Bridesmaid Jewelry: Bridal Party Gift Ideas

When it comes to choosing bridesmaid jewelry, you have plenty of options. From sparkly bracelets to necklace-and-earring sets, there's something for everyone.

The first thing to decide is whether the jewelry is meant to be worn as part of your bridesmaids' wedding outfits or just for their personal wear after the ceremony. If the jewelry is meant to be worn at the wedding, you'll likely want to select a style and color that complements the bridesmaid dresses and your wedding theme.

If your gift isn't going to be worn during the wedding service, you can select any style that you think will be flattering.

How much you choose to spend on bridesmaid gifts is a completely personal decision. It's a good idea, though, to set a budget before you start to shop for your bridal party. Some points to consider:
• What's your overall wedding budget? How much of it do you want to spend on gifts?
• How many bridesmaids are you shopping for? If you have just one or two attendants, you might choose to spend a bit more on each person than if you have, say, six bridesmaids.
• How much are your bridesmaids spending on dresses, travel, etc.? You're not trying to cover their expenses with your gift, but you'll want to spend enough on something that truly shows how much you appreciate their support.
• Maid-of-honor gift: Traditionally, the maid of honor receives a slightly more generous gift to reflect her bigger role in the wedding preparations, so be sure to factor in that cost as well.

A necklace is a great choice for a bridesmaid gift. It can be a focal point of your attendants' wedding outfits and a go-to piece they can incorporate into their own wardrobes.

The Bayberry 3 Birthstone Necklace is a quietly elegant piece that layers beautifully with other necklaces.

The Grand 1 Birthstone Necklace features an eyecatching solitaire gem that makes a statement. A nice choice for a strapless bridesmaid dress.

Looking for a bigger pop of color? The Bayberry 11 Birthstone Necklace features sparkly, evenly spaced gemstones that catch the light with every movement.

For extra sparkle, consider the Greenwich 1 Birthstone & Diamond Necklace, a delicate pendant featuring a prong-set birthstone and accent Diamond. Especially nice on bridesmaid dresses with a scoop, sweetheart, or strapless neckline.

The Rosecliff Small Circle Necklace is a sweet reminder of the rings exchanged at your wedding. Alternate Diamonds with a gemstone in one of your wedding colors for the perfect accessory.

A bracelet is another great gift option for your bridesmaids, especially if you're planning to have them worn at the wedding -- they're sure to be noticed on your friends' wrists, regardless of their dress style.

The Classic 1 Birthstone Bracelet is a delicate piece that's lightweight enough for everyday wear. They won't want to take it off!

The stunning Grand 1 Birthstone Bracelet highlights a solitaire, bezel-set gemstone on a classic cable chain.

Seven shimmering gems take center stage in the Bayberry 7 Birthstone Bracelet. Layers wonderfully with other bracelets.

Earrings are a great idea for bridal-party jewelry, especially if your bridesmaids are going to be wearing their hair up.
Are your bridesmaids' dresses sleek and streamlined? Providence Stud Earrings, with their clean, architectural lines, will complement your friends' outfits perfectly.

For a pop of color, treat your bridesmaids to a pair of Grand Birthstone Stud Earrings. An ideal accent for any off-the-face hairstyle.

Greenwich 1 Birthstone & Diamond Earrings provide a dash of glamour that elevates any outfit. Your friends will love wearing them on your big day and for years afterward.

Traditionally, the maid of honor receives an extra-special gift to thank her for her friendship and support throughout the many months of wedding preparations. The gift of personalized jewelry is something she's sure to treasure forever. Grand 3 Birthstone Earrings are a sparkling cascade of color set in solid 14k gold. She'll think of you every time she wears them (and that'll be often!).

Sweet huggie hoops are a classic look -- Rosecliff Birthstone Earrings in your maid-of-honor's birthstone (alone or alternating with Diamonds) are something she can wear every day.

A jewelry set is also a great idea for a special maid-of-honor gift. If you're gifting your bridesmaids with a necklace or earrings, you might consider a complete necklace-and-earrings set for your maid of honor.

The Grand 1 Birthstone Necklace and Earrings Set provides a pop of color in a timeless style she can dress up or down. Versatile and designed for everyday wear, this set is sure to become a favorite.

With the Providence 3 Birthstone Pendant and Stud Earrings Set, your maid of honor will have a look that takes her from daytime to nighttime. Sleek, architectural lines make this set an instant classic.

Selecting bridesmaid gifts can be one of the most enjoyable parts of planning a wedding. And then there's the fun of actually giving the gifts! Your bridesmaids are sure to be thrilled with the jewelry you've chosen for them, and will cherish it as a memento of your special day -- and your friendship.
