Select Jewellery for the Bride and Bridesmaids

Select Jewellery for the Bride and Bridesmaids

Most women love to receive jewellery, but think of the gift recipient's personal taste, style, and lifestyle to select the perfect gift.

Choose a gift for your bride

When shopping for your bride, choose items she will hold close to her heart. Look for classic jewellery pieces she may not have in her current collection, such as diamond stud earrings, a tennis bracelet, a nice watch, or a diamond solitaire necklace. Or, select jewellery featuring the stones and metals she typically wears. Your bride may wear your gift down the aisle, so consider the style of her gown and other wedding-day jewellery. Other popular gift items for the bride include:

• Pearls: Pearls, probably the most traditional gift for a bride, make wonderful keepsake items that can be passed down to future generations. Whether you choose pearl earrings, a pearl necklace, or a pearl bracelet, you can always add a special twist with the type of pearl you choose. Black Tahitian pearls make a very dramatic (and expensive) statement. Beautiful and less costly freshwater pearls will also make her heart melt. If you want a classic pearl look, go with Akoya pearls (also called Japanese pearls).   

• Hearts: At your wedding you commit your heart to another person for a lifetime. Emphasize that sentiment with a heart-shaped piece of jewellery. You could choose a gold heart locket, a diamond- or gemstone-studded heart pendant, or heart earrings.    

• Something old, new, blue: Help your bride find her something old, something new, or something blue. Look for a vintage or antique jewellery piece, such as a brooch or a vintage watch, or maybe a jewellery setting with blue sapphire or aquamarine.    

• Jewellery boxes: For the bride who has all the jewels and nowhere to put them, a jewellery box is a unique gift she’ll use daily.

Select gifts for the bridal party

Make the other members of your bridal party glow on your wedding day by giving them the jewellery you want them to wear as they walk down the aisle. Consider the style and colour of their dress, your dress, and the type of wedding (small, large, casual, formal) you're having before purchasing their jewellery.

• Gifts for bridesmaids: Get creative with traditional bridesmaid gifts by choosing a theme, such as flowers, butterflies, or hearts. Present each bridesmaid with jewellery adorned with her birthstone and she’ll surely treasure it for years to come. Most brides choose bracelets, necklaces, and earrings for their attendants, but you can also provide bejeweled hair clips, a comb, or headband. To find a group of matching items on eBay, try shopping for complete jewellery sets or search wholesale lots of necklaces, lockets, watches, charm bracelets, earrings, or pins.    

• Mother-of-the-bride gifts: Find out what your mother will wear at your wedding and present her with a piece of jewellery to complement her outfit. She might like a brooch or pin, simple gold earrings, or a pearl bracelet.    

• Flower girl gifts: Your flower girl will probably like getting a gift similar to the gifts the bridesmaids receive.

You don't have to break the bank to thank each and every one of your wedding party attendants. It's the thought that counts, so be sure to put some heartfelt thought into your purchases and you can't go wrong. Remember, last-minute shopping may be acceptable for a birthday gift, but your wedding-day gifts are extra special. Buy well in advance, especially if you plan to have your purchases engraved.

Get Gifts for the Groom and Groomsmen

When shopping for men’s jewellery, consider each person’s style, taste, and lifestyle. Does he like to dress up or does he prefer to wear sweatpants and a baseball cap? Does he spend long days at the office or have an active, outdoorsy lifestyle? Once you have an idea of what your groom or groomsmen like, look at your jewellery options.

• Cufflinks: Cufflinks make a classic gift and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and themes, including sports themes and hobby-related themes. Splurge a little on your groom, the fathers, and best man by choosing pearl cufflinks, diamond cufflinks, gemstone cufflinks, or a simple pair of gold cufflinks or platinum cufflinks.    

• Pocket watches and wristwatches: Men can’t say no to a nice watch, even if they already own one. Stainless steel sports watches and titanium watches are top trends. You can also select elegant watches, such as classic gold watches on a leather band, finely crafted designer watches, or modern pocket watches. If you want to buy wristwatches, think about what style will look best on each person. If you think your groom will want to wear his own “something old” on the big day, think about purchasing an antique or vintage watch.    

• Money clips: Like cufflinks, money clips come in a variety of materials, including silver, gold, and leather. They can also reflect a person’s style, personality, hobbies, or interests. For example, money clips come shaped like golf clubs, poker chips, and more.    

• Chains and bracelets: Some men love to wear jewellery and if your groom falls into this category, have fun shopping for masculine chains and bracelets to your heart’s content. Just remember, you want this gift of jewellery to last a lifetime, so choose timeless looks over trendy styles.    

• Tie clips: Get all the men in your wedding party tie clips or tie tacks to wear on the big day.

• Belt buckles: Though a less traditional gift, every man needs a belt buckle. Depending on his style, you can opt for a big, flashy belt buckle or a simple pewter belt buckle, brass belt buckle, gold belt buckle, or silver belt buckle with engraved initials. 

• Silver flasks: If you’re not sure about the personal taste of the person you’re buying for, silver flasks have wide appeal.

To make things easy on yourself, and make your ring bearer feel more included, give him a slightly smaller version of the gifts you plan to give to your groomsmen.
