Jewels
Jewels and glitter, beads and filigree, diamonds and pearls - there are so many gorgeous things with which to adorn ourselves on our wedding day. However, take some advice from the legendary Coco Chanel and ‘Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off’. Less can sometimes be more when it comes to wedding jewels – one specially designed piece makes a stronger statement than lots of smaller jewels, and the current trend towards wearing one wonderful piece of hair jewellery is a perfect way to make an impact without going over the top. There are several excellent Peninsula-based jewellers who are able to work with you to create artisan pieces for your special day – something to wear, enjoy and treasure forever.
When it comes to gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsmen, traditional ideas such as cufflinks for the men and vintage brooches for the women are both practical and provide a lasting memory of your special day. For mothers of the bride and groom, a special pin for their corsage or other small token is a lovely gesture to make.
Wedding rings can be plain bands or sparkling accompaniments to your engagement ring – you will be wearing them for a long time so choose a style which suits you and which you’ll be happy to wear every day. When buying diamonds, it’s important to consult a reputable jeweller who can advise you about the four ‘C’s - cut, clarity, carat and colour - all of which will affect the price and appearance of the jewel. You should be given several stones to choose from and your jeweller will be able to advise settings which display your chosen stone to its best advantage.
It’s always fun to sparkle and shine and never more so than on your wedding day, so use your jewels to create a little magic and enhance your own personal glow from within.
