5 Statement Bridal Jewelry Trends to Wear For Your Wedding
Jewelry as an essential accessory used to be an afterthought when it came to bridal looks. A dainty bracelet here or a simple necklace there was common, but now there’s a new jewelry trend on the block: statement jewelry. Engagement rings are often at the forefront of many brides’ minds, but they’re not the only piece of jewelry that can take your bridal look to the next level. Simple and clean is the safer choice when it comes to bridal jewelry, no one wants to wish they had foregone the feather earrings that were the hottest trend at the time when they look back at their wedding photos. But, there are ways to add statement jewelry to your wedding gown that is both timeless and trendy. From chandelier earrings to a touch of something blue, statement jewelry is taking over the wedding scene and we’ve put together a list of some of the timeless jewelry trends to consider for your bridal ensemble!
Statement Earrings
Eight-carat engagement ring who? Bold earrings are taking center stage now. Engagement rings are just as important as they ever were, but brides are moving towards making a bold fashion statement through their earrings. Whether you’re going for a pretty drop style, oversized hoops, or a heavily embellished pair of chandelier earrings you’ll be sure to turn heads. If you’re feeling bold, you can take your ear candy up a notch and mix and match various earring silhouettes for a fashion-forward touch.

Pearls
Pearls may be considered a staple when it comes to classic, chic jewelry, but they haven’t always had a place as a must-have bridal accessory. But, in the last few seasons, they’ve found their way into the trendiest bridal looks. Not only have pearls emerged as popular embellishments on hair accessories for brides, but they also make an appearance in bridal jewelry as well. From pearl hoop earrings (yes, those are a thing) to pearl engagement rings, they bring a romantic and effortless feel to a bridal look.
Choker Necklaces
The days of only choosing between sweetheart and strapless necklines for wedding gowns are long gone. More and more brides are opting for more unique necklines in their wedding gowns, choosing from off-the-shoulder to deep v-necks, and even high necklines. Because of this brides are looking for necklaces that will accentuate their unique gowns, but also add some sparkle to their look. That’s where tennis or choker necklaces come in! They go with almost any bridal style, especially complimenting a more open neckline.

Colorful Designs
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but maybe so are sapphires, emeralds, and rubies? Many brides are taking an alternative route and choosing to include colorful jewels as the main stone in their engagement ring (think Kate Middleton’s sapphire ring), either by family heirloom or just for the love of color. But, even if an engagement ring is too far-fetched to include colored stones, additional rings and earrings can include colorful jewels or metals to add a pop of vibrancy to your wedding look.
Stackable Pieces
Whether it’s a set of bracelets or rings, stackable jewelry is a creative way to play up your hand jewelry. Using a mix of shapes, sizes, and hues is fashion-savvy and will draw attention to your engagement ring. Even if you opt to stack simple platinum or gold rings or bracelets, the layering of jewelry will still have a glamorous feel. For a bolder look, place midi rings throughout your hand which will help your manicure pop, complementing the details on your engagement ring.
