Aventurine Copper Chandelier Earrings

These earrings have been very popular in my boutique. I didn't have a pair in the store just a picture of them in the window display. So after popular demand, I have started making them again. They are made from green aventurine stones, fire polished glass and real copper. They are about 2 1/4" long. Click link for more details.

Finding the perfect bridal jewelry for your bridesmaids can be a daunting task. If your goal is to add originality, style and quality to your wedding, consider ordering custom bridal jewelry.

Hiring a jewelry designer makes it possible for you to order jewelry that actually represents each person's personality. Most brides that enter my boutique are looking for something special. For example if you have 3 brides maids that are polar opposites in their fashion sense, It would be a waste of money to give them the same exact necklaces, bracelets or earrings especially if you know that they will never wear it again and will probably toss it after the ceremony.

Since they are your friends, you probably know enough about their style to help you determine what they would like. You can work with a jewelry designer based on what you know about each person's personality and/ or style. The color of the jewelry will be based on your wedding colors. The style is the only thing we're customizing. Let's say you have a friend that's quirky and off beat, a design with a bit of humor or something fun would fit her style. If the other bridesmaid is more on the conservative side, she would more than likely appreciate something simple and uniform. Let's say your third bridesmaids is an earthy type, a simple pendant on a chain would be the perfect piece of jewelry for her.

This is not only a great way to accessorize your bridesmaid's dresses but it's also a great way to say thank you for being a part of your special day.

I would like to order custom bridal jewelry, but I don’t want to go over budget. Is custom bridal jewelry affordable?

The cost of your custom bridal jewelry will be based on a few things namely design, materials and time. A simple pendant necklace with colors from your wedding on a chain is a simple, but lovely design for the bride as well as the bridesmaid’s jewelry. In this case the bride would have her necklace designed to match her dress. I suggest a color from her dress or a bead similar to one on her gown. The bridesmaid’s pendant necklaces could be a one color or a combination of colors from her shoes and dress or some other color in the wedding. The next thing to think about is what materials will be used in your custom jewelry. If you use precious metals like sterling silver and 14kt Gold or 14kt Gold-filled, your cost are more. If you opt to go with base metals, your cost will be cheaper, but after a few wear the metal finish will wear off never to return to its original color. Also, glass pendants can be very pretty, but if you want your wedding jewelry to sparkle, Swarovski crystals add the perfect amount of sparkle to your design. Time also plays a part in the total cost your custom bridal jewelry. The more time or elaborate you design the more your custom jewelry will cost.

I’m getting married. Should a bride wear earrings?

If high style is the look you want to achieve go with large elaborate chandelier earrings made from materials in the same color family as the dress such as pearls or crystals. If your style is classic, a small pair of earrings whether they be pearl, diamond or a family heirloom.

All the bridesmaids in my bridal party are different sizes. One young lady is plus size and one is petite. How do I find jewelry that will look great on everyone without having to change to different styles for each person?

Order custom bridal jewelry. When you order custom jewelry, your jewelry is designed to your specifications therefore ensuring a perfect fit. Whether the person is petite or plus size, you can order the same design for each bridesmaid without settling for mismatched jewelry.
