When you’re planning your wedding look, a lot of thought goes into finding the gown, but what about your wedding jewelry? Your wedding gown you will likely only wear once, and let’s be real, your kids won’t want to wear it. But your jewelry, that you can pass down from generation to generation–no one says no to diamonds. So, before you pick up a pair of chandelier earrings from your local department store, consider investing in some heirloom pieces that will last you a lifetime and more. We know, planning a wedding costs a pretty penny and you probably don’t have a huge budget left for your wedding jewels, but quality doesn’t have to break the bank. Grown Brilliance has an incredible selection of fine jewelry in all of your favorite settings from yellow gold to platinum, all decked out in real diamonds for a fraction of the cost of what you would pay at some of the other leading fine jewelers. And just wait till you see these babies sparkle, you won’t want to take them off!
You definitely want to have your gown picked out before you start shopping for bridal jewelry. The style and neckline will dictate the rest of your wedding ensemble. For instance, if your gown has a high neck, go for a larger statement earring and skip the necklace. Or, if you’re going to rock a plunging neckline, layer a few longer necklaces to draw the eye to your stunning décolletage. In essence, figure out what parts of your body and your gown you would like to draw attention to and highlight those with a little bling.
While trends can be fun to play with, the key to making sure your jewelry stands the test of time is to invest in timeless pieces. In addition to their fun fashion-forward options, Grown Brilliance has collections of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and rings that will never go out of style. Here are a few of our fave classics that will remind you exactly why diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
No matter what your gown looks like, you can’t go wrong with a classic pair of studs. Grown Brilliance has a bunch of solitaire options in a variety of shapes…plus, you get to choose the carat size! When it comes to diamonds, we always say, the bigger, the better. They also have halo options and multi-stone clusters that would add a wow factor to any look.
Ranging from delicate dangles to straight-up stunners, Grown Brilliance has page after page of insanely beautiful earring options. If you’re going for that modern minimalist look, try a simple dangle. Or, if your gown is strapless and you want your jewelry to really make a statement, go for a drop earring with a big teardrop diamond finalé.
Simple and stunning, it’s no wonder that these babies never go out of style. You may think, if you’ve seen one tennis necklace, you’ve seen them all, but think again! Grown Brilliance offers tennis bracelets and necklaces in a variety of cuts and carats so you can find the set that complements your ring perfectly. If your gown is heavily beaded or you’re just not into super ornate jewelry but still want to sparkle, then the tennis collection is for you!
If you’re looking for something simple to add a little bit of bling to your look without stealing the show, then a pendant necklace is the way to go. Whether you’re drawn to a solitaire or a cluster pendant, go with the same cut and shape as your engagement ring to keep the look cohesive.
Well, there you have it, your grandkids can thank us later. Now all that’s left is to invest in that closet remodel you’ve been dreaming of and get a custom fit velvet-lined drawer for your heirloom pieces.
