Weddings seem to be quite formal affairs still, with beautiful dresses, flowers and jewellery. I have noticed that earrings are some of the most important accessories to the wedding dress, more so, in fact, than a necklace. Sometimes, simple pearl stud earrings are all that is needed but I have pulled together a selection of more noticeable earrings that might be suitable for a wedding.

The vintage rose gold diamond earrings in the photo at the top of the post are stunning. The diamonds curl around in a loop at the top of the earrings before flowing downwards, ending in a flexible diamond tail. The earrings move gently as the head is turned.

Vintage moonstone and diamond drop earrings set in white gold

The moonstone and diamond earrings above, also vintage, are a very sophisticated and structured look. The earrings are white gold. The top of the earrings is a long hollow length with a border of diamonds and with a lovely central flower design. Two oval moonstones are attached as drops.

Vintage aquamarine drop earrings

The next earrings are one way to satisfy the ‘something blue’ tradition for a bride. These drop earrings are comprised of three beautiful aquamarines in each drop. The aquamarines have a lovely depth of blue colour.

Vintage opal and diamond drop earrings earrings

The vintage opal and diamond earrings are another pair of drop earrings, comprising four oval white opals supported by diamond drops. Again, the earrings have a lovely movement.

Amethyst and paste drop earrings

The final earrings are a more delicate look, comprised of amethysts and white paste stones. They are also drop earrings and are set in yellow gold.
