Jewelry
Finding wedding jewelry on a budget can be accomplished if you take time to learn about the type of jewelry you are buying and shop around.
Their are a number of ways you can save on wedding jewelry.
~ Borrow. Ask your friends and family if you can borrow a special piece of jewelry they own for your special day.
~ Costume Jewelry. There are some amazing fakes on the market that can add sizzle and punch to your wedding outfit. It is very hard to tell faux from real. So take advantage and wear faux pearls, diamonds and more.
~ Bang for your buck. Certain types of jewels such as seed pearls and silver can give a sparkly look for much less than full bodied pearls and gold.
~ Shop around. Don’t get caught up in the moment and grab the first wedding jewelry set that catches your eye! Be sure to price shop and compare.
~ Other Stuff. If you are carrying a beautiful bouquet, have a lot of glitz on your dress, or a fancy hairdo consider forgoing the jewels for a simple look.
DIAMONDS
Sparkling diamond jewelry is a favorite of many brides; a diamond pendant, diamond stud earrings ~ so many ways to sparkle.
A classic favorite when it comes to bridal jewelry is the diamond wedding ring. In the past an exquisite round diamond was the ring of choice for many brides. Today, the traditional solitaire is still a favorite but many brides are opting for more unique designs; unusual stones, different metals and a personalized look.
If you opt for diamonds the key is to understand the 4 C’s that jewelers talk about, color, cut, clarity and carat. And of course keep in mind a 5th C – Cost! You can buy a lot of sparkle if you buy wisely.
