From a simple pendant to a stylish statement, different necklace designs offer something unique for each bride. Not only can the right one help pull a look together, it can also enhance and highlight the intricate details in the gown.
Popular types of wedding necklaces include coloured gemstones in an emerald cut that inspire vintage-style elegance, and timeless classics like a halo or solitaire diamond wedding necklace. More contemporary designs like subtle chevron and infinity pendants are also growing in popularity for the bride that’s looking for something beautiful but a little different.
Before choosing a necklace, think about size in proportion to your neckline: longer pendants work best with V-neck or sweetheart necklines as it nicely complements the gown shape, while chokers and smaller pendants perfectly align with a strapless or rounded neckline. It all comes down to your own preference and how you feel wearing your wedding ensemble—including your forever jewellery pieces.
If you’re wearing a detailed gown, a piece of jewellery that is simple and understated, like a mini solitaire necklace, is a nice touch. Or perhaps pair a pearl necklace with a wedding gown embellished with pearls or beads, or go all-out glam if your dress is elegantly sleek.
Silver and white gold shine beautifully against cooler shades of white, while for the wedding, a gold necklace design offers beauty and warmth when paired with off-white or champagne coloured gowns.
