The world is your oyster when it comes to choosing your wedding jewellery but recent trends have indicated that pearls are still the gem of choice for many brides-to-be. From Gal Gadot at the 2019 Met Gala or Audrey Hepburn's iconic look in Breakfast at Tiffany's, pearls are a timeless choice for wedding day jewellery.

Whether your bridal style is classic and traditional or contemporary and trend-led, pearls are a versatile choice. Opt for an understated matching set or for a bolder look, statement pieces such as a headpiece or pair of bespoke earrings are great stand-alone pieces.

Here are just a few unique ways to wear pearls on your wedding day.

“Eternally romantic and undeniably special, we love how pearls add a soft glow of elegance to your bridal look,” says Siu Coll, founder of Liberty in Love. “Pearl-embellished bridal headpieces incorporate a gorgeous softness against the glitzy shine of crystal. For the most radiant look, choose pearls to suit your individual skin tone and dress colour.”

"Pearls are the world’s oldest gemstone, perfectly complementing the bridal aesthetic. Our Good Intentions earrings even hold a tiny hidden pocket inside which you can conceal a hand-written good intention, to carry with you down the aisle," says Ruby Jack.
