Should You Wear Pearl Wedding Jewellery?

There are a lot of of choices for wedding jewellery including:

  • crystals,
  • diamante components,
  • precious stones,
  • semi-precious stones,
  • precious metal,
  • pearls.

Each of these brings so many options that it can feel overwhelming. To help choose the right option for you, you need a way of easily discounting the options that are not right for you, this article aims to do just that with pearl wedding jewellery as the focus.

Is pearl wedding jewellery right for you?

Just ask yourself the following:

  • Does my wedding dress have pearl beading?
  • Do any of my wedding accessories have pearls? (e.g. veil, headdress, clutch, hair accessories)
  • Is there a pearl jewellery item that I am already planning to wear? (perhaps your “borrowed” item, or an heirloom piece)
  • Do I prefer the lustrous sheen of pearls to the sparkle of crystals or the vintage appeal of diamante?
  • Do I want an elegant timeless look? (or think Chanel, Pride and Prejudice)

If you’ve answered yes to most of these then it feels like pearl wedding jewellery is right for you.

Well done! You have made a huge leap and have really started to narrow the options down.

Real/Natural vs Faux/Crystal Pearls

Now we need to narrow the field down a little more if possible. Do you have a preference for the specific type of pearl? Since we’re talking about wedding jewellery sets here, chances are that you want either white or cream pearls, and for that it’s hard to beat cultured/cultivated freshwater pearls for the range, availability and price. But if you want to take a look at Tahitian or South Sea pearls to factor these into your search also.

The main pros and cons of natural versus crystal are summarised below.

  • 100% natural pearls are very expensive. They take a long time to grow and are quite rare.
  • Cultured or Cultivated pearls re still 100% organic material, they just get a head start by being started with a bead of mother of pearl (material that makes the shell lining) so it takes much less time to make. These pearls are very popular and affordable and are used by many jewellery designers in all styles and to suit all budgets.
  • Quality crystal pearls are very hard-wearing and have a very pleasing weight and lustre. Swarovski crystal pearls are particularly good. Wedding jewellery is something that you will most likely treasure as a keepsake so you want it to be made to last, and to look the part for a very long time.
  • In terms of cost, Swarovski pearls are more expensive than cheap faux pearls and can also be more expensive than cheap cultivated pearls.
  • Organic pearls i.e. cultures/cultivates, especially the cheaper ones can have a lot of surface imperfections. Crystal pearls are perfect. It depends on your own particular taste and wedding theme whether you prefer your pearls to be perfectly uniform or to have some slight variation.

Handmade jewellery designers use both kinds and you can find a lots of amazing designs both classic and contemporary to suit your own personal taste.

Another benefit of a handmade designer is that they can usually change little details like using different pearls, or adjusting the length of your wedding necklace or bracelet to suit.

This can be particularly helpful when it comes to bracelets for your bridesmaids as wrist sizes vary enormously and it makes for a nicer gift if the bracelet has been custom-made for that woman.

Finally, if you do opt for pearls, be sure to match the shade of the pearl with your gown. You don’t want the pearls to stand out in the wrong way against the colour of your gown.

There is no such thing as a crystal onix. Maybe you mean shiny? If so, then yes.

If you’re asking how to trade your Onix on Crystal Version, transfer it to fire red/leaf green/ruby/sapphire, then transfer it through Pal Park to Diamond/Pearl.
