Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life.

You met the right guy. You found the perfect dress. You put so much effort into planning your special day, down to the last detail.

Why not put the finishing touches on your wedding attire by selecting custom artisan jewelry?

Well-designed jewelry offers you beauty that lasts. It also represents your personal statement of style. The most important rule for jewelry is to buy what you like because its beauty will last a lifetime.

The Jewelry Designer's Role

With this in mind, handcrafted jewelry can be the best pick for your wedding day.

A good jewelry designer will take the time to get to know you. Just as you consider your personal features such as body type and face shape when selecting your wedding dress and headpiece, so will your jewelry designer when creating your bridal jewelry.

She will also ask to see your wedding dress to get a creative vision for your jewelry. In many cases, your jewelry designer can use or match beads from your dress to create your custom jewelry.

What better way to complete your look than to have a one-of-a-kind set crafted to your specific desires?

Swarovski Crystals and Pearls -
Main Ingredients in Bridal Jewelry

The most common materials used for bridal jewelry sets include Swarovski crystals and Swarovski pearls.

Many people have heard of Swarovski but don't realize its meaning. Swarovski (Austrian) Crystal is considered by many people to be the finest quality, full-lead crystal made today. It contains a minimum of 32%PbO, making the crystal optically very pure.

The crystal is then faceted with tremendous precision, creating beautiful prisms. Brilliant colors and/or coatings are added to these crystals to create pendants, stones, and beads of dazzling beauty and tremendous variety of shapes and sizes.

Crystal's radiant light, and its mix of strong style and irresistible magnetism give crystal beads an innate glamour. Swarovski's core values are radiance, joy and sparking abundance - and their crystal is unmatched in quality and distinction.

Swarovski Crystal Pearls are perfect imitations of natural pearls. Each Swarovski Pearl begins with a crystal sphere core that gives the pearl its ideal weight (hence the name Crystal Pearl).

Next, each Swarovski Pearl bead is uniformly coated with iridescent mother-of-pearl-like layers. The even coating combined with the crystal base of the pearl beads give them a luminous glow from within and luster similar to that of real pearls.

The high specific gravity of a raw pearl made of crystal gives the Swarovski Crystal Pearl the same weight as a cultured pearl. A Swarovski Crystal Pearl feels good to the touch and as a piece of jewelry it offers that sensual experience valued by pearl enthusiasts.

Heirloom-Quality Mementos

Making the choice for handcrafted artisan jewelry for your wedding day ensures that you will have a memento to treasure and an heirloom to pass down from generation to generation.

In addition, giving jewelry as a gift is the perfect way to thank your maid of honor, bridesmaids, and flower girl for their participation in your wedding.

Your attendants will be touched when you present them with beautiful artisan jewelry. They will look lovely wearing this gift on your wedding day and they will cherish this keepsake forever.
