Your wedding day is something you’ll remember for a lifetime—few other moments in time will be more memorable, meaningful, or important. So, when it comes to the jewellery you wear on the big day, selecting pieces that hold significance to you now and for the many years ahead requires careful consideration. 

To make this process as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, we’ve created a guide to help you decide what jewellery to wear on your wedding day.  

Where to start

First thing’s first: you have a lot to choose from when it comes to wedding jewellery, and it can often be difficult to narrow down the few pieces that you end up wearing.  

Try to cull your options by setting some criteria—like sticking to one colour or aesthetic. This largely comes down to your own personal tastes and preferences. For instance, you might be a gold jewellery kind of girl that finds an all-pearl ensemble fits your vibe and matches your outfit—if so, perfect! Find your theme and stick to it. 

Personal touches 


Introducing an aspect of
personalisation is a really beautiful way to add a meaningful touch to your wedding day jewellery.  

There are all kinds of ways to personalise your wedding day jewellery, from matching with your mother to wearing your partner’s birthstone 

Another great way to add a personal touch is by incorporating engravable jewellery. You can commemorate the moment by engraving the date on a pendant or charm, or by adding your partner’s name or initials to a heart necklace. 

Keeping with tradition


Keeping with tradition means sticking with the ‘big four’
: something old, something new, something borrowed, and
something blue. Fortunately, jewellery can tick every one of these boxes for you. 

Choose quality 


Wedding
day jewellery is something that you can wear again and again, which is exactly why you need
bridal jewellery that’s built to last.
