25 Best Wedding Jewellery Pieces I Wish I’d Seen Sooner

“This season, simplicity takes centre stage. We’re seeing a return to elegant minimalism, pieces that enhance an outfit without stealing the spotlight. I’m especially drawn to barely-there chains, fine stacking rings, and an understated pearl earring. These pieces are designed to be collected over time, layered or worn alone, letting you create a look that feels effortlessly refined,” says Brittany.

New York Bridal Fashion Week wholeheartedly proved her point. Simple, freshwater studs adorned the ears of Anne Barge’s models, while traditional diamond and pearl drop earrings saw a resurgence courtesy of the likes of Enaura and Ines di Santo.

As expected, Danielle Frankel, Marmar Halim and Lihi Hod took a modern approach with oversized, sculptural earrings and XL necklaces that stood out as much as the gowns did. And I’m just as obsessed. “Jewellery becomes even more special when it tells a story,” Brittany says. “For brides, personalising your jewellery adds that perfect sentiment to your wedding day, creating pieces that reflect your journey and your future together.” And if you can’t go for something standout-ish at your own nuptials, then when can you?

That said, if you’re a bride like I was with a dress that speaks for itself, you might not want anything too OTT. I ended up wearing a dainty pair of drop pearl earrings from Lily & Roo, alongside a Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra necklace (gifted to me by my husband on the morning of our wedding – I’ve trained him well).

The bracelet

Husband, if you’re reading this, I would gladly accept either of these two bracelets as our first wedding anniversary gift. There’s something so timeless about a tennis bracelet, and they make the best heirloom gifts to pass down to future generations.

The earrings

Pearl drop earrings are a classic for brides whether you pinch your grandma’s for your ‘something borrowed’ or treat yourself to a new set. The two below are the styles I’d be drawn to most, if I was getting married again. The LILY & ROO pair for the addition of a delicate chain, and the Completedworks style for the toi et moi-style cubic zirconia addition.
