Wedding Jewellery Guide: How to Pick the Perfect Pieces for your Big Day

Your wedding jewellery is more than an accessory - it's a collection of jewellery you will treasure for a lifetime. From engagement rings to wedding bands, bridal earrings and necklaces, choosing the right wedding jewellery is an important part of your wedding planning.

At Wrights the Jewellers, we support couples in finding timeless wedding jewellery that reflects their style, love story and future together.

 

Wedding Bands: The Heart of your Wedding Jewellery Collection

Wedding rings are the foundation to your jewellery collection, a symbolic representation of your love for and commitment to one another. Choosing the right ring involves considering style, comfort and durability.

Popular wedding band choices include:

• Gold wedding bands - white or yellow gold
• Platinum wedding bands
• Stone set wedding bands - for extra sparkle
• Court shaped wedding bands - for comfortable everyday wear

Your wedding ring should feel effortless to wear, something that you will still love to wear in the many years to come. To see what we can offer and create your own bespoke wedding band, why not explore our ring builder.

 

Bridal Jewellery and the “Something Old, Something New” Tradition

The tradition of “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” is a cherished part of many weddings - and your jewellery is a great way to incorporate one or more elements. 

• Something Old

A piece of inherited or vintage jewellery is a beautiful way to honor your family history. This could be a grandmother’s ring, pair of earrings, pendant or bracelet passed down through generations. Older pieces can be restored or revamped so that they are ready to wear on your big day.

• Something New

Your wedding jewellery naturally fulfils the ‘something new’ tradition - this can be purchasing a new pair of earrings or a bracelet, but even your wedding bands can represent this. Hand picking some brand new jewellery to mark the start of married life makes it all the more special. Many brides choose pearl jewellery - an addition of classic elegance but also a symbol of love and protection. Royals and celebrities often wear pearls on their special day, famously Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II made the choice to enhance their gorgeous gowns with the subtle beauty of pearl jewellery.

• Something Borrowed

If your friend or family member has the most beautiful piece of jewellery that they are kind enough to lend you, this is a great way to fulfil the ‘something borrowed’. We can give the item a polish up so it is clean and sparkling for your big day!

• Something Blue

Blue gemstones are a subtle and elegant way to introduce this aspect of the tradition into your wedding jewellery. Sapphires are a popular choice. Set into earrings, pendants or bracelets, the deep blue stone represents your lifelong commitment. Alternative blue stones include aquamarine - a beautiful soft, pastel blue - or blue topaz, which is much more vibrant in colour. Even the smallest blue detail can have a beautiful impact on your wedding look.

Don’t Forget the Groom!

Although we love to provide jewellery for the bride so that she looks extra special on the big day, the groom should treat himself too! Of course all grooms will get a wedding band, this may match their lucky lady or be in a slightly different design - we can offer a range of styles and finishes. Many couples choose to get matching rings to symbolise their connection. 

For the finishing touch on a stylish suit, why not invest in some special cufflinks as a reminder of your wedding day. Another great way to treat the groom is treating him to a new watch to add some extra style points! We offer a selection of pre-owned luxury watches as well as stocking watch brands including Rotary and Herbelin.
