Bridal Jewellery Trends for 2013

With the summer upon us, and wedding season in full swing, if you’re engaged to be married, now is the perfect time to check out new jewellery trends ready for your big day. This year’s bridal jewellery is bigger and bolder than before, so why not indulge? After all, you will be the centre of attention on what will be the most special day of your life! And the best place to start for bridal jewellery inspiration in 2013? Your local jewellery shop, of course!

Bridal jewellery trend 1: Luxe-Boho

Bridal jewellery has gone boho of late: trailing lace long-sleeved dresses and loose curls are staples of this trend. The Luxe-Boho look is all about quirky-ness and individuality, but with a twist of luxury thrown in, and if you want to add a bit of luxurious hippy-chic to your big day, ask your local jeweller about multi-layered strings of pearls and even long lengths of jade coloured beads and jewellery embellished with feathers.

Jewelled headbands which lie across the forehead rather than being worn in the hair are another statement of the luxe-boho look; it’s certainly not a trend for the shy and retiring, but if you dream of saying “I do” in a relaxed, intimate ceremony, this may be the bridal jewellery trend for you this summer.

Bridal jewellery trend 2: Chandelier Earrings

Nothing says statement bridal look better than a sweeping up-do for your hair and beautifully sparkly chandelier earrings. Less is most definitely more with this look: wear just the earrings with no other jewellery, or risk overdoing your accessories. Why not ask your local independent jeweller to custom make some beautiful dangling earrings for you? You could even have them made to match your overall theme: from birds, to flowers, to red-carpet glamour, they can be made to suit your exacting requirements.

Bridal jewellery trend 3: Irregular Pearls

Pearls have been the go-to look for many brides for many years, but today’s pearls are taking a slightly different form: 2013 brides are opting for irregular shaped, oversized pearls which can be made into large drop earrings and pendants. The pearls are often placed in unusual settings, too – think a large, unusually shaped pearl enclosed in an oversized silver oval cage pendent. If you would like something a little out of the ordinary, your local jewellery shop should be your first port of call – not only for pearls, but for all types of bridal jewellery this season.
