Rings

If you go for the current trends in wedding jewelry, vintage styles from the 1920's are making a raging come back. Cushion-and-Asscher cut diamonds set rings are what brides are wearing these days. The square-cut diamonds are meant to reflect candlelight and draw focus into the stone. Both cuts provide a stunning complement to pave-set bands, which are also the most sought-after trends in settings.

Colors are also gracing the season with two-toned bands, currently dominating the bridal-jewelry ensemble of Novell Design Studios, while yellow and pink diamonds can be found on display at your local jewelry stores and even at Harry Winston's.

Bracelets

Models on fashion runways are flashing broad cuffs of gold and silver bands speckled with tiny rhinestones, beads, and semi-precious stones completing a vintage look. They should be any bride's favorite, as they resemble old family heirlooms brides love to wear on their wedding day to invoke sentimentalism.

Earrings And Necklaces

Don't fail to look your best on your wedding day by flashing the hottest trend in earrings and necklaces. Go bold with chandelier earrings that dangle glamorously, and boasting nothing less, of diamonds, pearls, or stylish glass beads that scream of the ornate Art-Deco style. You may also want to wear long, thin lines that skim on glossy shoulders of brides.

Complementing the fabulous bold earrings are dramatic designs in necklaces that showcase the "bigger the better" theme such as dripping gemstones to flaunt those oh-so-feminine necklines. As an alternative, cascading pendants featuring two to three different stones, as well as the classic choker of up to six layers of pearls create a sophisticated look.

Traditional Wedding Jewelry

However, if the hottest bold trend is not your style, don't despair – your grandmother's jewelry she wore on her own wedding will never go out of style. If you are like many brides who want to keep that sentimental air by wearing vintage heirlooms on their wedding day, traditional wedding jewelry are just the ones for you.

The "Claddagh" ring, a creation tracing its roots to old Ireland, still sets off as a timeless item in weddings by infusing rich symbolism and the romantic tale of its designer Ronald Joyce in the 16th century. Other classic, timeless styles that are equally popular until today include the Russian wedding ring, gimmal ring, fede ring, posie ring, and regard ring.

Weddings are memorable moments that are unspeakably worth reminiscing for a lifetime, and your wedding jewelry are perfect mementos to remind you of every moment of that day.
