Every bride dreams of their wedding day. What better way to accentuate the dress of your dreams than with a pair of beautiful bridal earrings?

Wedding earrings are precious, timeless pieces that act as the perfect finishing touch to your most-anticipated look, especially when they complement your other bridal jewelry like a diamond necklace and bracelet.

Whether you’re searching for your own wedding earrings or browsing to surprise a loved one, here is your step by step guide to finding timeless bridal earrings that will be cherished forever.   

Finding Your Perfect Bridal Earrings

Discovering the perfect pair of diamond bridal earrings is no easy feat. In fact, there are several factors to discover that lead you to the right selection, such as matching the jewelry with your dress, veil, and head shape. 

How to Match Earrings with Your Wedding Dress

Let’s start with the most important part of your wedding day (other than the one you’re vowing to spend forever with): the dress! 

The staple of your wedding day appearance, every piece of bridal jewelry is selected after you’ve chosen the dress so these pieces perfectly accentuate your overall look. That’s because there are several factors about your dress to consider so you’re careful not to choose earrings that clash or overpower.

Consider things like:

• Any embellishments within the dress.

• The neckline.

• The dress’s style (is it simple and classic or ornate?).

• The tone/color of the dress. 

Let’s break these down even more. 

Matching with Dress Embellishments

Does your wedding dress have any embellishments? If so, then you’ll want to carefully choose earrings that complement these shimmery additions. 

Wedding dresses with pear embellishments pair best with pearl or diamond earrings, while sequins or crystals pair wonderfully with diamonds.

Matching with Necklines 

Your dress’s neckline is one of the biggest factors to consider when choosing bridal earrings. That’s because the length of your neckline can look vastly different with the length of your earrings. 

High necklines don’t look overpowered with stud or small statement bridal earrings. Lower necklines (V-neck, strapless, or sweetheart) are more forgiving and look great with longer dangling earrings. 

Matching with Your Dress’s Style

Other than your neckline, the dress’s style is next to observe. This is where your earrings can drastically complement or overpower your complete look. 

If the dress is more simple, classic, or minimal, consider keeping your diamond bridal earrings simple in nature without elaborate designs. More ornate dresses can handle earrings on the more elaborate side, but still use caution to not choose a set that overtakes your wedding dress style.

Matching with Wedding Dress Tone/Color

Not every wedding dress color is pure white. In fact, colorful wedding dresses are becoming more popular selections! 

Whatever the color you choose, there are matching rules for choosing the perfect pair of bridal earrings. See our chart below:

Considering Your Hairstyle and Veil

You should also consider how you’re wearing your hair and the type of veil you’ll have when choosing your memorable set of wedding earrings. 

Updos or half-up hairstyles look best with bold statement earrings since they will peek through your waves or be fully exposed. If you’re keeping your hair down, consider taming the embellishing but still choosing something that sparkles for a nice flashy touch. 

Matching your earrings to your veil is pretty simple. Basically, like your dress, you want to consider your veil’s style and embellishment. To keep the look balanced and harmonious, choose earrings that are more simple to wear with veils that are more ornate, and choose ornate earrings for veils that are simple.  

Complementing Your Face Shape

Lastly, your face shape is the final factor to consider. Your earrings are greatly impacted with your face shape since the style of earrings you wear draws attention to your face’s features. 

Once you identify the shape of your face, here are the styles of earrings to find that match.

Popular Bridal Earring Styles

It may seem overwhelming to take all of these factors into consideration to find your perfect diamond bridal earrings. Luckily, there are a few default popular selections that make the hunt easy!

Classic Diamond Studs and Drops

No bride is complete without wearing diamonds as part of their bridal jewelry. Classic diamond earrings in the form of studs, like these 14k Oval Shaped Baguette & Round Diamond Mini Studs, are an exceptional go-to choice for a dazzling addition.

But, if you want a set of earrings with length, then you’ll love our 14k Dangling 4 Prong Diamond Drop Earrings for a classic bridal look.

Elegant Earrings for Brides

Want something more exuberant? Elegant earrings exist to give your bridal look an increase in drama for true sophistication on your wedding day.

Modern and Minimalist Options

If you want to keep your bridal jewelry simple and classic, then you’ll adore a minimalist approach to your jewelry. Shop around for earrings like these 14k Diamond Huggies Earrings 16MM or 14K Linear Bar Triple Diamond Drop Earrings.

Choosing the Right Metal for Your Wedding Day

Diamonds are the only part of your wedding day earrings to consider. The metal surrounding the diamonds are another key ingredient of your bridal earrings as the metal can impact the look of your piece and clash with your dress. 

White Gold: Elegant Bridal Earrings

White gold is beautiful for keeping your earrings looking cool and cohesive with the gemstones. White gold earrings such as our 14K Gold Diamond Hoop Earrings also add brightness to your dress and veil because of the lighter metal. 

Yellow Gold: A Timeless Choice

Of course, for a touch of warmth, you can’t go wrong with a set of bridal earrings with diamonds hugged by yellow gold metal. Signifying wealth and luxury, yellow gold keeps your bridal look looking timeless in classic, especially when they’re in the form of dangling hoops. 

Rose Gold for Romantic Brides

To make your wedding day even more romantic, we highly recommend searching for sets that come in rose gold metal. Rose gold is close to yellow gold for a timeless approach with a slightly vintage design that adds beautiful color to your jewelry.  

Investment Pieces vs. Something Borrowed

You might have heard the famous wedding phrase, “something borrowed, something blue.” While borrowing heirloom jewelry from a loved one can make your wedding day even more special, there’s something equally as special – if not more – as wearing your own bridal earrings that you’ll hold on to forever.

Heirloom-Quality Earrings You'll Cherish Forever

Wedding earrings are not like everyday earrings. These rings signify the day you vowed your love to someone special for the rest of your life, so why not have your own set of heirloom-quality earrings to keep forever? 

Plus, wedding earrings make the perfect heirlooms to pass down to your children or other family members one day. Crafted with precious jewels, these earrings are made with the highest quality of materials for luxurious collection pieces to add to your jewelry box.
