How to buy: Bridal Jewellery
What are the five key things to look for when buying bridal jewellery?
The five things to look for in bridal jewellery are budget, the outfit design (whether it is contemporary or traditional), the colour of the stones and whether it is practical. Practical in the sense that one can convert it later.
How can one update an old jewellery set?
You can change it. I look at a 20-year old-set and I think polishing it and different stones or drops will give it another look.
What are the more popular designs in bridal jewellery?
Brides use to go for big, big sets but not anymore. There are locket set of diamonds and stones that are more popular now.
One trend that you wish didn’t exist ...
I don’t like chokers.
How much money should brides spend on their jewellery?
It depends on the bride’s budget. I ask my clients what their budget is and then design a jewellery set.
