#1 Not asking for jewelry certification

While shopping for jewelry, brides-to-be often forget to ask for a letter of authenticity.

This is an important document that certifies your authentic jewelry, guaranteeing its status as a real item.

Whether buying a diamond necklace for the engagement, a dichroic glass ring to pair with your cocktail dress, or expensive jewelry for any other occasion, do ask for the certificate of authenticity.

#2 Picking jewelry by its size and not by its weight

People often select jewelry by its size and not by its weight.

However, it’s better to do it the other way around. Choose jewelry that has a weight in proportion to its size.

Picking jewelry by its size and not by its weight

This justifies the carat involved in the gems and makes your jewelry look not just beautiful but expensive too.

#3 Not taking facial features into consideration

Brides-to-be often make the mistake of buying the same jewelry that once looked beautiful on some other bride.

However, what may look good on others, may not look nice on you as everyone has different facial features.

Choose jewelry that suits your face.

For instance, long and drop earrings are a good option for people with a round faces.

#4 Buying jewelry before the outfit

Buying jewelry before the wedding dress can be a risky affair and can put you under the pressure of pairing it with the outfit.

For instance, if you have bought traditional jewelry, you can’t match it with a designer wedding gown or vice-versa.

Due to this, you may have to compromise on your choices, especially for the big day.

Be on the safer side, buy the bridal dress and then choose your jewelry.

#5 Going out of budget

Every woman loves jewelry to glam up for a special day.

Due to this, they often go over the budget while shopping for the perfect neckpiece, earrings, etc.

Come up with a budget to avoid overspending on jewelry that you may not wear after the wedding. Instead of going for expensive gold, silver, and platinum, look for affordable jewelry.

Be practical and save some money.

In the end…

Jewelry is one of the most expensive investments you will ever make in your lifetime.

Knowing where you can go wrong beforehand will make things easier for you.

So brides, better are careful. It’s your special day, after all.
