Layered Necklaces and Chokers
Layered necklaces and chokers are trends that never go out of style. Nothing beats the elegance and class of the perfect curated necklace look. To execute the perfect ensemble there are many things to consider.
You should choose a variety of different types of chains, we have many to choose from such as curb chains, anchor chains, box chains and diamond cut chains. You should have at least two different types of chain that are different gauges. Layers look the best when there is a variety between chunky and delicate chains.
The necklaces should be different lengths. Start with a choker chain, and then layer longer, ensuring that none of the necklaces are the same length. You can layer anywhere upwards from two different chains, although between three to five necklaces at once is the optimal choice. The best-layered ensembles also consist of a variety of plain chains, as well as pendants.
Which metals you choose is entirely up to you! Some choose to wear the same colour across all of their jewellery, while it is also widely accepted to mix and match your silver necklaces, white gold necklaces and yellow gold necklaces!

Mesmerising Gemstone Rings
Gemstone rings have been floating around for many years now, and it is safe to say that this is a trend that is here to stay. These rings are an alternative to the traditional diamond ring that, while still beloved by many, lacks individuality and personal expression. Hence, for those looking to break the rules and step outside the box, a gemstone engagement ring is a great idea.
There are many aspects to consider when choosing an alternative engagement ring. From the more fun choices like shape, setting and colour to the harsh realities of gemstone functions and how durable they are. Stones such as sapphire, emerald and rubies are rated high in terms of hardness, and are suitable for everyday wear. Stones such as garnet is less durable compared to morganite and aquamarines. They can still be used, however, more care is needed to maintain the integrity of the rings.

Pearl Pieces
Revitalise vintage favourites with some glorious pearl jewellery to really elevate your wedding look. Pearls are one of the few gemstones created by a living creature. They form inside oysters and mussels, which is why they’re known as organic gems. While natural pearls are extremely rare, almost all pearls today are cultured, meaning they’re grown with a little help from pearl farmers. Unlike diamonds, rubies and emeralds, pearls don’t need to be cut or faceted. Their soft, glowing lustre comes straight from nature. And while perfectly round pearls are the most prized, pearls also come in drop, oval and baroque shapes, so every piece has its own character.
Pearls can be found in a range of different colours from white, pink to even black variations - and each pearl will have a unique hue, which is partly what makes them so special.
Often marketed as feminine jewellery that is tied to weddings, fertility and love, they are the perfect gem to include in your bridal outfit. They tie in perfectly to a white wedding dress and complement diamonds exquisitely. For a vintage aesthetic that is timeless, sophisticated and classic, then look no further than some beautiful pearl pieces such as pearl necklaces, pearl bracelets or even a gorgeous pair of pearl earrings.

Classic Tennis Bracelets
Tennis bracelets have been around for a long time, however, they are currently massively trending! A tennis bracelet is synonymous with an eternity strand of diamonds that sit delicately on the wrist. The term came about when tennis star Chris Evert lost her strings of diamonds during a highly competitive match in the 1987 US Open, as anyone would, Evert requested that they pause the game so that she could collect her precious jewels - from then on, the infamous tennis bracelet has been tied to Evert.
Regardless of how they got their name, they remain a classic piece with maximum sparkle. Nothing beats the simplicity of a sea of diamonds and diamond jewellery. Besides that, they are especially versatile and can be paired with just about anything. If you have beads in your wedding dress, then a tennis bracelet is a perfect way to complement your look.

FAQs
What jewellery should a bride wear on her wedding day?
Most brides wear three to four key pieces: earrings, a necklace or pendant, a bracelet, and their engagement and wedding rings. Choose one statement piece, such as drop earrings or a tennis bracelet, and keep the rest simple so your jewellery complements your dress rather than competing with it.
What are the biggest bridal jewellery trends right now?
Popular bridal jewellery trends include modern pearls, diamond tennis bracelets, layered fine chains, celestial motifs and natural gemstones for “something blue”. Yellow gold is also rising in popularity, and lab-grown diamonds are making diamond tennis bracelets and studs more accessible for couples on a budget.
Should my wedding jewellery match my engagement ring?
Your wedding jewellery doesn’t have to match exactly, but matching the metal colour creates a cohesive look. For example, choose yellow gold earrings and bracelets if your engagement ring is yellow gold. Mixing metals is also on trend. Just repeat each metal at least twice so it looks intentional.
Should I wear gold or silver jewellery with a white wedding dress?
Both work well with white. Silver, white gold and platinum give a crisp, classic look and suit pure white or cool-toned dresses. Yellow and rose gold add warmth and look beautiful with ivory, champagne or blush dresses. Choose based on your dress tone, skin tone and the metal of your engagement ring.
