Your wedding ensemble won’t be complete without bridal jewellery. It’s what will add magic to your wedding gown and make you look more regal than you already are. The only problem is that choosing which one to wear can be impossible, as there are countless options out there.
If you can’t decide what to wear, we’ve narrowed down your options to two: pearls and crystals. Out of the other materials, these two are the most “wedding-worthy”. Here’s why.
Why wear pearls to your wedding?
If you’re looking for a way to accentuate your wedding dress without it being too overpowering, go for pearls. Here’s why you should wear pearls when you say your “I dos”:
Pearls add classic elegance.
If you want to be the picture of bridal perfection, wear pearls to your wedding. They’ve been worn by brides for ages, and even though they now come in a wide range of designs, one thing is the same: they add elegance to any wedding dress.
Pearls are a winner for brides-to-be who want to add a classic touch to their wedding gowns. And although pearls are subtle, they aren’t to be underestimated. Whether you wear a simple wedding dress or a show-stopping gown, a pair of pearl earrings can make you look immaculate. A simple pair of pearl earrings can accentuate your dress and turn it into “wedding-worthy” wear that captivates every wedding-goer.
Pearls are timeless.

They don’t go out of style. If you decide to renew your vows in ten or twenty years, your pearls will still be as fashionable as they are today. Whether they’re simple studs or show-stopping drops, pearls are timeless pieces that can be worn decades from now. Compared to wedding gowns, wedding themes, etc. that follow the trend, pearls are in a league of their own.
Plus, for your “something old” (or if you simply want to save), you can even wear vintage wedding jewellery from your mother, grandmother, or great-grandmother. It won’t matter what pearls they wore in the 60s, 70s, etc., as pearls are timeless. The best part? You’ll be able to wear something meaningful on your wedding day.

And since they’re so timeless, they can be passed down to your children and grandchildren.
Pearls are versatile.
Pearls don’t need to be worn only on your wedding day — they can be worn as everyday earrings, too. When shopping for wedding jewellery, it’s crucial to go for the one that you can wear again — that’s what jewellery is for, anyway: for wearing. Certain accessories can be costly, so you should be able to make the most out of them.
FRESH WATER PEARL AND SILVER STUD EARRINGS
That’s why pearls jewellery are a worthy option. They’re very versatile and can be dressed up or dressed down, whatever the occasion. Subtle pearl studs, for example, can be worn with an elaborate wedding gown (so as not to look too “extra”), or worn with a semi-formal ensemble to work.
Why wear crystals to your wedding?

Pearls are a classic choice, but if you want to stand out more, wear crystals. Here’s why you should go for crystals for your wedding day:
Crystals make you sparkle.
If you want to sparkle, wear crystals to your wedding. Crystals are a go-to choice among brides-to-be who want a way to embellish their wedding dresses, or who merely want the glitz and glam. Compared to pearls, they’re more extravagant, and will certainly draw attention (in a good way) to the wearer as they walk down the aisle.
BLUE TOPAZ CROSS NECKLACE
In addition, they’re your best bet if you’re going to wear a rented gown that isn’t exactly what you pictured yourself wearing on your big day. Maybe you wanted your gown to be more textured, but it ended up too plain. In that case, you could wear a crystal cross necklace— that way, you’ll be able to twinkle without making any tweaks to your wedding gown.
Crystals add colour
Not everyone is comfortable wearing a colourful gown to their wedding — oftentimes, it’s too bold for many brides-to-be. That’s where crystals come in.
Ditch the DIYing and add colour to your attire by wearing earrings such as these blue topaz earrings. You could even wear crystals in colours that complement your wedding gown — cubic zirconia, for example, can bedazzle your silver ensemble and make it look more expensive.

Certain crystals are cheaper than diamonds.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but the problem is that they aren’t budget-friendly. Fortunately, there are manmade materials that look like the real deal. Certain crystals, such as cubic zirconia, are an inexpensive (but still bedazzling) alternative to diamonds. And because they’re cheaper than diamonds, you can wear as many crystals as you’d like!
Crystals can calm you down.
Even if you don’t believe that crystals come with metaphysical properties, it can be nice to believe (even for a day) that crystals can calm you down. Weddings can be stressful, so you’re going to need all the de-stressing you can get, even if it’s only a placebo. Certain crystals such as celestite, black tourmaline, and more are known for being able to bring calming energy to the wearer.
You’ll get married only once in your lifetime (or so you hope), so it’s important to wear something that stands out on your wedding day. Switch what you regularly wear for envy-worthy pieces that were designed for life events. By choosing between pearls and crystals, you will be able to say your “I dos” in style.
