Weddings, those celebrations filled with moments that remain engraved in our memory, moments in which emotion is running high and every detail counts. For this great day, the choice of jewelry should not only be a matter of style, but of connection with every detail of the piece. Jewelry accompanies us, it tells us stories, and later on, when we touch it, it will remind us of just how special the occasion was. Whether you are the bride, the bridesmaid, or a guest, jewelry is a must, so continue reading if you want to discover the perfect handcrafted designer jewelry for the big day.
What jewelry should I wear for a wedding?
Jewelry at a wedding does not only complement the look, but it also adds light, sophistication, and meaning. Before deciding what pieces to wear, it is important to bear in mind the style of the event, the time of day and, above all, your personal taste.
Excessively ornate jewelry can take away naturalness, while overly discreet pieces can go unnoticed. The secret is in finding the perfect balance between elegance and personality. For daytime weddings, light materials and hints of color work really well. For night-time weddings, shiny metals and more striking pieces become the protagonists.
In addition to the general rules, what is most important is that the jewelry you choose makes you feel authentic and special. At Joidart we design jewelry for those looking for something special and different, moving away from diamonds and other traditional elements of conventional jewelry. If your style is more artistic and original, if you like organic shapes and handcrafted pieces, you will love these designs.
Jewelry for the bride on her big day
The bride’s earrings are, without a doubt, the most important feature after the wedding ring. Depending on the type of neckline on your dress, we recommend choosing earrings of different lengths. For example, long earrings such as these Garbet, with a small embedded crystal, or the Guspira earrings, decorated with delicate pearls, are ideal if your neck and shoulders are bare, if you are wearing a strapless or sweetheart dress. However, if your dress covers your shoulders with straps, such as a halter or Queen Anne neckline for example, we recommend shorter earrings such as these hoops, also from the Guspira collection, with delicate pearls, or these geometric design earrings from the Somni collection.
Bracelets also have their place in a bride’s overall look. If you want to add this piece, our absolute favorite option is the Garbet bracelet. Fine, delicate and with a small embedded crystal that adds elegance.
Jewelry for the bridesmaid
Being a bridesmaid is much more than a role; it is being a privileged witness to a unique moment, a calm presence that provides company and brings light. The selected jewelry must reflect that essence: natural elegance, effortless distinction and a special connection with each piece. A safe bet are the Venus and Stardust collections, with an original yet elegant and gentle design, they work fantastically with virtually all styles. If you want your jewelry to express more of your style and personality, and for them to be eye-catching without overdoing your look, we would choose designs from the Vol, Arai or Embolic collections.
An unexpected brooch is also an ideal piece of jewelry for a bridesmaid if you want to add personality and elegance.
Jewelry for a wedding guest
For us, dressing up for a wedding is the perfect opportunity to express our style and be creative with clothes and jewelry. Could there be a better occasion to wear that unique piece of jewelry you love so much? Our recommendation will always be to choose special designs, that reflect your personality while also enhancing your look. There are jewelry collections with ‘wedding’ written all over them, such as the Addaia collection whose handcrafted and colorful crystal inlays suit colorful wedding guest dresses. We also recommend these earrings and bracelet from the Onaria collection, with undulating shapes that make these pieces both different and elegant.
For more relaxed weddings, we think jewelry with organic shapes is ideal to complement a more Bohemian and modern guest look. Our choice would undoubtedly be the Pampalonia collection, which boasts a delicate flower shape in each piece of the set.
