The right type of wedding jewellery for your dress

August 12, 2021 • 4 min read

Exciting times! The big day is approaching and you’ve finally found the one – and we don’t mean your partner! Now that you’ve found the perfect dress, it is time to complete your ensemble.

Other than your shoes, accessories are a must to finish off your ensemble. At Midas Jewellery, we go beyond the necessary men and women’s wedding rings. Our collection of fine jewellery proudly showcases a wide selection of bridal jewellery for you to pick from.

Not sure what type of jewellery will complete your dream wedding dress? Let us help! With our guide, we will break down our recommendations based on your dress type.

Jewellery for sleeved dresses

Have you found the perfect design in a sleeved dress? Whether it is long, short or quarter length sleeves, sleeved dresses make for an elegant choice. However, due to their lengthy arms, these dresses can sometimes dictate or limit the types of jewellery options available.

For example, you would avoid bracelets for the more extended sleeved designs as they clash and go over the material. While bracelets can go for shorter sleeves, it is best to avoid the jewellery piece to stop your arms from appearing too busy.

Instead, opt for higher pieces such as earrings. Because of the coverage sleeved dresses provide, a classic stud or pearl design makes for a strategic selection that complements the dress without distraction.

Our Pearl and Diamond Earrings are a perfect example. Incredibly timeless, this pair features a four-clawed diamond stud, with an elegant South Sea pearl hanging from it. All the little elements come together and provide an understated appeal.

Designs for high neck dresses

Are you walking down the aisle in a high-neck design? Don’t compromise or take attention away from the upper part of your dress. Instead, work with the outfit by focusing on other areas away from the high neckline.

To avoid your accessories clashing with your dress, it is recommended to avoid necklaces. Jewellery that won’t distract from the dress’s high neckline includes bracelets, rings and minimal earrings.

If your high neck design doesn’t feature sleeves, introducing a bracelet to your attire can be a great feature. A thin diamond strand such as our Diamond White Gold Tennis Bracelet is a dainty addition that will provide a subtle sparkle to your outfit without overpowering the dress.

For those donning a long-sleeved, high neck dress, a ring on your non-wedding finger hand can provide the hint of jewellery you desire. Whether you are looking for a diamond band or a sapphire and diamond ring, we have an abundance of rings

Pieces for a low-cut or strapless dress

If you opt for a low-cut or strapless dress, your search for jewellery will not be as limited. With less coverage on your décolletage, you will want to accentuate your chest and shoulders.

The perfect way to accentuate your neck, a necklace makes for a prime choice in terms of wedding jewellery. Depending on the style of your dress, there are various designs to pick from. We have a wide selection ranging from dainty pendants to chunkier statement pieces.

Alternatively, drop earrings can also be a flattering choice for those with exposed shoulders. Choosing a lengthy design to float above your bare shoulders create an elegant and balanced appearance. This can also be a great way to add colour.

An exemplary drop earring design is our Aquamarine and Diamond Drop Earrings. This set features a compelling combination of white diamonds and refreshing aquamarine stones in a lengthy style

Jewellery for suits

Will you be dressing in a suit for your big day? Then we have a wide selection of jewellery to complement your look.

When it comes to suits, bracelets are best avoided. Because they sit on the wrist, bracelets are generally engulfed by the sleeves, lost in your ensemble. Instead, opting for something more visible such as earrings, a necklace or a ring can be your best solution.

Depending on the neckline of your suit, a necklace can be the right piece to complete your look. A design like our Oval Sapphire Necklace could provide the splash of glamour your suit is missing. A breathtaking mix of oval sapphires and white diamonds, this design will deliver on both colour and sparkle.

Alternatively, we also have a few cufflinks that make a sophisticated addition to your outfit. Ask your closest Midas Jewellery store to see what cufflinks are available.
