
In closing, a final thought to choosing the perfect affordable jewelry gift for your bridal party, it's a good idea to look for one single gift that each woman will enjoy. If you decide to purchase round cubic zirconia earrings, give this same gift to each in your bridal party. If, on the other hand, you opt for a pearl necklace, make sure that everyone receives a pearl necklace. This will allow not only for everyone to coordinate, but also prevent any confusion in gift giving.
