Traditional and Non-Traditional Bridal Jewelry


A bride’s wedding dress is one of the highlights of the wedding. It is the one single white dress at the party and the only wrong thing you can do is to forget to highlight its beauty with the right bridal jewelry. Choose a simple pearl necklace (which is always a classic) or go for something less traditional like a bracelet of semi-precious stones.

Wedding jewelry should not be treated like ordinary accessories, but should be chosen specifically to provide that “wow factor” to the dress it is paired with. Dallas is a wonderful place to shop for bridal jewelry. You have unlimited options and you can easily look for pieces that fit your budget and taste. Jewelry stores in Dallas are now easily accessible through the internet and you can do some pre-shopping online if you’re too busy in the months leading up to the special day!

Since wedding dresses serve as the perfect canvass for jewelry pieces like earrings, bracelets and necklaces, one should take the time to experiment when deciding what to wear with the dress and consider many different ”looks”.
A red baroque-style pearl necklace gives that splash of color to the dress and is a more modern take on accessorizing a traditional wedding dress. You can always lean towards a more bohemian style of accessories with a potato pearl necklace in luminous earth tones (brandy, claret, chardonnay, and olive). Additionally, designs like this bohemian-inspired pearl necklace work well with other necklaces.
Of course, sometimes nothing beats the classic. White pearl necklaces and earrings will make any bride look radiant and beautiful. You can wear multiple-strand necklaces or simple, round pearl earrings—it’s all up to you. A long strand of pearls adds a more playful vibe but it you’re concerned with getting your necklace caught on something, then opt for the short single strand. Pearl earrings generally come in two styles—stud and dangling. Stud earrings are probably the more popular choice. Play it up with big-sized stud pearl earrings, choose a peach colored stud for that subtle splash of color or wear a pair of dangling pearl earrings for a more dramatic effect.. Both pearls studs and longer, dangling styles of wedding jewelry are available at the Samantha Rose jewelry store in Dallas. For the very boldest bride, black dangling pearl earrings should make a statement!
Beaded jewelry has become part of today’s trends. Non-traditional wedding bridal jewelry usually comes in beaded form with the use of materials like silver, bronze, sandstone, Swarovski crystals, and wood. Non-traditional bridal dresses make perfect matches with these statement pieces. They can come in oversized styles, multi-layer beading and in such bold colors as red, deep blue and green. They can also be made to blend with the dress in shades of olive, peach, pink, and gray.
Samantha Rose, a jewelry store in Dallas, Texas runs the gamut of bridal jewelry options for any type of bride—from the simple to the dramatic. Their website provides a view of available items and descriptions so you can do your pre-shopping before going to their store.
