by Noortje van Hilten on May 31 2026

A wedding is the moment to shine — whether you are the bride or you are coming to celebrate as a guest. But which jewelry do you wear in 2026, and how do you find the balance between sparkling and tasteful? In this guide you will find the prettiest jewelry for the big day, neatly split between the bride and the guest, with tips to combine it all perfectly.

Bridal jewelry 2026: model wearing cubic zirconia earrings by Lundholm

The common thread for weddings in 2026? Sparkling cubic zirconia, refined gold-tone and silver-tone finishes, and jewelry that completes your look without taking over. Every piece below is made from premium stainless steel or titanium with a gold-tone or silver-tone finish: waterproof, hypoallergenic and color-fast — so you can keep celebrating all day (and all night). Take a look at our full bridal collection, or read which jewelry is in style in 2026.

For the bride: subtle, timeless & sparkling

As the bride you want jewelry that lifts your dress without stealing the attention. Choose one clear accent — sparkling earrings or a fine necklace — and keep the rest refined. A hand chain or a delicate necklace completes the bridal look and photographs beautifully.

For the wedding guest: chic statement

As a guest you can be a little bolder — as long as you do not outshine the bride. A pair of statement earrings or a layered necklace gives your gala look that little bit extra. Combine it with a chain bracelet for a finished result.

Earrings that sparkle

At a wedding, earrings are your most important piece of jewelry: they sit close to your face and come into their own with your hair up. From refined cubic zirconia drops to a subtle leaf motif — choose what suits the neckline of your dress and the mood of the day.

A ring with that diamond look

No wedding without a little sparkle on your hand. A ring with a clear cubic zirconia gives you exactly that classic diamond look — perfect for a guest, and a lovely second piece for the bride alongside her wedding band. Bonus: our rings are adjustable, so the fit is always right.

Arm candy: bracelets for the big day

A fine bracelet finishes your look, especially with a short-sleeved or sleeveless dress. Keep it delicate with a heart bracelet, or add several fine layers for a little extra shine at your wrist.

Necklaces to complete your dress

Whether your neckline is open or closed high: the right necklace makes all the difference. With an open neckline, a fine necklace with a pendant looks beautiful; with a busier neckline, keep it subtle or leave it off altogether and let your earrings do the work.

How to combine your wedding jewelry

The golden rule: choose one eye-catcher and keep the rest refined. A few simple guidelines that always work:

  • Statement earrings? Skip the necklaceBig earrings need calm around them — leave the neckline bare or keep it very fine.
  • Open neckline = necklace momentA fine necklace with a pendant fills an open neckline beautifully.
  • Match your metal to your dress detailsGold-tone with warm, ivory shades; silver-tone with cool, bright whites.
  • Cubic zirconia = the diamond lookSparkling and festive, without the price tag of a diamond.

Because all our jewelry is waterproof and hypoallergenic, you can dance, toast and cry happy tears without a second thought — your jewelry stays beautiful all day long.

Frequently asked questions about wedding jewelry

What jewelry do you wear to a wedding as a guest?

As a guest you can go a little bolder: statement earrings, a layered necklace or a sparkling cubic zirconia ring. Stick to one eye-catcher and make sure you do not outshine the bride — so avoid a full white bridal look.

What jewelry does the bride wear?

The bride usually chooses refined, timeless jewelry that lifts the dress without taking over: sparkling cubic zirconia earrings, a delicate necklace with an open neckline, or an elegant hand chain. One clear accent is enough.

Gold-tone or silver-tone for a wedding?

Choose the color that suits your dress: gold-tone looks warm and flatters ivory and cream shades, silver-tone reads cool and fresh against bright white. Not sure? Cubic zirconia in a neutral setting works with both.

Which earrings suit an updo or a wedding dress?

With your hair up, earrings really come into their own — so feel free to choose drop earrings or cubic zirconia teardrops. With your hair down or a busy neckline, refined studs or smaller drops look best.

Is cubic zirconia jewelry suitable for a wedding?

Absolutely. Cubic zirconia has the same sparkling, clear look as a diamond, which makes it ideal for a festive occasion. Our cubic zirconia jewelry is also waterproof and hypoallergenic.

What makes a good jewelry gift for the bride?

A timeless, refined piece she will keep wearing after the wedding: a pair of cubic zirconia earrings, a delicate necklace with a pendant or an elegant hand chain. Take a look at our bridal collection for inspiration.
