Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, and you want everything to go well. There are so many decisions to make, from which wedding dress you will choose to what cake you will serve to what bridal jewelry you will wear. The jewelry experts at Na Hoku can help — with that last one at least. Keep reading for our top five tips for choosing the best bridal jewelry sets to complete your look so you can look and feel incredible on your big day.
5 Tips for Choosing Bridal Jewelry
When we say “bridal jewelry set,” we do not necessarily mean pieces that match or are sold together, but rather pieces that complement one another. You can certainly select jewelry pieces that all feature the same motif or design, but you do not have to. While it is generally advisable to ensure that all your wedding jewelry is made from the same metal (for example, White Gold), you should also feel free to choose a bracelet, necklace and earrings that “go” together without featuring the same exact design.
Wedding day jewelry often holds special meaning, and that is a beautiful thing. It might be a family heirloom, like your grandmother’s ring or brooch. It might be a piece that celebrates your heritage, like Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry, an important symbol in traditional Hawaiian culture. You might even choose jewelry that features a motif that is important to you, like ocean waves or a certain flower. No matter what it is or why it is meaningful to you, express yourself by integrating it into your look.
Speaking of meaningful jewelry, do not forget about the most important piece of jewelry you will be wearing on your wedding day: your wedding ring. Consider starting with your wedding band and building your jewelry look from there. For instance, if your wedding band is made from Yellow Gold and has a lovely Maile Lei pattern, choose other Yellow Gold pieces with a Maile pattern to complement your ring. This can be an easy way to create a lovely bridal jewelry set.
You have probably heard the old wedding day adage, “Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” Do not be shy about incorporating something blue — or pink, green or even black — into your bridal jewelry. Colorful gemstone inlay or a Pearl that shimmers with colorful overtones can make a gorgeously unexpected statement.
It is a good idea to carefully edit your wedding day jewelry. You do not want to wear too many pieces; they can look busy and be a distraction from your gown, hair and beautiful, happy face. For the same reason, you do not necessarily want the biggest jewels or the most elaborate pieces — especially if they are not made with the best quality. When it comes to bridal jewelry, less is often more. It is best to invest in a few exceptional pieces that are made with real Gold or Sterling Silver, precious gemstones and crafted by experts like the jewelers at Na Hoku.
