Tips for Choosing Pearl Bridal Jewelry

 

Wearing pearl jewelry at your wedding has been traditional for generations.  Pearl bridal jewelry is also a sophisticated way to add your own personal touch to your bridal ensemble. What's more, your pearl bridal jewelry is not limited to just the day of your your wedding, it can be enjoyed and worn for years to come and will always remind you of your very special day. When choosing pearl bridal jewelry for yourself or your bridesmaids, it is very important to consider the overall design and colors of the wedding or bridesmaid dress and the resulting dress neckline.  There are four basic styles of pearl necklaces that are used as bridal jewelry, the collar, the choker, the princess  and the opera.

Pearl collars complement off the shoulder and V-neck fashions. The pearl collar is composed of three to five cultured pearl strands, each 12 to 13 inches in length.  It fits rather snugly around the middle of the neck.

Pearl chokers are the most versatile type of single strand cultured pearl necklace and will complement almost any neckline.  The pearl choker is composed of a single strand of cultured pearls that is usually 16 inches in length.

The princess length pearl necklace will work well with crew and high necklines.  This style of pearl necklace is usually 18 inches long and is frequently used with enhancers.

Opera length pearls, usually 30 inches long, when worn as a single pearl strand, are perfect for high or crew necklines, and when doubled upon itself, can be used as a two strand choker.
