Welcome back to The Velvet Runway and this feature about Essential Jewelry Pieces Every Bride Needs.
Your wedding day marks the first day of the rest of your life, so it only goes to reason that you’ll want to look your best and shine on this special occasion. Beyond your dress, makeup, and hairstyle, the right jewelry can also elevate your bridal look to extraordinary. Here are some must-have bridal jewelry pieces that will help you dazzle on your big day, featuring stunning selections that you can shop at Zadok Jewelers.
Essential Jewelry Pieces Every Bride Needs
1. An eye-catching necklace
The neckline of your wedding gown matters, and is a crucial factor in determining the perfect necklace to compliment your look. For example, a sweetheart neckline creates a heart-shaped outline across the bust, making it perfect for displaying a shorter necklace that rests gently on the collarbone, such as this greycable collar necklace in 18k white gold.
For a V-neck dress, opt for a necklace that mimics the shape of the neckline and draws the eye down.
Halter necklines already have a lot going on around the neck, so it’s best to keep your necklace simple or skip it altogether. If you still want some sparkle, consider long, dangling earrings instead, which complement the vertical lines of the halter.
The same principle applies to high-neck dresses; they work best if they are not paired with a necklace, as the dress itself already provides ample detail around the neck. Instead, focus on statement rose gold jewelry or a yellow gold link bracelet to add glamour.
2. Diamond Earrings: Studs or Drops?
Choosing the perfect pair of earrings depends on your hairstyle and face shape. For brides wearing an updo, diamond drop earrings from Zadok Jewelers will beautifully frame the face and draw attention to your best features. If you plan to wear your hair down or style it in soft waves, graduated diamond stud earrings are a timeless choice that won’t compete with your hair.!
Now, let’s talk about face shape. Most earring styles will compliment brides with oval faces, while brides with round faces can wear longer drop earrings that elongate the face like this alternating heart-shaped drop earrings.
If you have a square face, choose earrings with softer, rounded edges like this Fantina yellow gold hoops to balance out a strong jawline. To complement a wider forehead and a narrower chin, those with heart-shaped faces can wear teardrop diamond dangle earrings that add width at the jawline.
3. Bracelets: Bangles or Tennis Bracelets?
Thinking of adding a bracelet to your overall bridal look? Consider the sleeve length of your wedding dress. A full-sleeved gown might not need additional wrist adornment, but if you’re wearing a short-sleeved or sleeveless dress, a bracelet can serve as the perfect finishing touch. A classic tennis bracelet adds timeless sparkle while a sleek pave brown diamond bangle can offer a modern twist. Either of these options will elevate your ensemble, so consider your overall style and gown design when making your choice.
4. Something Blue
Incorporate the timeless tradition of “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” into your wedding attire with blue gemstone jewelry. This blue sapphire tennis bracelet not only satisfies this charming custom but also add a serene and calming vibe to your ensemble. These blue gemstones are believed to bring peace and tranquility, perfect for soothing any pre-wedding jitters.
5. Timeless Pearls
Pearls have been a bridal staple for generations, with its white color and luster symbolizing purity and elegance. However, modern pearl jewelry has evolved far beyond these traditional standards. Today, you can find contemporary pearl jewelry designs that feel fresh and stylish. Explore unique options and updated styles like this pair of convertible Akoya pearl drop earrings.
Final Thoughts : Essential Jewelry Pieces Every Bride Needs
Remember, balance is key to achieving a harmonious bridal look. For a highly embellished and detailed gown, opt for minimalist jewelry to avoid overdoing it. If your dress is a simple, minimalist style, a statement piece of jewelry can add something extra to your ensemble.
