Curating the look (or looks) for your big day is no small feat. What you’ll wear tends to get the most consideration — the dress (or pants, skirt, etcetera) is the centrepiece, but what about everything else? Definitely not to be an afterthought, the accessories you wear on your wedding day deserve as much attention as the seating arrangements. Chief among them is your jewellery.

While your engagement and wedding rings are obvious additions to the bridal look, what about earrings? Necklaces? Bracelets! There’s plenty of ways to incorporate a bit more bling on your wedding day, but it also pays to think about the longevity of such pieces, too. When you’re investing in quality jewellery, you want to ensure you’ll be able to wear it again and again well beyond the special day. Besides, what could be better than a daily reminder of your wedding day in the form of diamond earrings?

Read on to discover five elegant pieces of jewellery that are perfect for the big day and beyond.
