Whilst the internet offers brides a great choice when shopping for ‘on-the-day’ jewellery to suit their chosen look, we feel that there really is no substitute for being able to come into a shop, try some things on and speak some experts about how far your budget can go/how you can keep your special day jewels in tip top condition/what we might be able to design or order in for you to match your style.
So, we invited local wedding planner Isabel Smith of Isabel Smith Wedding Design to take a look around the shop and pick her favourite pieces for brides on almost any budget:
UNDER £100
Silver and cubic zirconia multi-circles collar necklace – was £125.00, NOW £62.50
Silver and cubic zirconia hexagonal hoop earrings with a brushed finish – was £35.00, NOW £17.50
ISABEL SAYS: “Silver and cubic zirconia is a great combination for a bride on a budget since CZ offers a lot of sparkle for your spending, and they come in every colour under the sun. I was particularly taken with this set, not just because it is currently in the sale so is an amazing bargain, but since geometric shapes are so popular at the moment. In fact, I think I’ll feature these on the upcoming ‘bubbles’ design board on my own blog.”
Freshwater pearl long necklace with multi-string tassel end – £49.50
Freshwater pearl and cubic zirconia drop earrings – £30.00
ISABEL SAYS: “Pearls remain a popular choice for brides and I just couldn’t resist this longer necklace which would go perfectly with a sleek Jenny Packham gown, or any of the stunning vintage-inspired backless dresses that are on the market at the moment. The sparkly earrings would add interest to the front view, but remain small so as not to overpower the necklace.”
UNDER £250
Silver and cubic zirconia ‘pave diamond effect’ pear drop necklace –£44.00
Matching earrings – £58.50
ISABEL SAYS: “Now this is something really special. Everything by the company The Real Effect is designed to imitate diamonds as closely as possible – and they really do! I picked this particular set since it is so Kate Middtleon-esque but there is something in this range for everyone – and such a bargain too!’
White chalcedony pear shaped pendant set in silver with cubic zirconia – £130.00
Matching earrings – £82.50
ISABEL SAYS: “This set would suit a church wedding so well – simple and chaste, but elegant with just that hint of sparkle. Since it can be ordered in a range of colours, it could have a very wide appeal; The pretty sky shade set I see here at the shop could be the perfect ‘something blue’.”
UNDER £500
Twisted freshwater pearl necklace – £440.00
Freshwater pearl stud earrings – £37.50
ISABEL SAYS: “I’ve come back to pearls since this chunky twisted necklace would look so effective paired with a sleek, shorter dress – maybe something prom shaped with some fabulous coloured shoes? The simple stud earrings leave the necklace (and shoes!) to speak for themselves.”
Diamond set yellow and white gold circles pendant with yellow gold chain – £395.00
Yellow and white gold disc stud earrings – £95.00
ISABEL SAYS: “Yellow gold isn’t nearly as popular with brides as it used to be, but it is enjoying such a revival outside of the wedding industry, I was really keen to select at least one yellow gold option. If you’re wearing a coloured dress, and the tones suit, yellow gold can be so effective. This necklace ticks all the boxes – yellow gold in a modern setting, white gold AND diamonds – what more could you want?”
UNDER £850
Black and white diamond set necklace in white gold – £395.00
Matching earrings – £425.00
ISABEL SAYS: “Black and white diamonds are so cool – I love the combination. This set is such a good price and would add a really contemporary feel to any bride’s outfit.”
White gold butterfly necklace set with diamonds – £625.00
0.10 carat rubbed over setting solitaire diamond earrings – £175.00
ISABEL SAYS: “Butterflies still feature at a lot of weddings since they tie in with the ‘country garden meets vintage chic’ trend that is so popular. This little butterfly is so so pretty, and the solitaire earrings make a fantastic wedding day gift for the groom to buy the bride since they can then be worn every day.”
Under £1500
White gold circles collar - £1,250.00
White gold hoop earrings - £89.50
ISABEL SAYS: “I love the delicacy of this collar – it is so pretty on! And the simple hoop earrings make a great match. With two such wearable pieces, you can re-capture your wedding day magic every day.”
White gold heart-shaped ring with floating diamond - £925.00
White gold and diamond heart stud earrings - £465.00
ISABEL SAYS: “Hearts are always a classic choice – and very appropriate for a wedding! Avoid things taking a tacky turn by keeping things very clean and simple, like these earrings, and avoiding any large hearts around your neck.”
Blow the budget
White gold and diamond crossover pendant with chain - £1,825.00
Matching earrings - £1,775.00
Pave set diamond double disc pendant set in white gold - £3,750.00
Pave set diamond 'falling curtain' earrings - £3,750.00
Solitaire diamond with a baguette and princess cut diamond surround - £10,625.00
Matching earrings - £11,950.00
ISABEL SAYS: “Now I’m having some real fun! De Marsac has so many stunning statement pieces alongside their matching sets, I have found it literally impossible to choose. The crossover set is so pretty when against the skin, whilst the ‘curtain effec’t drop earrings are just pure artwork! You can’t beat the overall quality of the glacier clear diamonds in the square set though – that’s a serious investment set.”
Starburst brooch in silver with cubic zirconia - £97.50
Butterfly brooch in silver with cubic zirconia - £75.00
ISABEL SAYS: “Brooches should never be overlooked when it comes to your wedding style – these beauties could be used to trim the sash on your dress, the silk wrapping your bouquet, or even in your hair.”
these designs are ultimate .They are so nice that anyone will purchase them at first glace.
