Would you wear the exact same dress as every other bride? Probably not – so why settle for a colourless centre stone if vivid hues make your heart race?

At Commins & Co we’re seeing more brides-to-be choose sapphires, emeralds and modern pastel gems that shout personality as loudly as they sparkle.

Few bridal accessories possess the poetic grace and enduring allure of drop pearl earrings. With their fluid elegance and understated opulence, they have long been favoured by brides seeking a refined, timeless expression of beauty. Neither ostentatious nor fleeting, drop pearl earrings combine tradition, femininity, and a quiet luxury that transcends fashion trends. If you’re a bride who understands that true elegance lies in simplicity, they will be your ultimate finishing touch.
When it comes to weddings, every detail matters — and the jewellery you choose should be just as special as the day itself. At Emma Rose Jewellery, we’re delighted to unveil our new Crystal Coloured Jewellery Collection: a kaleidoscope of shimmering teardrop necklace and earring sets, lovingly designed for the modern bridal party.
Whether you’re styling your bridesmaids, gifting the mother of the bride, or creating a custom look for a destination “I do,” our vibrant new pieces add just the right touch of colour, sparkle, and sentiment.

There’s a moment in every wedding day — a soft hush just before the bride walks down the aisle — when time seems to pause. In that precious breath, the back of her gown becomes a canvas for storytelling. At Emma Rose Jewellery, we believe the back deserves just as much love as the front. And so, with hearts full of romance and hands guided by artistry, we introduce our newest collection: Back Drape and Back Drop Necklaces, designed to enchant and captivate.
