Wedding Jewellery

What jewellery should you wear to a wedding?

The wedding jewellery set you choose as a wedding guest should be comfortable for all-day wear, elegant, and never outshine the bride. It’s important to match pieces to the venue of the wedding, and our recommendations for each are:

• Formal/Black-Tie weddings call for bold, sparkling accessories. A diamond necklace is a popular option, as well as pearls and statement drop earrings 
• Casual/Garden celebrations are more relaxed, making them the perfect place to show off huggie hoops, colourful gemstones, and flower-inspired jewellery
• Beach weddings are an ideal place to wear simple, delicate jewellery, with coastal-inspired pieces popular to capture the aesthetic of the day 

Can I wear pearls to a wedding?

Yes, you can wear wedding jewellery with pearls to a wedding. Whether you’re the bride or a guest, pearls are a timeless choice to bring an element of elegance to a wedding-day look. Whilst they’re a traditional option, contemporary trends are bringing sculptural shapes to wedding jewellery to suit modern wardrobes better. 

Options like our coveted Kelly Paperlink Pearl Bracelet blend the timelessness of pearl wedding jewellery with a unique chain link, creating a piece that stands out in every stack. Each pearl in our collection is sourced from freshwater origins, creating a one-of-a-kind feel for each piece. 

Can I wear diamonds to a wedding?

With the opulence that wedding jewellery with diamonds brings, they’re an ideal option to wear to a wedding. Diamond wedding jewellery is a beautiful option for formal celebrations, creating stacks that sparkle every time the light catches them. 

For a more affordable wedding jewellery look, our Moissanite collection holds a diamond-like finish whilst maintaining a luxurious feel. These sustainable stones are created in labs, each with a unique, fiery shine that draws the eye to your accessories. They’re a popular option for wedding jewellery gifts, as their closeness to diamonds on the Mohs scale of hardness makes them indistinguishable from the precious stones. 

What are some wedding jewellery trends?

There are several popular wedding jewellery trends in 2026, with personalisation and bold designs standing out as top priorities this year. Key wedding jewellery trends include:

• Mixed metal stacks are popular in wedding jewellery trends in New Zealand this year, combining gold and silver pieces for a modern look 
• Bold & sculptural pieces are becoming more popular in modern wedding jewellery stacks, moving away from delicate, minimalist designs 
• Customisation is a popular way to help represent your narrative, with personalised wedding necklaces particularly popular 
• Versatile "Tennis” jewellery styles, with wedding bracelets and necklaces in high demand in the classic tennis diamond style, because of their versatility 

What jewellery is appropriate for a wedding?

There are many different types of wedding-appropriate jewellery, with minimalist options a safe bet as they won’t outshine the bride. A subtle collection of chain necklaces creates an effortless layered look, allowing you to represent your aesthetic preferences in a wedding-appropriate way. 

How do I choose wedding jewellery?

Choosing your wedding jewellery set depends on your aesthetic preferences, the venue, and the outfit you’re wearing. Formal looks allow for a more opulent wedding jewellery stack, whilst casual ceremonies are the perfect match for minimalist wedding jewellery looks.
