How do you show love and appreciation to the women who volunteered to support you and stand by you on your wedding day? Although they’re not expecting anything in return, being there during the most important time in your life wasn’t easy. They offered their opinions, provided a shoulder to cry on, assisted with your checklist, showed up to fittings, and likely rearranged their schedules and budgets. The least you could do is present them with something that expresses your gratitude.
Why Women’s Fine Jewelry Makes Sense
There is no shortage of bridal party gifts you can present to your sisters, best friends, daughters, nieces, mother, and mother-in-law; however, there’s something about jewelry that takes the cake. It’s attractive, versatile, customizable, valuable, and meaningful. The proper jewelry selection can help you express your appreciation without uttering a word. The best part is jewelry is also the perfect accessory to add to their wedding-day attire.
Jewelry Gift Ideas For The Bridal Party
If you’ve decided to gift your girls with women’s fine jewelry, the next step is figuring out which pieces to choose. As you already have a ton of things on your checklist to worry about, we’ve created a list of jewelry gift ideas your bridal party is sure to love.
Locket Necklaces
Lockets are a great gift idea for your bridal party. These small pendants made of precious metals provide a space for you to add a photograph or tiny keepsake to add meaning. You can find them in an assortment of metals, sizes, shapes, and styles to complement their attire, age, or interests.
Your junior bridesmaids will love receiving a rose gold chain with a heart-shaped locket. On the other hand, your mother and mother-in-law (to-be) might prefer a yellow gold necklace with an oval locket with a vintage design or breathtaking details like gemstones.
Charm Bracelets
Women of all ages wear charm bracelets. They’re more versatile than a diamond bracelet and pair well with dressy or casual attire, making them an excellent accessory for everyday wear. Lastly, charm bracelets add a layer of intimacy that can further express your love for your bridal party.
You can keep things simple by choosing identical bracelet metals and styles. However, your charm selections should be unique. Opt for charms that speak to each person’s interests, personality, and style. For instance, if your best friend loves Disney movies, you might purchase a charm with her favorite character. Perhaps your sister loves to travel. If so, she’d appreciate a bracelet with a globe, airplane, or luggage charm.
Vintage Brooches
While small children and teens might not appreciate something as timeless as a brooch, it’s the perfect gift for older women. Brooches are a great accessory that adds style, texture, and personality to your look. You can attach it to a necklace or pin it on your scarf, belt, collar, jacket, or purse.
Your mother or mother-in-law would appreciate something like a Celtic, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Enamel, or Edwardian brooch. Of course, you could always opt for something more modern, like a large gemstone, bedazzled initials, or a solid metal brooch in the shape of something they love.
Chevron Diamond Rings
Rings aren’t only for the bride and groom; they can also make great presents for your bridal party. While you may not have the funds to purchase thousand-dollar rings for everyone, there are more affordable options that provide the same meaning. Take a Chevron diamond ring, for instance.
A Chevron ring (or wishbone ring) is a v-shaped ring. The downward V, symbolizes Venus, the goddess of love, which aligns perfectly with the occasion. They’re simplistic yet encompass intricate details that make them an excellent choice for the women who have sacrificed so much to ensure your day is special.
Being asked to be in a wedding is a true honor. While the women you’ve selected happily volunteered to be there for you, it’s always nice to show appreciation. Though there are endless meaningful bridal party gifts to consider, you can never go wrong with the list of women’s fine jewelry options listed above. It’s a gorgeous keepsake they can cherish (and wear) forever.
