matching rings for couples & Pendants
The collarbones are usually bared in modern wedding gown styles, and the decollete is also bared to varying degrees. This matching couple jewelry means the perfect wedding jewelry will be at the center of each wedding picture. After the wedding, the necklace is second only to the ring as far as “wearability”. A bride should take the time to find the perfect necklace before the big event. Below are a few popular bridal jewelry styles.
These matching necklaces can be worn by brides who want a modern, clean look that matches their dress. The design of the wedding necklace features a stone in the center suspended from a metal chain that is attached either side to the setting. However, the stone does not always have to be a round stone. Diamond Nexus chained-attached Solitaires come in different sizes, shapes and weights.
Graduated Necklaces. The sparkling, faceted version of the traditional pearl string, graduated necklaces embellish the bride’s collar with a stunning array of stones. This style can be used either to highlight an ornate gown or as a subtle accent on a sleek modern gown.
Pendants: Like chain-attached Solitaires, pendants draw attention with a single stone set design. This style is unique in that the pendant can be easily removed from the necklace if you wish. This wedding pendant is a good choice for brides looking to continue to wear their wedding jewelry even after the wedding. It can be added to any chain and the pendant can also be mixed and matched.
Lariats and Y-styles: These necklaces look great with wedding gowns that feature a low V-neck or plunge-style neckline. These necklace styles feature embellishments on both sides, and continue down to a “tail”, at the end. This gives the look of symmetry. Look for a necklace with a lariat/asymmetrical design. It should have a fixed design to give the appearance of a pass through loop, without worrying about it cinching too tight.
Wedding Rings
Wedding rings are the true stars of the day. They’re not only a stunning piece of jewelry for a special occasion, they will also become an accessory you use every day. In this regard, wedding rings are undoubtedly the item to be considered when selecting accents for your ceremony. For some inspiration, we’ve compiled a list of trendy wedding ring styles.
The Bracketed Band In the past, bridal sets were made up of a wedding ring and an engagement ring. But, with brackets, it’s a different story. Instead of a single band, the wedding ring takes on the form of an “openwork” ring setting for the engagement band. The wedding band is placed inside to create a beautiful stone center framed by precious metals or stones.
The Eternity Band is an excellent option for the bride that loves to shine. Eternity bands can cover half or all of the outside edge and be channel-set or edgeless, depending on personal style. This kind of wedding ring is also great for a gender-neutral collection, if you want your commitment jewelry to be the same.
The Stylized band: With inset stones and beautiful textures such as braiding, engraving or leaves or flower elements, this band is an elegant reflection of a bride’s personality. This modern, funky style is ideal for brides who love to flaunt their rings and show off their love. This style works best for brides that want to wear the wedding ring on its own, not alongside an engagement.
The Framing Band. Where bracketed band surrounds the engagement ring both from the top & bottom, a framing bands adds an extra accent to the top / bottom of the center stone. These styles tend to be understated. They may or not have small stones set in them, but they usually feature a soft, subtle curve.
Stacked bands: This wedding trend is very popular. Instead of one wedding band, it replaces several with a beautiful group. These rings can be nestled together or apart, and may include different metals and styles of gemstones.
