Bridal jewellery will be bolder this year! Perhaps this reflects the new wave of brides who want to personalise their look or simply just be unique; by incorporating traditional elegance with their own modern flair.
Here is the “glam list” for this year:
Bold Colour – Modern brides are now exploring coloured gemstones and crystals instead of the traditional clear crystals, diamonds and pearls. Some brides are even opting to match their jewellery with the colour of their bridesmaids’ dresses, for example sets in sapphire, turquoise, onyx, ruby and emerald. Some brides even choose to match jewellery to their shoes, if they have chosen to wear a coloured shoe!
A new spin on classic pearls – Brides who love pearls are now going a fresher route and choosing pearls in lovely blush colours, black, grey or even cocoa-coloured.
Statement Necklaces – Stylish “bib” necklaces are all the rage this year or for those who think those are too daring – long, layered necklaces or chunky “torsade” necklaces (multiple strands of pearls or beads, twisted and held together with a clasp) can also be just as dramatic. These types of necklaces are best for simpler wedding gowns and also work especially well for sleek strapless-styled dresses.
Wrist Wear- There is still the trend of statement cuffs (filigree, studded or solid) as well as stacks of varied bangles, for example pearl bangles interspersed with diamond or rhinestone bangles. Bracelets featuring a single dangling charm are also in vogue.
Earrings – Chandelier and shoulder sweeping earrings are still “in,” particularly those that are in the art deco style.
Finger candy – apart from the engagement ring, trendy brides are now wearing cocktail rings, which feature large real or faux gemstones.
Head Gear - The shorter, face framing “bird cage veil” will be all the rage this year. Pill-box hats were seen on Oscar de la Renta’s runway and various types of hats were also used by Carolina Herrera. Ribbon headbands or headbands that incorporate plumes and crystals will also be popular. Daring brides can even opt for mini top hats!
Gloves - Short gloves, especially in black, will also make a come-back this year.
Eco-friendly jewellery – There is now greater interest from brides about jewellery that is ethically-mined, recycled or hand-crafted.
