what would you girls do? I need help with jewelry

so I am looking now for my bridal jewelry. I want pearls.

I found these first two pieces that I like on sale. it would come out to about $125 for both.

however, I just found these two that I LOVE, but combined it would be $500

then, there is always the great choker debate...which one would look better with my dress....(the dress that if it wasn't so damn expensive, I'd be more inclined to spend on the pieces I LOVE but I digress )

here are all the pics.

I love the pearl choker for your gown. Isn't that what the model wearing the Reem your dress is based on wearing? With that neckline, it wuold be beautiful.

I love all the BM jewlery you picked...but I hear you on spending $$...I have 8 girls and have spent about $175 on each (thankfully, that's all paid for, I started early) which was way too much. I couldn't help myself.

Did you check out any of the online websites for something similar to what you picked? Everyone seems to be having sales now.

I'm no help, either. That choker would look great with your dress. Maybe Qiana can find you something similar at a lower price? She seems to know how to find everything....

Re: what would you girls do? I need help with jewelry

I personally would not spend the dough just yet on the jewels. Especially with the surprise increase in the total price for the dress. I would possibly reconsider if I had a special event or two that I would wear them to. But even then, I don't think I would do it.... they would however, make for a fabulous anniversary gift.

Well said.

I love the Choker more than anything else, and I would pair it up with a simple earring - such as a post pearl set. I think any other earring would take away from the choker and in turn take away from the dress.

One FOCAL point.

Re: what would you girls do? I need help with jewelry

I just wanted to post again to say that I am not a fan of the choker. I think the beading on the dress and the dramatic neckline needs to be 'soft and flowy' (at least in my head) and a choker will bring the eyes to the throat area...it should be brought down to the decolletage, hence why I love the second 'y' necklace.

Call me crazy...

Jess I have to agree with Sasha. Since your dress is V-neck a 'y' necklace would complete it beautifully.

POST THE PIC OF THE MODEL IN YOUR DRESS...SHE'S WEARING THE CHOKER...LOVE IT WITH YOUR LONG ARSE NECK!

YES, I'M DISAGREEING WITH S AND Q....

Re: what would you girls do? I need help with jewelry

I don't even think I've ever seen your dress!!

But guessing by what the girls are saying, maybe you can go with something like these?? (They are all under $100)

actually, the model has the best of both worlds going on...since the dress is deep v's in both the front AND back, she has a choker that has a lariat in the back....so it goes down her back.

we are on the same page today my friend, cause I agree.

I love the look of the choker it pulls the look together so well. I would pair it with a stud of some sort, but hey that is just me and the title is what would you girls (me) do. Something about the neckline with the choker... does it for me.

I would type more but I just noticed I am mysteriously bleeding on to my keyboard...
