Weddings are back! And this season there are lots of exciting new trends for brides and the bridal party. Overall the focus is on quality, handmade and customised bridesmaid dresses which is also reflected in the bridal and bridesmaid jewellery choices. Brides are looking for forever pieces which are bespoke and meaningful but also can be loved and worn again and again by the bridesmaids after the wedding day.
Sustainability is high on the agenda too and brides and bridesmaid are sourcing ethical jewellery crafted from recycled silver and gold and using ethically sourced gemstones.
Beautiful bridesmaid styling and creating the wow factor is of course always in vogue for the Wedding Day. Here are our key bridesmaid trends for 2022 and insider tips from our designers and jewellers on how to wear jewellery that compliments the each of the bridesmaid's look.
Why Layering Works
Layered necklaces let you tell your story. Each chain, charm, or pendant can carry personal meaning, a memory, or just great design. When worn together, they create a look that feels polished but lived-in—refined but relaxed.
Plus, they offer endless versatility. You can switch up the mood depending on the day, outfit, or season.
Mixing Chain Types Adds Texture
Don’t be afraid to tell your story. Pendants and charms give your necklace layers a personal touch. Whether it’s a zodiac charm, engraved locket, or your birthstone, it becomes more than just an accessory—it’s your look.
Pro tip: Stick to one statement pendant at a time to avoid a cluttered neckline. Use it as your focal point, and let your other pieces support it.
The old rules about matching silver with silver and gold with gold? They’re outdated. Mixing metals adds a modern edge to your look and lets you wear everything you love at once. Just make sure the mix looks intentional: for instance, balance a bold gold piece with a more delicate silver chain. Or use a two-tone pendant to tie everything together.
