How to choose earrings for your wedding?
Choosing wedding jewelry isn't an easy decision because, while the main focus is the wedding dress, it's these accessories that will give you the perfect look and make this special day truly last forever. Indeed, unlike the wedding dress, you can wear your wedding jewelry, especially your earrings, every day of your life! Wedding earrings: the jewel of your outfit.
The radiance they bring to your face is essential to ensure that everyone sees you on your wedding day. Therefore, it's important to carefully choose the most important earrings of your life. Bollwerk jewelers offer a short guide to help you select the most beautiful pieces for your wedding day!
Wedding earrings: Why choose 18-carat gold wedding earrings?
The earrings you wear on your wedding day will be with you for a lifetime. Therefore, choosing low-quality pieces is out of the question. If you want your wedding jewelry to truly last a lifetime, you should choose fine jewelry pieces crafted from a pure, precious metal like 18-karat gold. 18K gold is luminous, elegant, and durable. Furthermore, it requires minimal maintenance to maintain its brilliant shine every day.
In our jewelry workshop, you'll find exceptional pieces in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. And if you wish, our French master jewelers can design bespoke high-jewelry earrings especially for your wedding day.
Why choose 18-carat gold wedding earrings?
Before choosing earrings for your wedding, it's crucial to consider the style of your wedding dress, especially its neckline, cut, and embellishments (if any). If you're wearing a dress with intricate details, opt for simpler earrings to balance the overall look. Conversely, if your dress is simpler, you can wear more elaborate and eye-catching earrings.
Regarding the neckline, a dress with a Peter Pan collar allows you to play with earrings that sit close to the ear, such as the Move Uno stud earrings in rose gold by Messika. Wedding dresses with a more pronounced neckline allow for long, oversized earrings. You could, for example, opt for drop earrings or hoops in white gold.
Wedding earrings: which earrings to choose according to your face shape?
The shape of your face directly influences the type of earrings you should wear on your wedding day. For round faces, long earrings with vertical lines can help to visually lengthen the face. Conversely, if your face is oblong, more rounded or voluminous earrings can create balance, such as the Happy Diamonds earrings in rose gold by Chopard.
Also important is to consider your skin tone and hair color, as fair skin and blonde hair pair best with white gold earrings and diamonds or sapphires. However, if you have darker skin and brown or black hair, you can experiment with combinations of rose gold earrings with a diamond or emerald.
Which earrings should I choose to match my bridal hairstyle?
If you're considering a hairstyle with your hair pulled back, earrings will be a focal point, allowing you to choose very bright pieces, either featuring a gemstone or opting for more substantial earrings. If you're wearing your hair down or partially up, more subtle earrings can be a wise choice. Think cultured pearl earrings or studs with a central diamond.
Which wedding earrings should you choose based on your style?
To feel your best on your wedding day, it's essential not to compromise on your personal style. There's an earring for every bride, and it's this uniqueness that will truly bring out your beauty on your big day. For brides who love vintage style, Art Deco earrings can be charming; the most romantic brides can play with long rose gold earrings; and those with a more classic style will find their perfect earrings in pearl or diamond designs.
It's important that you wear wedding jewelry that reflects your personality. That's why custom-made earrings can be the perfect option for you. Bollwerk jewelers can help you commemorate this eternal event with unique and timeless earrings, specially crafted for you in our French workshops.
Finally, we have one last piece of advice to keep in mind: if the wedding takes place at night or in winter, it's always best to choose diamond earrings, as they illuminate the face and reflect light. On the other hand, daytime weddings, or those held during the summer, allow for different combinations of gold and gemstones, playing with colors and creating a more golden glow with yellow gold.
