Whether you’re driven by trend, seeking something contemporary, yearning for a timeless classic or yet to discover your statement jewellery, we are sure that you will find your perfect piece within our comprehensive selection of bridal jewellery.

We understand that finding the perfect bridal jewellery to complement your wedding day attire is by no means an afterthought. For some, the bridal jewellery holds more importance than the dress itself and is the centrepiece of the whole ensemble. Whatever your style or personality, our expert jewellery buyers have curated a selection of beautiful jewellery pieces to enhance your individual look.

The Classic Bride

The classic bridal look is complemented by carefully selected pieces of bridal jewellery that transcend the times and can be worn on any special occasion. Delicate pearls, yellow gold and diamonds never grow old, diversifying from the culture of trends and harnessing a timeless appeal.

Pearls have a beautiful lustrous appeal, and this yellow gold freshwater pearl and diamond necklace presents an alternative way to incorporate the classic pearl into your bridal jewellery. Presented on an 18-inch chain with the added sparkle of round brilliant cut diamonds, this is a beautiful and elegant way to wear diamonds and pearls. Pair it with our delicate pearl and diamond drop earrings for the perfect match on the big day.

The diamond will always be a timeless classic and this stunning yellow gold diamond pendant from our Libretto collection is symbolic of love and beauty. The scintillating 0.50ct Libretto diamond is a wonderful accent to this understated pendant which is superbly complemented by the Libretto diamond tennis bracelet, meticulously crafted in yellow gold, with 1.78ct of diamonds to ensure that you sparkle on your special day and beyond.

If you’re seeking a bangle with a hint of diamond, then this Roberto Coin 18ct yellow gold bangle features diamond accents in a floral design, subtly positioned around the metal. From the Love in Verona collection, and available in yellow, rose, or white gold with a signature hidden ruby on the inside of the bangle that represents a life full of happiness. This bangle is the epitome of love and romance just like the city of Verona after which the collection is named.

BRIDAL TYPES CONTEMPORARY BRIDE MW (1).png

The Contemporary Bride

The contemporary bridal look often extends beyond the classic colour palette of ivory and white and is embraced by those who wish to incorporate blush tones or a pop of colour into their wedding attire. Coloured gemstones, unique detailing and more unusual gemstone cuts are the perfect bridal jewellery complement for those who favour this style.

The oval cut diamond is seeing a resurgence in popularity and our Amelia platinum diamond oval engagement ring is a stunning representation of this cut. The exquisite centre stone is surrounded by a diamond halo and complemented by diamond set shoulders, creating a dramatic and romantic presentation. The Amelia diamond pendant, and matching diamond studs, presented in a white gold setting, echo the oval design of the Amelia engagement ring and are the perfect timeless companion for the contemporary bride.

For the bride seeking something blue, or simply looking to add a pop of colour to her ensemble, Kiki McDonough’s blue topaz and diamond pendant is simply divine. Set in 18ct yellow gold with Kiki’s signature cushion cut stone, and suspended on a diamond loop, it has a modern vintage appeal. Paired with the matching earrings which can be worn as either a diamond hoop or together with the blue topaz to match the necklace, these contemporary earrings can adapt to any occasion.

BRIDAL TYPES MODERN BRIDE MW.png

The Modern Bride

The modern bridal look is embraced by those prepared to re-write the rule book on bridal fashion and jewellery. Embracing trends yet also willing to push the boundaries and showcase a much more unique and individual look that can be mixed, matched, or layered up according to the occasion or mood.

The Gossamer 18ct white gold multiple ring features 7 round brilliant cut diamonds that dance across the multiple layers to present a non-uniform yet superb aesthetic. Its creative design, ideal for stacking, breaks the mould of tradition and is perfect for the modern bride who seeks to be different. If you’re in love with the Gossamer design but are looking for a slightly less complex band, then the Gossamer white gold five stone diamond ring echoes the modern signature of the diamond setting, yet on a single band, perfect as an eternity ring or for any special occasion.

Also from the Gossamer collection, this 18ct white gold and diamond necklace is on a 34-inch chain, enabling you to be creative with the way in which you wear it, layering to the lengths that suit you, your style, or the occasion. Wear with the matching Gossamer diamond drop earrings to elevate your look, or the matching 3 stone earrings that subtly climb the ear lobe whilst showcasing individuality.

BRIDAL TYPES ROMANTIC BRIDE MW.png

The Romantic Bride

The romantic bridal look embraces delicate detailing and scintillating diamonds, with bridal jewellery needing to fit into that narrative. There’s something for everyone if you wish to achieve this look, it’s all about the sparkle. Whether less is more or more is more, the delicate detailing and superb craftsmanship will certainly harness the romance of the big day.

Our Masquerade diamond necklace set in 18ct white gold exudes sparkle with its 3 round brilliant cut diamonds in a romantic floral illusion setting. The matching Masquerade diamond bracelet is wonderfully delicate, featuring 3 round brilliant cut diamonds in a floral illusion setting to complement the necklace, that sparkle with every turn of the wrist, and for added brilliance the matching Masquerade diamond drop earrings will elevate your look even further.

If you’re a fan of ‘less is more’ but adore the floral illusion setting of the Masquerade collection, then the diamond pendant is a superb choice. With 0.68ct of diamonds, you won’t go unnoticed in this pure and simple timeless classic. And if you’re seeking a bangle, the Masquerade 18ct white gold open bangle features diamonds at either end of the opening, still embracing the signature 3 stone design.
