为您的婚礼选择合适的珍珠新娘首饰

Begin by assessing the neckline of your wedding dress. A plunging or V-neckline works well with a stunning drop pearl necklace or lariat whereas a high neckline may call for a choker length pearl strand or no necklace and a pair of statement pearl earrings.

Consider the overall style, minimalist brides might lean toward a pair of smaller pearl studs or a simple pearl bracelet, while a more glamorous bride may choose a pair of statement pearl earrings.

Think about your hairstyle and how the jewellery will sit when you wear your hair up or down.

Test jewellery with your dress during your fitting to see how it photographs, feels and moves.

Seek our jewellers, like Pearls of Australia, who source pearls from sustainable pearl farms.

At Pearls of Australia our pearls are directly sourced from our very own pearl farms in Cygnet Bay Western Australia and Broken Bay New South Wales.

Things to consider when looking for ethical and sustainable bridal jewellery include:

• Ask about the origin of the pearls, if they know where the pearls are originally from.
• Ask about the grade and quality of the pearls.
• Ask if the pearl jewellery comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
• Ask if the pearl has been treated or if it is natural in colour and lustre.

Pearls are delicate, avoid harsh chemicals, perfume, hairspray and anything acidic.

After wearing, gently wipe pearls with a soft, damp cloth to remove any oils, sweat or residue.

Store pearls in a soft pouch, removed from it's original jewellery box. Avoid storing in an airtight container or with other jewellery that may scratch them.

Periodically, have your pearl jewellery cleaned and restrung to maintain it's beauty.

Bridal jewellery can include:

• Earrings, like studs, drops and statement.
• Necklaces, like strands and lariats.
• Pendants on matching chains.
• Bracelets.
