For Her: special wedding rings from N.Z. and bridal jewellery

Brides often seek jewellery that enhances their beauty while complementing their wedding dress. A well-chosen pearl necklace set for your wedding, or unique cufflinks for him, can become a cherished heirloom for generations. And first things first, this set needs to match the engagement ring!

Wedding rings NZ : a promise of forever

If you're searching for the finest wedding rings NZ (New Zealand) has to offer, here’s what to consider.
The engagement ring is one of the most significant pieces of jewellery a bride will ever wear.

It symbolises love, devotion, and the beginning of a lifelong journey together. Choosing the right ring is a deeply personal decision, reflecting both individual style and the uniqueness of the relationship. Many brides searching for a wedding ring opt for classic solitaires, modern designs, or custom-made rings featuring pearls and diamonds. Whether you prefer a timeless gold ring or a contemporary setting, your engagement ring will forever remind you of the moment you said 'yes' to forever. Here’s some advice for choosing the perfect wedding ring with a rare paua pearl:

Consider the grade:

• A: This is our best grade. A-grade pearls are perfect—no defects in texture or appearance. The pearl is clean with high lustre.
• B1: Almost perfect! It may have a minor detail preventing it from being an A grade.
• B2: Very good, but with visible defects that some people actually love, like the conchiolin line—one of the layers. A black line that contributes to the pearl's colour. It can sometimes show a landscape effect.
• C1: The surface of this pearl is more spotted, and the texture is less smooth.
• C2: The texture here is more varied, giving an orange peel effect. Like the B2 and C1 grades, some may have the conchiolin.
• C3: This is the last grade. Though we appreciate its imperfections, it still has visible flaws compared to the other grades, particularly in texture. For this grade, you’ll be able to feel the blemishes by touch.

We love every grade of our pearls, and each one is guaranteed to last forever with a unique colour that will never fade.

Now, about the size: we offer different pearl sizes, ranging from 6mm to 13mm. Depending on your preference, we also have various shapes, including round and teardrop.

And finally, the colours:

• Blue: This is a VERY GOOD colour, as blue pearls are rare worldwide.
• Regular: This means the pearl shows two colours, such as green and blue or purple and blue.
• Orient: This means the pearl displays three or more colours, creating a lovely rainbow effect that can appear slightly different depending on the light.
• When choosing the perfect wedding ring in NZ, consider quality and design. Each of our pearls is unique. You won’t find two that are the same, which is why they make the perfect choice for your wedding jewellery set.

Bracelets: Subtle Yet Stunning

A bracelet adds a touch of sparkle to your wrist, whether you choose a delicate chain with diamonds or a bangle. Consider matching it with your wedding ring or your pearl necklace set for wedding for a seamless aesthetic.

Bridal Earrings: A Subtle Statement

Earrings are a staple of bridal jewellery, offering elegance without overwhelming the overall look. Whether you opt for delicate studs, pearl drops, or hoop earrings, bridal earrings add a touch of sophistication. Our favourite bridal earrings would be the stud earrings in one of the rarest pearls in the world: the blue pearl. It’s a stunning choice, especially if you have blue eyes. 

If you're unsure which style to choose, here's some advice to help ensure your earrings complement your face shape.

Round Face

• Best bridal earring style: Long, angular earrings like cascading drops.
• Why: They help elongate your face and add definition. Avoid circular earrings, as they may make your face appear rounder.

Oval Face

• Best bridal earring style: Almost any style works, but especially studs, hoops, and chandelier earrings.
• Why: Oval faces are versatile, and you can experiment with various earring shapes. Choose earrings that complement your features without overwhelming them.

Square Face

• Best bridal earring style: Soft, rounded shapes like hoops or curved drop earrings.
• Why: Rounded earrings soften the angular features of a square face, balancing sharp jawlines and cheekbones.

Heart-Shaped Face

• Best bridal earring style: Teardrop, chandelier, or teardrop earrings.
• Why: These styles create balance by drawing attention downward, complementing a narrow chin and wider forehead.

Diamond-Shaped Face

• Best bridal earring style: Long, oval, or drop earrings.
• Why: These styles help soften the high cheekbones and narrow chin, bringing attention to the eyes and creating balance.

Oblong or Rectangular Face

• Best bridal earring style: Hoops or studs.
• Why: These styles add width to your face and break up the length, creating a balanced look.

Here’s some advice to help you choose the best bands for you:

Consider Your Lifestyle:

If you’re active or work with your hands, choose a durable material like tungsten, titanium, or platinum. These materials are strong, scratch-resistant, and can withstand daily wear.

For a more classic, elegant look, gold (yellow, white, or rose) or platinum is a great option, offering both beauty and longevity.

Fit and Comfort:

A comfort fit band has a rounded interior, making it feel more comfortable, especially for daily wear.

Ensure the band is appropriately sized to avoid discomfort, particularly if you plan to wear it constantly. If you're unsure of your size, getting professionally measured is always best.
 
And of course, make sure the bands reflect both of your personalities. When you look at them, they should remind you of all the best things that your wedding brings to you.
 

Making the Right Choice

When selecting your wedding jewellery, consider factors like your dress style, personal taste, and the overall wedding theme. Whether it's bridal earrings, a pearl necklace set for your wedding, or cufflinks, these pieces will serve as cherished reminders of your special day.

By choosing thoughtfully, your jewellery will enhance your wedding look and become treasured keepsakes that hold the memories of your love story.
