Something Old, Something New - The Beauty of Bridal Jewellery

There are lots of reasons to follow tradition, but why not add to your family's collection of treasures by choosing beautiful new bridal jewellery?

Weddings are surrounded by tradition, good-luck symbols and family customs, and it’s a great opportunity to pass things on from one generation to another. A wedding is one of the few occasions where a wide circle of family and friends comes together to celebrate, and everyone wants it to be a great event. By choosing new, beautiful bridal jewellery, you can contribute not just to a perfect day, but to your family’s folklore.

Why Buy Bridal Jewellery?

With the old rhyme, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” ringing in the ears of many brides, it’s common for jewellery to be borrowed from friends, mothers or family members. There’s no reason why you can’t also invest in your own bridal jewellery, however, which can become part of your family’s collection, loaned by you to younger sisters, cousins or friends when their turn comes. In today’s market, there is such a lot of stunning jewellery available that you can choose exactly the right pieces for you, whether it’s a single pendant, a sparkling crystal tiara or contemporary dangling earrings. Think about:

Your dress – the bridal jewellery you choose should match your dress in terms of both general style and also the amount of decoration. Today’s brides can choose from a wide range of dress styles, from 1920s flapper dresses to traditional, full-skirted outfits. Whatever you choose, you need to choose your jewellery to match.
Hair – your hairstyle is an important part of your overall look, and it can also have an effect on the jewellery you choose to wear. If you have your hair up, there’s more potential for show-stopping earrings; if you’re hair’s down, it may be better to choose something small and subtle. In addition, you’ll be looking at jewelled combs, tiaras and headbands to accessorise your style.
Cost – weddings are expensive and you will need to keep an eye on your budget. If you’re borrowing jewellery to keep in step with tradition, why not just buy a single piece that’s new to you, but works with the bridal jewellery you’re borrowing. That will help you to keep costs under control, whilst ensuring you have all the embellishment you need to look beautiful on your big day.
