Tips For Buying The Most Appreciated Bridesmaid Jewelry Sets

By Cecile Ingram


When you purchase bridesmaid jewelry sets, a few ideas for selecting the best choices for your wedding party will be helpful. The intent is to find something that is the right style to accessorize their dresses and enhance their beauty. Choosing with care will allow them to have something they can wear for many years to come.

As much as you may feel tempted to purchase very formal, ornate pieces, the reality is that many in your group may not be able to wear them ever again in the future. Spending for quality hardly seems worth the effort if a one time outing is all you will get from it. Opt instead for lovely jewels that are not too opulent, and let the bride be the centerpiece.

Though the bride's attendants are often expected to pay for their dresses themselves, it can be very lovely to make gifts of their jewelry. When you do this, you will be able to select styles appropriate to the overall wedding day plans. Because designs number in the thousands, there will be many choices to see. You may decide to color coordinate their dresses and gem stones. Though the expectations of matching pieces has diminished in the fashion world, traditional viewpoints have not. Keeping in mind that flowers, lighting and the venue decor will all be factored into the overall impression, the perception of color choices will all be affected by these things. Clear crystals may be the safest choice overall.

Sets usually mean matching necklaces and earrings. Finding clip earrings can be difficult, as pierced ears are more current. When one of your maids does not have them, you may need to ask if a jeweler can convert the earrings from post to clip on. If you are shopping from inventory in a local store, this advice is easy to come by.

Another good alternative is to find or create sets that include bracelets and necklaces. This gives your attendants the option of wearing earrings that suit their personal needs. Coordinate the metals to be uniform, and keep each within a similar style, gemstone and color family.

Ultimately, the bride's dress will determine how formal the event will be. So any jewels worn by the wedding party traditionally should reflect the tone set by the bride's attire. This could mean that everyone will wear diamonds or pearls of some kind. Choosing cubic zirconium as a less expensive substitute is perfectly acceptable.

Other factors to consider once the main focus is on the gown, are things such as the time of day for the wedding and reception. Evening events, with a time of 6 PM or later, give the freedom to pull out the most opulent jewelry. Afternoon times require a bit of restraint in this area, particularly for everyone else except the bride.

Every person in your bridal party will certainly enjoy wearing bridesmaid jewelry sets to complement their attire. Whether they purchase for themselves or you surprise them with these gifts, you will honor each one. With some careful choices from among the thousands of possibilities, everyone will look wonderful on that special day.
