Struggling to choose your bridal jewellery? Be inspired by your wedding gown and you’ll shine all the way to the altar. Six Scottish jewellers line up their favourite looks
“Our circle pendant [above] echoes the curves of the sweetheart neckline on this Ronald Joyce gown, its shape acting as a symbol of unity and eternity. The diamond drop earrings will frame any bride’s features and emphasise the dress’s elegant sparkle, while the fancy band will enhance the beautiful detailing on the bodice.”
Natasha Muirhead, Chisholm Hunter
“The silhouette of this Caroline Castigliano dress [above] is timeless and elegant, therefore it was important that we chose equally enduring jewellery to pair with it. My two-toned Kiss collection is created using simple shapes set with either cubic zirconia or diamonds. Its classic design suits the style of the gown without detracting attention from the Bardot neckline.”

“I adore pearls and think they’re the perfect choice for getting married. The hoops [above] are one of my personal favourites – they look so lovely on, especially as a second piercing alongside a drop pearl, like these dotty ones, which would certainly add an elegance to the neckline of this stunning dress. To finish, the pendant is small, sculptural and classic, so as not to overwhelm the detailing in the gown.”
Diane Hall, Dower & Hall
“The flattering deep chevron neckline and mirrored V-shaped lines of this gorgeous Charlie Brear wedding dress [above] are echoed by the jewellery I chose to complement it. Diaphanous soft silk is juxtaposed with geometric gold to highlight a modern, Art Deco theme, perfect for a fashion-forward bride.”

“With its lace details and statement shape, this Aire Barcelona dress [above] deserves some serious sparkle. The earrings, ring and bracelet are classic, yet they still have a contemporary feel, making them pieces you’ll enjoy wearing again and again after your wedding. They’re also set in luxurious yellow gold, which has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years.”
Claire Rose, Laings
“Bright metals can add an impactful accent to white and ivory dresses. Our Art Deco-inspired Signature Collection [above] is crafted from white gold with rows of brilliant-cut diamonds for maximum sparkle. A V-neckline is the perfect pairing for an intricate pendant. The delicate elegance of this collection’s design ensures that when earrings and pendant are worn together, they are not overpowering.”
