There are so many little details that add up to your perfect wedding “look.” A big one is the necklace you choose to wear on that special day. It can be a little overwhelming to find the right one, so Birkat Elyon, the experts in quality cubic zirconia jewelry, offers some helpful style tips.
Choose your dress first. It makes picking the right necklace easier versus doing it the other way around. Consider the neckline and style: a simple gown versus one with a dramatic, plunging neckline will call for very different pieces. You want to complement your dress, not overwhelm it.
Experts suggest starting with the “metal,” i.e., white, yellow, or rose gold, or sterling silver. Pick one that goes well with the color of your gown, and that coordinates with any other accessories you plan to wear, especially your earrings. If you choose “statement” earrings, stick to a simple necklace, and vice versa. Balance is key.
Consider using your necklace as the “something old/borrowed” part of your ensemble. It’s a perfect opportunity to showcase an heirloom piece.
The neckline of your gown should determine the style of necklace you choose. Choices include a classic choker that sits high up on the neck, or a simple chain for an easy, elegant touch (this one from Birkat Elyon features beautiful CZ stones for extra sparkle). A multi-strand necklace is just that, incorporating several chains of differing lengths. The lariat style creates something of a hanging effect that looks like a “Y” shape, while the Princess style resembles a beaded bib across the collarbone.
Birkat Elyon has a beautiful selection of elegant cubic zirconia necklaces and pendants that will complement any style of bridal gown. It’s also easy to find earrings that work beautifully with these pieces.
Best of all, they’re affordable (and no one will be able to tell them from real diamonds)!
