Bridesmaid Jewellery “Megan”, originally uploaded by www.virtudej.com.

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…

Sometimes it can be difficult achieve just the right look. So I decided to widen the range of earrings in the Charlotte range so that brides can have their bridesmaids looking “just so”!Matching Bridesmaids Accessories

Freshwater pearls are gorgeous, but sometimes you want more. Not as much as “too much”, just a nice place in between so that you can wear your traditional pearls but also feel like they’re now’s interpretation.

This is what “Lily” feels like for me; by adding in some crystal clear Swarovskis with the organic gems, it’s kind of a lovely fusion that creates an updated look for the modern bride. Click here for more details.

Every time I get a cold (which isn’t often enough these days) I cosy up on the sofa and watch my set of Pride and Prejudice DVDs- the BBC adaptation with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. And if anyone asks I’m working because the jewellery is one of those amazing aspects of this production!
So amazing that it inspired a range of bridal jewellery made from Swarovski pearls and other crystal components.
The image shown here is part of the Charlotte range.

I watched a Shirley McLaine TV series the other day- she was portraying Coco Chanel and it was just fabulous! I loved the outfits and particularly the jewellery.

It inspired me to create a little range of long pearl necklaces and assorted earrings:

There are no bracelets because, for this range the necklaces double up as bracelets- you just wear it stacked.
Très chic comme ça!

Meet Charlotte, she’s the sensible one from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. I little while back I was so inspired by the BBC adapration that I created the Pride and Prejudice jewellery range, you can read about it here.

Charlotte in Ivory

Back in the Edwardian days they didn’t have Swarovski pearls, which is a shame because these have an utterly flawless appearance and very pleasing weight and lustre. I decided to use Swarovski pearls and add in some sparkling rondelle components too to give a vaguely vintage feel.

The result you can see below- click on any of the images to be taken to my eBay store where you can get the super-sized version of the images. This is one of my best-selling bridal ranges.
