So be it a pearl pendant necklace or pearl earrings they can add a beautiful lustre to your wedding dress .
Diamonds:
As the saying goes diamonds are a girl’s best friend and again on their wedding day brides love to wear diamonds. Many wedding dresses are trimmed with diamonds and again a diamond pendant, earrings or necklace can look beautiful on a wedding day. While some brides love to wear a single solitaire others will choose a more detailed piece. Another tradition is for the groom to gift the bride with a piece of jewellery which she wears on her wedding day. This piece becomes a family heirloom which in turn can be passed down to the next generation.
