Swarovski Heart Necklace

One of the easiest and most accessible theme for a wedding is hearts! It makes sense: it sybolises love and it’s a very pretty shape. I just love the Swarovski hearts with their sparkle and gorgeous facets. I used one to make a necklace with some cultured freshwater pearls.

Cultivated Freshwater Pearl Necklace

This necklace is reminiscent of antique style pieces, but has been updated with a subtle amount of sparkle thanks to Swarovski’s champagne coloured crystals.

Here’s a pretty thing- little pendant necklace and matching earrings.

Ideally the bridemaids should be wearing something that matchines but that doesn’t overshadow the bride’s jewellery. PLus if it’s not “wedding-y” then it makes a nice little keepsake gift that can actually be worn afterwards.

I wasn’t so much thinking of Picky Bride here so much as Diverse Bridesmaids.

When you’re trying to achieve a harmonious look sometimes all it takes is a little detail, like the earrings, to help pull it all together in a subtle way.

So here’s Charlotte, diversified a little, to help please all of the bridesmaids, some of the time…

My my, “Charlotte” went and got herself a few new shades! She started off in a very prim and proper ivory shade, but recently has been seen in Bronze, Chocolate and now Platinum!

Over the next few days I’ll be adding in these luscious new shades to my handmade jewellery shop- perfect for harmonising a look amongst the ladies in your bridal party while keeping enough variet in the shades and styles to keep everyone happy!
