Top 4 Online Wedding Jewelry

When most people think of wedding jewelry, visions of sparkling rings tend to dance through their heads. But while rings are certainly the most important aspect of wedding day jewelry, a bride must also give consideration to the other pieces she'll be wearing. From gorgeous necklaces to beautiful bracelets, we've got the skinny on all the current jewelry trends.

1. Rhinestone Necklaces
Dramatic rhinestone necklaces utilize the bigger-is-better theme as well, dripping gemstones and setting off demure necklines. Dramatic cascading pendants show-off two, three, or more linked-stones, and even classic chokers are emboldened with up to six strands of pearls. The classic stand-bys of delicate pendants, classic diamond studs, and bare wrists are always in style, so don't despair if the bold look in wedding jewelry isn't your taste. But for the up-to-the-minute bride who wants to reflect the latest look, big is definitely beautiful. So Harry Winston isn’t lending you a diamond choker and chunky diamond earrings like he does the Oscar nominees. But you still want something to add a little sparkle, adorn your neck and ears, and complement your gown on wedding day. If you don’t have access to the diamonds, look for some fabulous rhinestone jewelry. These days it’s hard to distinguish rhinestone and costume jewelry from authentic gems. GlamForLess.com offers an array of rhinestone necklaces. They have a great selection of both rhinestone and costumes jewelry and many of their pieces combine the costume pearl and rhinestones together for a sparkly and classic look.

2. Pearl Necklaces
Pearl necklaces are a bride’s best friend. The lustrous white color is a beautiful complement to a white or off-white wedding gown. Although timeless, pearls are hot now and evoke fashion’s current fascination with feminine things. They have been worn by style mavens for ages; they were a favorite of the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy as well as Catherine the Great. Pearls are also extremely versatile. Choose the strand length that best enhances your gown’s neckline. A pearl collar, 12-13 inches, is usually made up of three or more strands and hugs the middle of the neck. It looks best with plunging or v-necks, boat necks or off-the-shoulder gowns and looks fab if you choose to wear your hair up. A choker, at 14-16 inches, is called the most classic and versatile necklace a woman can own. It goes with just about any gown neckline. Princess length is 17-19 inches and goes well with high and very low necklines. Brides should probably not go much longer than princess length to complement their gowns, although an opera length strand, 28-34 inches, can be doubled to make a lovely two-strand choker. A good size pearl runs from 5.5 mm to 7 mm. GlamForLess.com offers an array of faux pearl necklaces.

3. Rhinestone Bracelets
Thick cuffs of silver and gold sprinkled with gemstones are currently flashing on the runways of fashion. Tiny rhinestone bracelets add an air of daintiness to chunky designs of semi-precious stones. The look is wide and antique, with brides walking down the aisle with family heirlooms on their wrists for an old-fashioned, sentimental air. GlamForLess.com offers a wide array of rhinestone bracelets to choose from on your wedding day.

4. Chandelier Earrings
The look in wedding jewelry now is bold, and the hottest trend in the spotlight is the chandelier earring. The dangling pieces of jewelry boast diamonds, pearls, or even glass beads, evoking a glamorous, Art-Deco look. Long, thin, shoulder-skimming lines are also showing up on brides, a sleek counterpart to the bold chandelier. Drop pearls and pearls with some diamond (or fake diamond) sparkle are elegant wedding selections. The white of pearls can illuminate your face. You can also go for something more dramatic, such as hanging crystal earrings, but make sure they don’t overwhelm your dress. If your gown is heavily beaded and sparkly itself, you may want to wear subtle or smallish earrings.
