Bridesmaid Jewelry Ideas: Our Guide for Unique Gifts | GLDN

From the venue to the dress to the flowers to the reception, wedding planning can be beyond overwhelming and sometimes you need a hand with the last-minute details—specifically, this question that may be keeping you up at night: “What jewelry are my bridesmaids going to wear?!”

Let’s simplify this. The best bridesmaid jewelry will accomplish three things.

1. Look gorgeous and cohesive on your wedding day.

2. Act as a thank-you gift for being in your wedding.

3. Be high-quality and timeless enough for them to hold onto.

We have the bridesmaid jewelry ideas and tips you’ve been searching for—and it’s even easier than you ever thought possible.

And if you're thinking about pairing a bridesmaid necklace and earring set, we’ve got recommendations that take the guesswork out of styling. (We even have monogrammed and engraved gifts for bridesmaids if you want to add a personal touch!) Because let’s be real—your besties deserve better than a random candle or a tote bag they’ll never use.

 

 

Timeless & classic: pearls for an elegant look

If your wedding aesthetic leans toward the traditional and refined—think black-tie venues, champagne towers, and timeless silhouettes—pearls are the ultimate choice. They exude sophistication, elevate any outfit, and look stunning in photos. Pearls can also create a fun juxtaposition to a more boho wedding by mixing something classic with something earthy. 

Best pearl jewelry for bridesmaids

• Trinity Pearl Drop Earrings – A delicate yet striking addition to any dainty bridesmaid jewelry look.

• Pearl Necklace – Understated and elegant, perfect for an effortless, timeless aesthetic.

• Pearl Newport Bracelet – A subtle nod to vintage glamour with a fresh, modern feel.

Want to take it up a notch? Pair a bridesmaid necklace and earring set featuring pearls for a polished, cohesive look—because nothing says timeless like pearls and perfectly captured group photos.

 

Ethereal & romantic: sparkle with white sapphires and diamonds

For those dreamy, soft-lit weddings with flowing fabrics and candlelit receptions, ethereal jewelry is the way to go. Think subtle shimmer, delicate designs, and just the right amount of sparkle to catch the light without overpowering.

Top ethereal jewelry picks

• Starfall Diamond Earrings – Perfect for adding a celestial glow to any wedding party jewelry list.

• Polaris Diamond Solitaire Necklace – An elegant, delicate piece with just the right amount of sparkle.

• Starscape Diamond Ring – A dainty ring that feels almost magical.

These white sapphire and diamond pieces add an element of whimsy and refinement, making them perfect for a soft, romantic wedding theme. If your wedding looks like something straight out of a Pinterest dream board, these are the perfect finishing touch.

 

Eclectic & artistic: playful colors and nature-inspired details

If your wedding is all about mixing colors, embracing personality, and breaking a few traditions, then your bridesmaids’ jewelry should reflect that same bold spirit. Colorful gemstones, floral-inspired pieces, and asymmetric designs bring a fresh, unique twist to traditional personalized bridesmaid jewelry accessories.

 

Unique jewelry ideas for an eclectic wedding

• Aura Gemstone Studs – Choose a birthstone or favorite hue for a fun, personalized bridesmaid jewelry touch.

• Midnight Blossom Necklace – A floral-inspired piece that brings a touch of nature to any outfit.

• Poet's Garden Gradient Ring – A dreamy, colorful ring that adds dimension and uniqueness to any bridal look.

Want your wedding party’s jewelry to feel even more one-of-a-kind? Consider gifting them different colored gemstones so each piece is personalized yet cohesive—because what’s better than a bridesmaid gift that actually fits their personality?

 

Why bridesmaid jewelry is the perfect gift

Anyone could gift your bridesmaids gorgeous jewelry…but gorgeous jewelry that feels personal to them? That can be your superpower. You can personalize their pieces with anything: their names, initials, birthstones, birth flowers…or even words or symbols that speak to your friendship or commemorate your wedding day.

We make it easy to personalize a piece for everyone in your crew that will make them feel special, seen, and appreciated for sticking by your side on one of the biggest days of your life.

Jewelry as a keepsake

A well-chosen piece can also tie together the overall look of your bridal party, making for effortlessly coordinated (but not overly matchy-matchy) wedding photos. And let’s be real—no one’s reaching for that “Bridesmaid” sash again, but a timeless necklace or chic pair of earrings? That’s a different story.

 

Beyond the jewelry: making your gift extra special

Below are some tips for how to really make your bridesmaid jewelry special. 

Select demi-fine (or fine) jewelry

Demi-fine jewelry is the perfect balance of high-quality and affordable—think 14k gold fill, gold vermeil, and sterling silver. (Though, of course, if it’s in your budget, you can never go wrong with fine jewelry, like 14k solid gold or 10k solid gold.)

We recommend this because your bridesmaids would rather have jewelry they can actually wear past your wedding day—not some fast-fashion pieces that will tarnish, rust, or collect dust in their jewelry boxes. More and more, quality takes precedence over quantity, and your wedding jewelry is no exception.

Pick a curated set for ease

Have a large bridal party, or want to create a cohesive look for your entire crew? Bundled by us and discounted for you, our bridesmaid jewelry sets are easy to personalize for up to seven bridesmaids! Each piece arrives at your doorstep separately packaged in our sleek gift-ready boxes, with letterpress cards to fill out at home. So you can ask, “Will you be my bridesmaid?” in a way that feels authentically you (and feels effortless, too). 

Speaking of curated sets…let’s dive into each of them now. (How about that for a segue? 😉)

 

Curated bridesmaid jewelry sets

Which set suits your wedding style?

Pick flowers for everyone’s personality

Have a floral moment with our Bridesmaid Flora Necklace Set: a bundle of 2-7 necklaces, each personalized with their own flower! Choose your wedding flowers, your bridal party’s birth flower necklace, or the flowers that represent each of them. This is our bestselling style from the entire Flora Collection and a fan-favorite for bridal parties year after year. Available in 14k gold fill, sterling silver, and 14k solid gold, so you can choose the metal that fits your vibe and budget.

 

Bejewel them in your wedding colors

Enter the ever-dainty Bridesmaid Gemstone Necklace Set, featuring our community’s favorite gemstone piece: the Aura Pendant Necklace. We love the idea of choosing your wedding colors (or a few favorite colors from your palette!) or opting for your bridal party’s birthstones, favorite colors, or gemstones that represent them. These pieces are tiny, shiny, and subtle enough to make a delicate statement on your wedding day…and be a piece they’ll want to wear all the years after. Available in 14k gold fill, sterling silver, and 10k solid gold.

 

Add their names to sleek bracelets

What’s a wedding look without a little wrist candy? The Bridesmaid Personalized Bracelet Set stars our Getty Bar Bracelet—the ideal midsize bracelet to make a subtle statement. Personalize each bracelet with a bridesmaid’s name, initial, or short phrase that represents your wedding or your relationship! The personalization is readable, yet small (think a whisper, not a shout), so it transitions from wedding day to everyday with ease.

 

Choose a letter they’ll each love

Enter: the bridesmaid necklace gift that fits them to a T (or A, or B, or C). Our Bridesmaid Initial Necklace Set features our daintiest Personalized Yue Necklaces, each with their own unique initial! As always, this set is available in 14k gold fill, sterling silver, and 14k solid gold—all high-quality metals that’ll last a lifetime.

 

Ways to elevate your bridesmaid jewelry gift

• Pair it with a handwritten note – A heartfelt message about how much they mean to you makes a beautiful gift even more special. Bonus points if you don’t make them cry too much.

• Upgrade the packaging – GLDN’s packaging is already gorgeous, but adding a ribbon in your wedding colors or a custom gift box elevates the moment.

• Personalization – If you want to go the extra mile, consider monogrammed gifts for bridesmaids (like an initial necklace or engraved bracelet) to make each piece feel uniquely theirs.

• Make it a moment – Instead of just handing over a jewelry box, surprise them with a special moment—maybe during a bridesmaid brunch, or while getting ready together on the big day.
