The jewelry artists of Rose of Sharon Jewelry believe that another line to the classic “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” should be added “something made just for you!” Handmade jewelry is the perfect “just for you” addition to your bridal attire.
Dresses are tucked away in storage; but a handmade necklace or earrings can be worn yearly for anniversaries and other special occasions. Your jewelry can become a wonderful trigger for all those memories of your special day!
Here are 5 tips on selecting the right wedding necklace -
- Consider the basic color of your dress. Not all whites and creams are the same. Some are blue toned others have yellow under tones. Select pearls in with similar under tone colors.
- Consider your skin tone. Pearls can actually disappear when worn against some skin tones. A contrast (dark skin, bright white pearls) will make your necklace pop. If that’s the desired result then go for the best contrast you can find.
- Consider your neckline. Since so many dresses are strapless, you’ve got a big canvas to work with. You can either select a demure choker length or a large bib style that fills your chest.
- Crystals add sparkle and reflect the light enhancing your skin tone. Too many crystals can actually disrupt facial close ups so be careful.
- Select a pop of color from your color theme. Swarovski crystals, faux pearls, CZs and gemstones come in a wide range of colors for a touch of color in handmade jewelry. You can add as much as as little when ordering custom handmade jewelry. The results will be just the way you want them!

Selecting an heirloom quality design is a wonderful way to associate the memories with something you can wear and share for generations.

An illusion style necklace is a great choice as it is both light

and visually filling without being overwhelming.

Just as weddings should reflect your personality and interests, so should your jewelry. Nothing says you have to have “boring” white pearls. The illusion necklace above in clear water citrine cubes is strung on teal to match a gown’s ribbon trim.
