Precious Gemstone Jewelry For a Glamorous Wedding

Attending a wedding is always an exciting event, whether it’s a friend, coworker or family member getting hitched. Chances are, you’re carefully considering what to wear to the big occasion and how to style your hair, but have you thought about your accessories? Delicate necklaces are nice, as are dainty bracelets, but to really show the bridal party who’s the boss you’ll have to opt for a statement-making gemstone piece that reveals your fine taste regardless of your plus one. Not sure what you can pull off without taking away from the bride’s big day? Here are some chic suggestions that will get you acknowledged for your elegant sophistication.


A Dazzling Bangle Bracelet


Antique-Style Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet
Antique-style jewelry is all the rage, and it’s got a timeless quality that perfectly suits the eternal love that’s expressed and shared at a wedding. While you’ll likely want to match or complement the colors you’re wearing in your outfit, nothing beats an Art-Deco sapphire and diamond bangle bracelet, though you should select an emerald or ruby one if it flatters your fashion better. Keep your other jewelry modest, though you don’t need to go completely bare. A simple necklace or a few thin bracelets on the other arm would look lovely.






A Light-Catching Pendant Necklace

If you’re planning on wearing a dress with a princess, boat neck or deep-v neckline, you should definitely pair it with a sun-catching gemstone pendant. Choose whatever stone you love, and don’t worry too much about whether it matches. A great big bauble at the end of a chain is always the main event, but it won’t actually detract from the bride’s outfit since it’s tucked around your clavicle. Rose gold looks lovely on especially pale or darker complexions, while silver, platinum and white gold make good choices for olive tones.




A Sparkling Pair of Drop Earrings


Fancy Emerald Drop Earrings

There is no question what type of gemstone jewelry should be worn with a sweeping updo or elegant braided hairstyle: luxurious dangling earrings. Whether they’re sapphire, ruby, emerald or a more unexpected tanzanite or amethyst, drop earrings draw attention to your smiling face in the most graceful way. This option is least likely to garner any negative attention from the bride, in case you’re feeling a little squeamish about going bold. But it still sets you up for plentiful compliments and your pick of dance partners.





At the core, a wedding is about celebrating life and love, so why not celebrate yourself a little too? Dress up in something that makes you feel beautiful, enjoy an open bar and invest in some statement-making gemstone jewelry that makes you feel special, lovely and stylish, because you are.
