Advice For Buying The Most Appreciated Bridesmaid Jewelry Sets

By Cecile Ingram


Buying the perfect bridesmaid jewelry sets can take a bit of thought. You will want to give a gift that your attendants will cherish and be able to use again and again. A set can be very formal, so you should choose carefully.

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.

In the event that your decision is to give your bridal party their jewelry, then keep in mind that price, style and quality are the three most important factors. The quality and style must be reflective of your bridal dress. Your price will, of course, depend on the amount you have budgeted for this expense. Think about their dresses and coordinate the jewels with the fabric color. Keep in mind the flowers for the event and also any special lighting. These things are all part of the overall effect you wish to create.

Most sets include a necklace and earrings. Often, the earrings are for pierced ears, which is a problem when a member of the wedding party doesn't have them. Clip earrings are also difficult to find. You can have a jeweler convert the earrings to clip style in some cases. Ask the jeweler for recommendations about which earrings are best to convert, using the store's available inventory to save time and trouble.

Consider making up your own collection by pairing necklaces and bracelets together for the women whose ears are not pierced. This way, you can have a beautiful set for everyone, even though the preselected set doesn't have exactly what you like. Remember that it is now acceptable to wear pieces that do not match, as long as they are obviously coordinated fashionably.

Use the bridal gown as the first focal point. It should set the tone for formality. All jewels adorning the bridal attendants should be in keeping with the level set by the bride. Tradition calls for pearls or even diamonds for this once in a lifetime day. But, when the budget will not allow this, then substituting lovely cubic zirconium is a completely acceptable option.

Once the wedding gown sets the overall tone, then considering the time of day the wedding will take place should be factored in to the decisions. When the time is in the evening, then the more opulent the jewelry may be. Those who will have an afternoon marriage coupled with a reception after 6:00 PM may choose the level of formality for the jewels using the bride's as a starting point.

Buying bridesmaid jewelry sets will take some time. Helping each in the bridal party wear accessories that show your appreciation of them is best. When you decide to give them, buy the best quality to let them know you honor them.
