The bride did not want to go with the typical glitzy bridal jewelry. Given that her dress has a lovely lace overlay and beautiful beading, she wanted to keep the jewelry simple. She also wanted to add a splash of color, aside from the sash on her dress.
So I can up with this lovely and simple necklace which brings together one the wedding's primary colors (purple) and the accent color (silver) with the butterfly decor.
I used a simple white organza ribbon so the butterfly seems to float above her chest. There is a simple purple glass pearl and tiny white pearl drop at the end of the extension loops.
The drop at the clasp match the elegant drop earrings I made. These are so simple but will be a great accent to the simple, down hairstyle she is thinking about.
So as you can see, the bride will have some simple but very elegant and classy jewelry to accent her dress. I think the simplicity is a perfect match for her outdoor, summer wedding.
When it comes to earrings that can go with multiple outfits and occasions, simplicity really is the key to success. If a person is going to spend money on an accessory, they will generally want to get something that can go with almost everything and accent rather than dominate a look.
These simple drop earrings featuring aqua resin beads accented with teal and white beads lends itself to so many different looks - from a lovely wedding reception dress to summer work outfit. Classy or jeans, most people will love (and feel more comfortable buying) an accessory that will go with everything.
This is a point many jewelry makers need to keep in mind as they are designing their pieces to sell. While it always great to have extravagant pieces that showcase an artist's skills, talent and voice, it is also important to have pieces that a woman can wear on a daily basis. Just a little food for thought.
Happy Crafting All!
