My favourite bridal pieces from the collection
As well as the magical pearl and golden thread tiara, which is the standout piece of the collection, I’m especially drawn to the ruby crystal droplet necklace suite. I love this one for its beautiful array of raspberry red droplets, which sit all the way around the neckline. And with matching delicate droplet earrings, this sublime suite truly is a timeless style find with a spellbinding pop of colour.
Our Christian Dior rhinestone set huggie earrings would be our third choice. A classic from the Designer of Dreams, we (j)’adore these effortlessly chic and timeless clip-ons which will bring the perfect touch of sparkle to your wedding day and doubtless become a forever style classic in your jewel box.

How to choose vintage jewellery for your big day
The golden rule – stay true to your own unique style. Opt for the jewel that instantly speaks to you or that first catches your eye. It’s tempting to try something totally different for a special occasion or to choose a piece of jewellery traditionally worn by brides, but by trusting your instinct, you’ll feel happier and even more radiant wearing your perfect jewel on your most special day.
There’s another upside to this approach. By choosing jewels that feel like you, you’ll always know just how to style them, and you’ll wear them again and again. And every time you slip them on, you’ll be reminded of your beautiful day. A true and timeless heirloom laden with precious memories.
