Jewelry for that special day.

Every girl dreams of that day when she would one day be marching down the aisle to pledge her unconditional love to the man of her dreams. When you are planning to tie the knot, you want everything to be planned accordingly from the reception to the wedding favors, the bridal gown and even the bridal jewelry. As much as possible we exert every effort to make this very special day perfect and memorable.

Contrary to what other people may say, I believe that bridal jewelry is just as important as the other aspects and considerations we need to plan for in a wedding. It is important that the bride wears jewelry appropriate for the occasion to complement her bridal attire as well as enhance her over all look. With the wide array of choices in the market on the types and beautiful designs that are available, I'm pretty sure that you will be able to find one that will suit your wedding theme and bridal gown design.

Your selection on the kind of bridal jewelry for your wedding would depend a lot on the design of your bridal gown. Classics like a pearl necklace or a diamond pendant on a chain would go well with any bridal gown design. Include matching earrings as well. If you find diamonds to be too expensive, you can opt for a much affordable alternative with a cubic zirconia or Russian diamond. You can wear elaborate jewelry design if your bridal gown is very plain and simple. The bridal jewelry will then serve as the accent to add chic and elegance to the entire outfit.

If the design of your bridal gown is with intricate lace trimmings, beads and embroidery, it would be best to go for simple jewelry design. Other jewelry options include sterling silver, gold and platinum. In selecting a necklace ensure that the length would go well with the neckline of your gown. For tube or bustier as well as V-neck design, choker types would always be the best choice. If your bridal gown covers the neckline or is in a halter design, it is better not to wear any necklace and focus instead on the earrings that will bring attention to your face. You have the option of wearing just a simple stud of pearl or diamond design or going for chandelier or drop earrings if the wedding occasion is not that formal.

Have an idea of how your coiffure will look like to be able to decide on what earring design would look best with it. I guess what every would-be bride needs to remember is to choose jewelry that appropriately matches her bridal dress to look her best and feel like a princess on this celebrated occasion.

Sterling Silver Jewelry: Some Fast Facts

Silver is one of the three classic precious metals, alongside gold and platinum. All three of which have been used for centuries in the production of fine jewelry. Fine (bullion) silver, which refers to silver at 99.9% purity, is too soft and malleable for most uses, used most often for the production of minted treasury bars. When it comes to the manufacture of jewelry, sterling silver is the silver of choice.

Sterling silver is a mixture of pure silver and, typically, copper. The ratio of which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, though other metals are used on occasion as well (e.g., nickel and zinc) to form the alloy. The addition of other metals provides for hardness and durability as well as to aid in the prevention of tarnishing. Sterling silver has a natural white luster, though is prone to tarnish due to a reaction occurring between the silver itself and sulfur in the atmosphere. As well, oxygen may tarnish the copper content of sterling silver.

The term "sterling silver" itself apparently emerged in England around the 13th century, a product of a convergence of terms in reference to 925 silver--i.e. sterling silver. The meaning seems to reference a "firmly planted little star," likely a reference to sterling silver's luster and durability. Another perspective on the emergence of the term "sterling" puts forth the notion that the term in question stems from an area in modern day Germany (circa 1300 AD) called the "Easterling." It was in this particular area that sterling silver emerged as component of primary local currency.

Sterling silver as a form of currency was later adopted by the English and remained a mainstay for centuries. Today, however, sterling silver is no longer prevalent as minted currency. Despite this, sterling silver, harder than gold, more plentiful, and more affordable, remains popular as a precious metal for a host of other purposes.

Sterling silver was extremely popular in the form of flatware and ornamental dining implements from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Today however, sterling silver is most popular as the base metal for quality, fashionable--yet affordable--jewelry.

Sterling silver can be fashioned into a wide variety of interesting and ornamental jewelry pieces. From sterling silver rings, sterling silver bracelets, sterling silver charms, sterling silver necklaces, to sterling silver earrings--sterling silver is extremely popular among both jewelry artisans and consumers. You can't go wrong with sterling silver jewelry.
