musey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,179 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 9/30/2006	I'm curious to see what everyone's planning to or thinking of wearing! Do you have lots of glittery jewels, or just a couple understated pieces?

misysu2 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 821 Last Post: 12/5/2008 Member Since: 3/14/2007	Hi Musey, Don't have my dress quite picked out yet, but I always loved the look of a simple dress with a nontraditional necklace, like this one http://www.shopnbc.com/product/?familyid=J300510&storeid=1&page=LIST&free_text=mother%20of%20pearl&category=Jewelry\|t305&prop=Necklaces\|174&catprop=174&track=-20101&cm_re=SearchList-_-N-_-N (wouldn't let me save pic). Something chunky and fun! Now, whether I actually go this route or not depends on how simple a dress I end up with and how sparkly it is.

labbielove Ideal Rock Total Posts: 862 Last Post: 8/27/2008 Member Since: 6/28/2006	I went understated, as I normally don't wear a ton of jewelry. I do admire so many of those more dangly chandelier(sp?) earrings, but would have needed a simpler gown for those. I wore these beauties from Eves Addiction- loved them http://www.evesaddiction.com/detail_ERP10006__540.html And a bracelet from whiteaisle similar to this, but they don't have mine anymore http://www.whiteaisle.com/four_row_pearl_bracelet.htm

misysu2 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 821 Last Post: 12/5/2008 Member Since: 3/14/2007	Ooh! Labbie-- if I get a sparkly dress and forego the beaded necklace, I planned on getting a whiteaisle bracelet too! The big sparkly bracelets like that remind me of glamous old movie actresses. I also love this look-- a splash of color and can coordinate if you put feathers in your bouquet--

musey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,179 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 9/30/2006	AceP, those green amethysts are to-die-for!! I'm wearing the small diamond studs my parents gifted me for my 21st (might re-set them into bezels first, they're in baskets now), ~.75 ctw (but I'm not sure), my e-ring and this necklace. Very simple for me!

luckystar112 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,797 Last Post: 11/16/2009 Member Since: 1/8/2007	I totally wanted to copy Jcrows sparkly earrings from her wedding, but then I was looking at sweetpea's wedding stuff, and saw that she had copied jcrow already....which wouldn't be a big deal, but I unknowingly copied sweetpea's dress! So to have the same dress AND earrings as her? lol. Not that I think copying is a bad thing...believe me I plan on doing a whole lot of it so keep posting pics. But I don't want to copy sweetpea's TOTAL wedding ensemble style. I think I may go with pearl drop earrings instead, if I can find some pretty ones with swavorski crystals or something.

Corseted Rough Rock Total Posts: 82 Last Post: 10/20/2007 Member Since: 6/2/2007	This is the bracelet I'll be wearing. I got a jeweler to copy it from Tiffany's Victoria bracelet. Each stone is 0.2 cts. I absolutely love it. I do have a wedding set but I'm still thinking about whether to wear it. I will be posting pictures of my wedding gown in another thread. I'm not loving it right now....so maybe you guys could give me your honest opinion.

The color is amazing - like a minty green. I'm thinking earrings and a necklace might be in order!

Pandora II Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,272 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 8/3/2006	Just a quick note that I hope no-one gets offended by. There is no such thing as natural 'green amethyst' - there is a thread on it in the coloured stone forum. Richard M's comments were that it is heated amethyst or citrine quartz from some where in Brazil. It's called 'prasiolite' which means 'leek green' in Greek, and should be pretty cheap in price. The colour can apparently fade with exposure to the sun.

AceP Cut Rock Total Posts: 311 Last Post: 12/22/2008 Member Since: 5/28/2006	Yup, i've heard that it's heated amethyst. I'm not really worried about it not being of the same "category" as sapphires or rubies - I just think the color is gorgeous! And, of course, since it's cheaper you can get substantial-sized pieces, which is nice.

Cool, I just wanted to make sure that no-one was getting ripped-off by some unscrupulous salesman - and throw out the warning about the colour fading. They are very pretty I agree - and bigger is always good!

I've tried it on- made me sad it wasn't the one! I hope you can find it someone near you!

shigidigi Cut Rock Total Posts: 399 Last Post: 9/7/2009 Member Since: 2/11/2007	Thanks for reminding us of that Pandora! I always see the stones listed as "green quartz" and yes it is usually fairly inexpensive, so when I saw the link Harleigh posted I was so shocked!!! Oh well, the hunt continues for awesome wedding jewelry!

Starset Princess Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,475 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 11/24/2004	Assuming I wear the dress I picked out three years ago with a future beau - I had bought this necklace and matching earrings. From not that far away the bottom pearls appear to be floating and the 'dance' when your body moves. I loved the look of them with my V-neck vintage dress.

Circe Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,847 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 4/26/2007	My wedding necklace - it was a gift from my parents on my last birthday, coincidentally the day that we told them that we were getting married! So, doubly significant ... it's going to be my "something blue" (well, one of many somethings, as it's my favorite color). We're eloping on a beach, so it'll either be worn with a simple strapless white cotton dress, or with a peacock-colored, v-necked Nicole Miller dress (we're getting married Monday, and I haven't decided yet - eek!). Rich yellow gold, rough yellow diamonds, and a Paraiba tourmaline ....

Circe Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,847 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 4/26/2007	And, Version 2: A little more typically me .... The Peacock Dress gets its name from, a) the color, b) the fact that though you can't see it, it has the only flattering butt-bow in the world ... what could otherwise be termed a tail, and c) the gold and silver peacock feathers embroidered over the bodice.

I'm already searching for the tsavs - around 5mm I think. Tiara - If I can lay my hands on a really good one. I would love one of the ones in the Royal Jewels thread in Hangout. Necklace - My vintage 1940's japanese pearls:

Picked out over Thanksgiving, my something borrowed: My mom's peridot and opal ring, set in yellow gold, given to her by her father - my namesake who I never met. SOrry for the crappy webcam picture
