How to choose the perfect wedding jewellery
Are you preparing for an upcoming wedding? Whether you're the bride, a bridesmaid, or a witness, selecting the right accessories is essential to enhance your ensemble. Let's explore how to choose the perfect wedding jewellery to complement your role and style. Planning a wedding involves many decisions, and choosing your jewellery is a significant one. As the bride, every detail matters, including your accessories. If you and your partner haven't selected your unique wedding rings yet, it's time. Your rings set the tone for your overall look. Consider rings that reflect your personal style and can be coordinated with your other jewellery pieces.

TIP MIALIS: If you're not yet wearing an engagement ring, consider a matching set of engagement and wedding rings. These complementary pieces are designed to look harmonious together, making your choice effortless.
Considerations for choosing bridal jewellery
Dress style and hairstyle: Simple dresses can be paired with more elaborate jewellery, while ornate gowns may be best complemented by minimalist pieces. An updo hairstyle allows for statement earrings, whereas loose hair hairstyle might call for more delicate options.
Colour of metal: White gold, platinum, or silver suit cooler tones, offering a clean and subtle look. Yellow gold pairs beautifully with warmer shades like ivory, creating a gentle yet luxurious contrast. Rose gold adds a romantic touch, especially when matched with champagne hues.
Personal style: Choose jewellery that aligns with your everyday style to ensure you'll cherish and wear these pieces beyond your wedding day. It's important that your wedding jewellery feels authentic to you.

Timeless choices: Diamonds and Pearls
For timeless elegance, diamonds and pearls are classic choices that never go out of style. Diamonds offer a shining, luxurious appeal, while pearls exude charm and delicate sophistication. These pieces not only make a statement on your wedding day but can also be treasured for years to come.
TIP MIALIS: Consider jewellery featuring opals or moonstones for their subtle, milky hues. For those interested in ethical luxury, lab-grown diamonds or moissanites are excellent alternatives.
Choosing the right pieces: Earrings, Necklaces, and Bracelets
Earrings
Earrings are often the first jewellery piece noticed. If your dress is simple, feel free to choose sparkling dangle earrings. For more intricate gowns, consider small pearls or classic studs to subtly enhance your features. And you can be self confident.
Necklaces
The neckline of your dress should guide your necklace choice.
V-Neck: A longer pendant necklace complements this style beautifully.
Round, boat, or sweetheart necklines: A shorter chain with a single gemstone offers a minimalist yet captivating look.
Embellished bodices: If your dress features a detailed bodice or neckline, you may decide not to wear a necklace altogether to avoid overwhelming your look.
Bracelets
A delicate bracelet can be a subtle accessory. A fine chain with a small gemstone adds elegance, particularly if your dress has short or no sleeves. Personalised jewellery, perhaps engraved with your wedding date or partner's initials, add a meaningful touch.

Embracing Tradition
You're likely familiar with the tradition: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Jewellery can beautifully embody these elements. A pearl necklace passed down from your mother or a bracelet borrowed from a friend carries sentimental value. For your "something new" or "something blue," consider pieces featuring aquamarine. Or sapphire, reminiscent of the jewellery worn by Princess Diana and later by Princess Kate.

Bridesmaids' Jewellery full of colours
Traditionally, bridesmaids were young girls in white dresses assisting the bride. However, modern weddings often feature adult bridesmaids who play a significant role in the celebration. These bridesmaids usually wear dresses in the main colour of the wedding. To create a harmonious look, think about matching their jewellery as well. Coloured gemstone jewellery can be a subtle yet symbolic way to unify your bridal party.
Pastel-coloured dresses pair well with peridot, blue topaz, or unique shaped sapphires. For a wedding with a eucalyptus theme, moss agate jewellery complements the aesthetic beautifully. In 2025, the trending colour "Mocha Mousse" pairs elegantly with jewellery featuring brown lab-grown diamonds.

Jewellery for the witness and mothers
Don't forget to show appreciation to your maid of honour, who often serves as the bride's right hand. A beautiful piece of jewellery can be a heartfelt thank you for the support. Delicate earrings, a minimalist necklace, or a subtle bracelet make elegant and tasteful gifts. Similarly, a sparkling piece of jewellery can be a cherished gift for both your mother and your partner's mother.
Jewellery that accompanies you through life
Wedding jewellery isn't an accessory just for one day; it carries stories, emotions, and memories. Choose pieces that resonate with you, not only for your special day but for the many chapters in you life.
