How to accessorize with jewellery

By Emma Staplehurst
Few brides take enough care when choosing their jewellery. How difficult can it be to choose a necklace, bracelet and pair of earrings? Think again!

Necklaces
Bridal necklaces can range from being a multi-strand choker to a simple crystal drop. So which is right for you? With so many brides wearing strapless dresses it is becoming more and more popular to choose fancy necklaces to prevent you from feeling too ‘bare’ around the neck. Chokers (picture 1) look stunning with a strapless dress, as do back jewels (picture 2).

If you are wearing a halterneck dress it is not necessary to wear a necklace, but if you have your heart set on it go for a simple pendant as in picture 3.

Illusion necklaces are also popular and these are made up of strands of transparent wire with scattered crystals pearls, creating an illusion effect. They suit most dress styles and are fantastic as you can custom the number of strands to suit how fancy you want it. If your dress has lots of details you really should refrain from having too much detail on your necklace. Something simple can be just as stunning and will not take anything away from your dress.

Earrings
Long ‘dangly’ earrings are very ‘now’ and look amazing (see picture 4) with most dresses and hairstyles. If you are not used to wearing long earrings however, you may prefer studs or small droplets to compliment your other jewellery.

Bracelets
Bracelets are generally chosen to match a necklace, as in picture 1 above. If you want something a bit different, however, how about a cuff? Cuffs are wide rigid bracelets that are worn quite tight around the wrist and can look very striking if worn as the main focus of your jewellery. Be careful not to mix too many different styles of jewellery, a lovely matching set can really finish off your outfit.
