SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL COLORS AND SHAPES

Clear Crystal beaded necklaces, especially if pearls are incorporated, with a touch of
rhinestone, would be the ultimate. Crystals come in various shapes, bicone and round,
clear and AB coated in the same size as the pearls
A choker, at 14-16 inches, is called the most classic and versatile necklace a woman can
own. It goes with just about any gown neckline and hugs the middle of the neck. It looks
best with plunging or v-necks, boat necks or off the shoulder gowns and if you choose to
wear your hair up.
Princess length is 17-19 inches and goes well with high and very low necklines. Brides
should probably not go much longer than princess length to complement their gowns.
Opera length strand, 28-34 inches, can be doubled to make a lovely two-strand choker.
Chain and Pendant Necklace is another option.

Earrings
Do a trial earring run: try on various earrings and see which look best with your gown’s
neckline and the hairstyle you plan to wear on wedding day. You want to make sure that
your earrings show up. Drop pearls and pearls with some rhinestone is wonderful for
wedding jewelry. The white of pearls can illuminate your face. You can also go for
something more dramatic, such as hanging crystal earrings, but make sure they don’t
overwhelm your dress. If your gown is heavily beaded and sparkly itself, you may want to
wear subtle or smallish earrings.
Clip-On
Colorful. Jewelry is a great way to add color to your wedding day ensemble, Sapphires,
emeralds (or fakes) and semi-precious stones can add just a bit of punch to your necklace
and earring choices. Colored pearls are all the craze now, and the hues range from gray to
golden to pastel pink. Apricot pearls are among the trendiest selections. Be sure to keep
colored jewelry choices subtle.
Bridesmaids
Give your bridesmaids some direction when it comes to jewelry. You can tell them all to
wear pearls in colors that compliment their gowns, with matching earrings and bracelets.
Some brides give earrings, necklaces or both that double as wedding day wear for their
maids and wedding party gifts. It looks great if all of your bridesmaids wear the same
jewelry; it’s also fine if you allow them to make their own choices as long as they are in
keeping with the tone of your wedding and that the choices do not match or duplicate the
brides jewelry.
Keep it Simple. Let your gown, not your accessories, stand out. Whether you go for classic
jewelry or something a little funkier, make sure that your whole ensemble works together.
Do some trial runs with your gown and hairstyle to see which jewels really complement
them and enlist your bridesmaids for their input. Remember: proportion is the key. Jewelry
is an important accent on your wedding day, but the best choices don’t take center stage.
