Diamond or Pearl Necklace to Pair with your Wedding Dress?

When choosing accessories for your wedding dress, you may be faced with a puzzling (albeit fabulous) dilemma: pearls or diamonds for wedding? Here is the rundown on traditional statistics and some great wedding jewelry options.

Traditionally, the rule of thumb is that if your dress has sparkles or embellishments, you should stick to pearls, or mix pearls and diamonds. If your dress isn’t sparkly, then it is preferable for you to go with diamonds.

Obviously a number of factors play into this decision, but take a look at some examples of wedding jewelry from the Raymond Lee Jewelers showroom:
