Jewelry for the Bride

1. Something Blue

For many brides, adding “something blue” is an important part of their wedding day tradition. Blue gemstones like aquamarine, sapphire, blue topaz, and turquoise are ideal choices for a subtle touch of blue that radiates sophistication.

Highlighted Pieces for the Bride:

• Aquamarine and White Gold Studs: Delicate and timeless, these earrings are perfect for an elegant bridal look. For a calssic look, pair it with an aquamarine pendant necklace.

• Blue Topaz Stud Earrings: A deeper blue option, ideal for a classic yet bold statement.

• Turquoise and Amazonite Strand: For a bohemian or rustic fall wedding, a Turquoise nugget necklace strand adds a vibrant splash of color. More eclectic but equally beautiful conisder a necklace of half blue amazonite beads and half lustrous keshi pearls.

• Venetian Blue Glass and Gemstone Cameo Necklace: A unique choice that captures the romance of a bygone era, making it perfect for brides who love vintage-inspired style.

  
  

💎 A Personal Story: On my own wedding day, I wore a “something borrowed” that doubled as my “something blue” — a vintage aquamarine and platinum briolette necklace that almost looked like it glowed from within. It was breathtaking. I paired it with large cushion-shaped aquamarine white gold stud earrings. The color of aquamarine is an elevated light-to-medium blue that catches the light adding an ethereal quality to your bridal look.

2. Pearls for the Reception

For the reception, I switched out my borrowed aquamarine necklace for a strand of large white coin pearls, which perfectly complemented my couture dress handcrafted with appliquè lace and silk.. Brides often change their dresses between the ceremony and reception—so why not switch up your jewelry as well? Pearls are versatile and can easily take you from a formal ceremony to a lively celebration.

Try Wearing One of These Classic Pearl Pieces:

• Keshi Pearl and Baroque Pearl Necklace: A blend of texture and shape that’s both unique and timeless.

• Grey Tahitian Pearl Necklace with Diamond Clasp: The mysterious luster of Tahitian pearls adds a touch of drama and elegance for an evening celebration.

• Keshi Pearl Earrings: For the bride who wants to stand out.

Jewelry for the Mother of the Bride

1. Gold and Pearls ✨

Statement pearl earrings with South Sea or Baroque shapes are a classic choice for mothers of the bride. Adding diamond accents will bring a touch of sparkle and refinement that matches the celebratory mood. Choose warmer, golden hues that reflect the autumn palette.

2. Pearl Necklaces in Autumnal Hues 🍁

Necklaces in richer tones such as burnt sienna, golden pearls, bronze strands, and pastels with pops of lavender and jade are perfect for a fall wedding. They bring warmth and depth, complementing the mother of the bride’s attire and adding elegance without overwhelming the overall look.

Try Wearing One of These Gold, South Sea, or Baroque Pearl Earrings:

💎 Taking Inspiration from My Mom: My mother wore a statement golden brooch, pearl earrings, a multi-strand bronze necklace, and a vintage gold coiled Turbogas bracelet on my wedding day. She was glowing, and her jewelry tied in perfectly with the fall colors, while still standing out as unique and stylish.

Jewelry for Bridesmaids

1. Leaf-Inspired Designs 🍂

Gold or rose gold leaf-inspired necklaces and earrings capture the essence of fall and complement the season’s colors beautifully. Choose designs that incorporate autumnal-colored gemstones like green tourmaline, yellow citrine, and fiery orange garnet for a cohesive, nature-inspired look.

💎 A Personal Story: I made leaf inspired pendants for my bridesmaid's to wear on my wedding day with pear shaped green tourmaline's and yellow/orange citrine's. They are versatile enough to wear to an occasion or mixed in with your everyday jewelry neck stack. "It looks so good stacked with my other necklaces. Never taking it off now!"- Daniela

2. Bridesmaid Gift Idea 🎁

Consider gifting your bridesmaids personalized key charms that match your wedding colors or feature their birthstones. A thoughtful idea is to include each bridesmaid’s birthstone in a charm necklace, or if you have a small bridal party, create a necklace with all of your birthstones as a symbol of your close friendship. This is a gift they’ll cherish forever and could even become a future heirloom.

Jewelry for the Groom and Groomsmen

The groom and groomsmen deserve to feel stylish and refined on the big day too! Handcrafted cufflinks made from silver and vibrant gemstones are a wonderful way to add a pop of color and a personal touch to their wedding attire. Whether the goal is to subtly tie into the wedding color palette or to honor a sentimental tradition, these cufflinks are the perfect finishing touch.

Who says the “something blue” tradition is just for the bride? Our Satin Finish Aquamarine Cufflinks are the ideal way for the groom to incorporate this tradition into his look. The soft, luminous blue of the aquamarine is elegant and understated, adding a hint of color to a formal suit or tuxedo.

Personalization adds a meaningful touch that they can cherish long after the wedding day. These cufflinks are versatile enough for everyday wear, making them the perfect memento of your celebration.
