Normally you hear a lot about June weddings, but statistics show that more weddings are held in August through December.

Traditional can be what you make it, so why not add a different touch to your wedding tiffany jewelry style?

Pearls are a traditional bridal choice and today’s brides have more options than ever. “Pearls come in a variety of colors and styles,” notes Natalie Parman, vice president of merchandising at Jewelry Television. “They’re a perfect choice for both brides and bridesmaids.”

Pearls are classified according to their origin and their shape. Because of the wide variety of pearls available, you can choose a look and a price that is right for you.

On Your special day you want everything in order, from your wedding dress, to your shoes, jewelry, and make-up. Your jewelry will add that special look to your wedding gown. But certain jewelry just seems like a natural choice for weddings.

“Cultured akoya pearls are the quintessential ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ strand in a creamy white color,” says Parman. You can choose lengths from short, chocker styles to long strands. “Multiple strands or chocker styles are hot wedding trends,” she says. Because they are affordable, cultured akoya pearls also make great bridesmaids tiffany pendants. When choosing a strand of pearls, look for 5- to 7-millimeter pearls that are individually knotted between each pearl instead of just strung one after the other-that’ s a sign of quality.

Freshwater button pearls also make great bridesmaids accessories. They’re inexpensive and they are usually dyed, so they’re available in colors ranging from cream and gray to pink and peach. They are called button pearls because they are shaped a bit flat. A look at the button pearl necklaces from Jewelry Television reveals something for everyone, from a traditional single pearl with a round diamond accent slide to the more modern drop style cluster of button pearls connected by a sterling silver chain and hung from a leather cord.

Wear Tahitian pearls to your rehearsal dinner, or pack them as part of your honeymoon wardrobe.

If you’re looking beyond pearls for your wedding accessories, another timeless piece of jewelry that is currently back in vogue is the cameo.

“Cameos are making a big comeback, and they have a wonderfully romantic history, making them very appropriate for tiffany earrings.” Whatever your jewelry wish, for your wedding day.
