There’s something undeniably magical about a winter wedding, the crisp air, frosted landscapes and that quiet sense of romance that seems to hang in the stillness of the season. If you’re dreaming of a winter celebration that feels both elegant and ethereal a baby blue wedding theme might be your perfect match. Soft, serene and effortlessly romantic, this delicate hue captures the essence of winter skies and icy elegance — while bringing a touch of “something blue” to your day.
A Palette of Winter Dreams
Baby blue is a colour that whispers rather than shouts , the embodiment of grace and calm. When paired with crisp white and silver it creates a sophisticated palette reminiscent of glacial sparkle and morning frost. Touches of soft grey, dusty blue, or pale blush can add depth, while gold accents bring a warm, candlelit glow to the cool tones. Together, these hues form a dreamscape of winter wonder that feels timeless and refined.

Bridal Jewellery to Reflect the Ice-Kissed Palette
Your jewellery should echo the story your theme tells. Think sparkling crystals, freshwater pearls and soft silver tones — a combination that shimmers gently without overpowering your look. A teardrop cut crystal earring set or a dainty pearl drop can add that touch of frosty glamour, complementing both classic and modern gowns beautifully. For a bride embracing winter’s light, jewellery with a hint of pale blue stone or pearls feels especially fitting.
Hair Accessories for the Snow Queen Bride
A winter-inspired headpiece can complete your bridal look with enchanting grace. Consider a crystal-encrusted hair vine, a pearl-dusted comb or a tiara that sparkles like ice under candlelight. Baby blue accents — whether a hint of Swarovski crystal, hand-painted enamel leaves or snowflakes bring the theme to life in a subtle, romantic way. For brides wearing soft curls or elegant updos, these delicate touches will catch the light beautifully as you move, creating a magical, fairy-tale effect.

Why Brides Choose Pearls
Pearls have long been associated with love, purity, and new beginnings, making them an ideal choice for a wedding day. Their soft, luminous glow complements every complexion and pairs beautifully with lace, satin, silk, or tulle gowns. Whether your wedding is a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, pearls add a touch of refined elegance to any bridal look.
From Simple to Statement
At Emma Rose Jewellery, our pearl bridal collection offers something for every bride:
- Delicate pearl drop earrings for a subtle, romantic look.
- Classic pearl necklaces that sit gracefully against sweetheart or off-the-shoulder necklines.
- Statement pearl and crystal jewellery sets that combine traditional pearls with modern sparkle.
Many of our brides also choose to pair their pearl jewellery with matching hair accessories, such as pearl combs, pins, or tiaras, to create a seamless and polished bridal style.
A New Chapter for Family Heirlooms
For brides who wish to carry a piece of family history down the aisle, Emma Rose Jewellery also offers a bespoke upcycling service. Precious family pearls, perhaps from a grandmother’s necklace or a mother’s treasured crown, can be lovingly reimagined into modern jewellery or bespoke bridal hair accessories. This not only breathes new life into sentimental pieces but also ensures they remain part of your story, creating a deeply meaningful connection between past, present, and future.
A Twist on the Classic Pearl
While timeless ivory pearls will always be a bridal favourite, many modern brides are embracing soft colours for a unique twist. Blush-toned pearls add a hint of romantic warmth, beautifully complementing rose-gold details or pastel wedding palettes. For brides seeking a delicate “something blue,” our blue pearl jewellery offers a subtle yet striking way to weave tradition into your bridal look. These soft shades give a fresh, contemporary update to classic pearl jewellery, while still retaining all the elegance and symbolism brides adore.
Pearls Beyond the Wedding Day
One of the most beautiful things about pearls is their versatility. A pearl pendant or pair of earrings can be worn again long after the wedding, becoming a treasured keepsake that carries memories of your special day. They also make thoughtful gifts for bridesmaids, mothers of the bride, or as an anniversary surprise.
Timeless Elegance, Handcrafted with Love
Every piece at Emma Rose Jewellery is handcrafted with care, blending luxury pearls, high-quality crystals, and modern design to create jewellery that feels as unique as your love story. Whether you are drawn to simple elegance or sparkling statement pieces, pearl jewellery remains a forever favourite for brides who want to feel both classic and radiant.

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?
From red-carpet proposals to TikTok unboxings, coloured gemstone engagement rings are exploding in 2025. 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. Below, discover the four gemstones dominating mood boards, how to style each one, and the practical tips that turn a Pinterest crush into an heirloom you’ll adore forever.
1) Royal Sapphire – Forever Iconic
Ever since Princess Diana’s oval sapphire made history (and now graces the Duchess of Cambridge’s hand), deep-blue corundum has been the shortcut to regal romance. Sapphire rates 9 on the Mohs scale, making it second only to diamond for durability—ideal for daily wear.
How to style it
- Metal match: Platinum or white gold intensify sapphire’s cool tones; yellow gold warms them for a vintage vibe.
- Shoulder sparkle: Add a pavé band for star-bath brilliance, or halo it with petite lab-grown diamonds to maximise perceived size without murdering the budget.
- Wedding-ring pairing: A slim diamond-set wedding ring echoes the halo and keeps the focus on that mesmerising blue.
2) Emerald – Green with Envy (in the Best Way)
Emerald’s lush hue symbolises new beginnings—perfect engagement symbolism. It does, however, sit at Mohs 7.5-8, so a protective setting is key.
How to style it
-
- Bezel brilliance: Encasing the girdle in gold shields the stone while creating Art-Deco chic.
- Yellow-gold magic: Emerald + yellow gold = rich, old-Hollywood glamour that photographs like a dream.
- Straight-edge band: Because emerald-cut stones feature clean lines, pair yours with a channel-set or plain metal band for architectural harmony.
3) Morganite – Millennial Pink Romance
Peachy-pink morganite shot to fame when trend-setting brides wanted blush-toned rings to match rose-gold décor palettes. Its affordability lets you choose a larger carat without sacrificing clarity or hue.
How to style it
- Rose-gold on rose-gold: The warm metal amplifies morganite’s feminine glow.
- Double-halo drama: Surround a round morganite with twin halos of petite diamonds—unapologetically extra and oh-so-Instagrammable.
- Stacking future: Pair with a skinny rose-gold engagement-ring guard for anniversaries; the tonal blend feels effortless.
4) Aquamarine – Something Blue, Something Cool
Pale-blue aquamarine offers icy brilliance for brides who adore colour but crave subtlety. With a hardness of 7.5-8, it resists scratching better than most gemstones in its palette range.
-
How to style it
- Platinum perfection: The white metal makes aquamarine look almost ethereal.
- Mixed-metal moment: Can’t pick one metal? Combine platinum claws with a yellow-gold band for the on-trend two-tone look.
- Snow-queen halo: Frame the gem in icy lab-grown diamonds to echo frosted winter scenes—ideal for Christmas proposals.
Lab Grown or Natural Gemstones?
Just like diamonds, the most popular gemstones are also available in either lab grown or natural versions. At Commins and Co, we offer both options where possible.
Lab grown gemstones are great for getting colour consistency which can sometimes be an issue with natural gemstones. This inconsistency in natural stones should be considered part of their beauty and their uniqueness is a key feature in why they are popular. However, for anyone concerned about colour variations and imperfections in their gemstone, lab grown versions offer a great alternative.
Available in a wide range of sizes and shapes, we strive to have the best range available.
Practical Tips Before You Say “Colour Me Engaged!”
- See the stone in daylight – Jewellers’ LEDs can mask or exaggerate tones. Step outside to ensure the hue makes your heart flutter in real life.
- Mind matching – If you plan his-and-hers rings, decide whether you’ll echo the gemstone colour in his band via subtle inlay or keep the spotlight solely on yours.
- Check toughness – Softer gems aren’t deal-breakers, but they do need bezel settings or halo “buffers.”
- Budget smart with lab diamonds – Surround coloured centres with sustainable sparklers to boost wow-factor without inflating price tags.
- Plan the stack – A slim contour band leaves room for future anniversary or eternity rings, ensuring your gemstone remains centre stage.
Ready to Paint Your Love Story in Colour?
Pop into Commins & Co’s Dublin showroom where our stylists will guide you through every shade of the rainbow – from royal blue to blush pink. Try on halos, hidden-halo solitaires, toi-et-moi settings and vintage-inspired bezels until you find the hue that feels 100 percent you. Then let us hand-craft a ring that turns heads today and tells your technicolour love story for generations.

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.
The Quintessence of Bridal Refinement
Pearls have forever been synonymous with purity and grace, qualities that lie at the heart of the classic bridal look. When suspended delicately from gold, platinum, or diamond-accented settings, drop pearls take on an even more enchanting quality. They’ll sway gently with your every movement, creating a soft interplay of light and form to flatter your face and draw the eye without feeling overwhelming.
If you favour a classic bridal aesthetic, drop pearl earrings are a natural choice harmonising beautifully with traditional lace, duchess satin, or tulle gowns. Yet their versatility ensures they are equally at home with contemporary silhouettes: minimalist sheath dresses, tailored jumpsuits, or off-the-shoulder creations all find a perfect partner in the clean lines of a well-proportioned pearl drop.
Tailored Elegance for Every Bridal Style
The beauty of drop pearl earrings lies not only in their elegance, but in their adaptability. If you’re inspired by Edwardian romance you might pair freshwater pearls with intricate filigree details, echoing the delicate craftsmanship of a bygone era. For a modern look, a single oversized South Sea pearl, suspended from a slender bar of white gold, creates a striking statement that remains undeniably bridal.
Even as your wedding day unfolds, your drop pearl earrings can evolve in mood. Worn during the ceremony, they evoke demure charm. As the day transitions into evening, their shimmer catches candlelight and champagne toasts alike, unfailingly elegant in every frame, from aisle to afterparty.
A Symphony with the Bridal Ensemble
Styling pearls is a delicate art, one that favours harmony over excess. Drop pearl earrings are particularly well-suited to bridal hair swept up into a soft chignon or elegant bun, allowing the jewellery to take centre stage. When worn with cathedral-length veils, they add a gentle punctuation; when paired with bare shoulders or bateau necklines, they lend an air of classic sophistication.
Brides often seek cohesion in their bridal party’s accessories and drop pearl earrings offer the ideal solution. Whether gifting them to bridesmaids or suggesting them for the mother of the bride, their timeless appeal ensures elegance without distraction. Each woman may wear her own variation with slightly different settings or pearl types while still aligning with the overall bridal vision.
A Legacy of Style: From Aisle to Everyday
While drop pearl earrings make a natural choice for the wedding day, their legacy extends far beyond. One of their greatest charms is their longevity not only in design, but in sentiment. Long after vows and rings have been exchanged, they remain a wearable memento of a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
Worn again at anniversaries, christenings, or formal gatherings, they serve as a gentle reminder of love’s most elegant day. Paired with a silk blouse or tailored dress, they become part of a woman’s lifelong jewellery wardrobe bridging the past with the present, occasion with every day.
Indeed, pearls particularly in their drop form embody that rarest of qualities: timelessness. They are not bound to the fashions of a single season, nor to the formality of a single day. They are as appropriate at the altar as they are at an art gallery, a garden party, or an evening at the theatre.
In Conclusion: Timeless, Not Trend-led
For the bride who seeks more than fleeting trends, who cherishes beauty that endures, drop pearl earrings offer an exquisite choice. Rooted in heritage yet ever relevant, they elevate the bridal look without overshadowing it. And perhaps most beautifully of all, they continue to shine long after the last dance has been danced: quietly elegant, unfailingly graceful, and always, unmistakably timeless.
