Day of Jewelry - POLL

Day of Jewelry - POLL

These are my Day of Earrings:

I've been looking and looking for a matching necklace and bracelet and contemplated just wearing a thick bracelet, but to be honest, I am NOT petite and the whole 'thick cuff/bracelet' just makes me look heavier in the arm/wrist

Last night I had my makeup done at the Clinique counter in Macy's (just wanted to try out some colors) and passed by to check to see if anything new was in for the Eliot Danori jewelry line (they have great pieces that would work for a wedding or special occassion, but I hadn't found anything that worked with my earrings... until last night!!!)

I found two sets that I think would work. In person it looks like it's platinum and diamonds - very sparkly but not fakey-fakey sparkly. Sorry, no pics of my dress, but let's just say it's strapless, dip in the neckline (not sweetheart, just a soft dip), with crystals in the bust area). Please let me know what you think.
*They didn't photograph so well - and trust me, I tried. They look better in person, but here goes...*

This is the first set - necklace and bracelet:

This is the second set - just necklace. I would probably just wear a simple bracelet with this.

Ignore the difference in hairdo's - I got hot and put up my hair! Oh, and yeah I need to do my roots!!!

ETA: Duh, should have added a third option for the poll 'Neither/Keep looking'. So if you don't like either set, can you post that too? Thanks.

Well why not wear set #1 without the necklace? The earrings and that bracelet are perfect together, and since you have crystals on the bust of your dress you don't necessarily need a necklace.... i'm a big fan of less is more, but honestly they're ALL beautiful and you're a gorgeous girl so you'll look great with any of those combos

Set #2, I have the same earrings in yellow gold, but am not wearing a necklace, I have beading on the bust of my dress. I love the way #2 looks, #1 looks too heavy for me.JMHO

Well I feel like the pieces are so pretty, I almost want to say BLING IT OUT! Wear it all.

But Im personally just going with two pieces...since I have a lace jacket, I dont want to much going on up top so no necklace, only earrings and bracelet.

But you got me thinking...I def dont have small wrists..not a petite girl and now im thinking over the idea of a three strand pearl bracelet which may look really clunky/chunky on me.

Re: Day of Jewelry - POLL

I think both are really beautiful but if I had to choose one I think I would go with necklace #2 because it adds just a little bit of bling! You can totally wear the bracelet with either necklace because it matches the earings!

Yesenia, I think either necklace would look perfect with your dress If you don't feel comfortable with a thick bracelet, then I wouldn't wear it. You are going to be a GORGEOUS bride!!!!

I LOVE Eliot Danori!!!! 1 of my favs!!! I wish they had some of his stuff for my wedding when I went Macys had barely anything! I LOVE both! I think #1 gives a WOW factor! But either 1 is awesome!!!

Re: Day of Jewelry - POLL

I like the second set, although they're both just as nice!

Re: Day of Jewelry - POLL

Thanks everyone!!! I was leaning more towards #2 because it's blingy but still a little subtle, but I really like how #1 matches.

My mom had suggested doing the #2 necklace with the bracelet and that seemed like a popular third option from you lovely ladies so THANK YOU!!!! I'll have to try it all on with my dress when it comes in (June-ish) and see which looks best on.
