Pearl Bridal JewelryWhen choosing bridal jewelry you should consider these 5 tips.

  1. Think about the overall style of your wedding – If you are having a rustic vintage type wedding then maybe vintage rhinestone jewelry is the way to go. If you are having a bright vibrant wedding then maybe fun crystal jewelry would be best.
  2. Consider the style of your dress- If your dress has a high neckline then it might not be a good idea to get a necklace, but if your dress is strapless then maybe you want some bling around your neck to finish off your look.
  3. Don’t over do it – It might not be necessary to have a necklace, earrings, and bracelet. Don’t over do it and only get the necessities. The day is about you, not your jewelry.
  4. Look for >lasting pieces – When you look for wedding jewelry try to look for good quality pieces that can be passed down or look for items that you will wear on other occasions.

Jewelry for your wedding can be subtle or flashy, just make sure the style you are going for is what you achieve. These tips should definitely help you in choosing your wedding jewelry.

There is a lot of vintage costume jewelry to gawk at and admire. They made so many beautiful pieces of jewelry back in the day, and not all of them survived the wear and tear. Although not all of the beautiful pieces are affordable, there are a lot of affordable options out there. Here’s a selection of vintage rhinestone jewelry that I currently have available. This is by no means a full collection, this isn’t even the tip of the iceberg as far as what’s available in the market. This is just a little taste, a little piece of what could be added to your collection.

Sometimes vintage designer jewelry needs a little love and then it looks like a brand new treasure. I got this great Givenchy brooch that was a little on the gross side when I first came across it. I took a gamble on purchasing it because I wasn’t sure if it would clean up or not… but I gave it shot. With a little TLC and some polishing magic here’s a pic that shows half polished, half original. What do you think?

How much I love this picture for this color palette!  All of the colors in that photo are GORGEOUS and they really look great together.

Handstamped Jewelry

If you are looking for gifts for your bridesmaids, handstamped jewelry can be a great option. Custom jewelry doesn’t have to be super expensive, it can be a thoughtful affordable gift.  When looking at custom jewelry for your bridesmaids, there are a few things you need to ask yourself.  Will your bridesmaids appreciate something that is handmade and custom?  How do you want to get it customized? And will each girl get the same thing or something different?  These are all things to consider when you are looking at purchasing handmade or custom jewelry for your bridesmaids.

Some ideas to think about getting customized are you bridesmaids names, maybe your wedding date, their initials, their astrological sign, or maybe something a little different. If each bridesmaid has a distinct personality maybe you want to get them something that has fun words on their jewelry, like sassy, flirty, witty, spunky, or sweetheart…the possibilities are endless!  There are so many options when it comes to getting hand stamped jewelry or something custom made for your bridesmaids.  It’s very thoughtful and will most likely be appreciated by each and everyone of them.

If you are interested in purchasing handmade custom jewelry as your bridesmaid gifts, contact me and I can help you get the perfect gift for your special group of friends.

I came across a great post earlier today that had 10 fashion tips for summer. I liked them so I thought I would share. Here are my favorite 4, but if you want to read all 10 you have to go visit the original post.

  1. Looking stylish in the summer is partly about keeping cool always keep yourself cool and comfortable by wearing loose fitting clothes on hot days.
  2. Tunic tops are ideal for covering up on the beach or wearing with a pair of trousers, for a relaxed summer outfit. Look out for tunic tops in bright colors and patterns for a fun and eye catching outfit.
  3. Make use of tanks, they are one of the most versatile pieces of summer clothing. You can wear them under a suit for work, with jeans for the weekend or even with smarter trousers and heels for a night out.
  4. Try layering different neutral shades. This look will make you feel both cool and calm.
