Perfect for:
- Bridesmaids (a lasting thank-you they’ll wear again)
- Mother of the bride or groom (elegant and meaningful)
- Destination weddings (lightweight, travel-friendly sparkle)
- Brides who dare to be different (hello, non-traditional charm!)

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.
A Dream Woven in Gold, Pearls & Crystal
The back drop necklace is the quiet heroine of bridal styling. Delicate yet impactful, these exquisite pieces cascade along the bride’s back — each design thoughtfully created to complement low-backed and illusion gowns. Whether whispering with pearls, dancing with Swarovski crystals, or glowing with golden luster, our new collection embodies the grace of a bygone era with a distinctly modern spirit. Our bridal jewellery sets with backdrop necklaces can also be custom matched with earrings or bracelets from the collection — perfect for creating a cohesive, curated look.
Why Choose a Back Drape Necklace?
Back jewellery is more than an accessory; it’s a moment waiting to be remembered. Here’s why brides are falling in love with this romantic trend:
- Elegant Drama: Adds a dramatic, ethereal touch to minimalist or vintage-inspired gowns.
- Back-Focused Beauty: Perfect for ceremonies or photo moments when the bride’s back is the focal point — think vows, first dances, or walking the aisle.
- Versatile Styling: Pairs effortlessly with updos or soft, swept hairstyles that allow the jewellery to shine.
The Collection: A Glimpse Behind the Veil
Graceful and golden, our freshwater pearl backdrop necklace is a minimalist’s dream. A single strand of shimmering gold chain adorned with dainty crystal accents finishes in a luminous freshwater pearl, with a double layer at front, ideal for brides seeking simplicity with soul.
For the bride who dreams in lace and poetry our pearl back drapes features twin strands of delicate pearls that dip into a delicate Y-drop, each bead hand-wired for flow and movement. Designed to echo the soft femininity of vintage silhouettes.
Glistening like starlight on still water the crystal four-strand drape ending in faceted teardrops. This bold piece pairs beautifully with gowns that have deep backs and structured lace, creating a regal and unforgettable look.
Vintage dreams, our simple pearl backdrop necklace features a delicate and simple drop for a regal and enchanting look. This piece pairs beautifully with a statement pearl cluster hair comb.
Styling Tips
- Match your back necklace to your gown’s tone — gold with ivory, rose gold for blush gowns, and silver for crisp whites or cooler undertones.
- Coordinate with hairpieces for a full-circle bridal look. A matching comb or vine brings cohesion and elegance.
- Keep earrings simple if your back jewellery is the star — think pearl studs or a small crystal drop.
Whether you’re looking for a single-drop pearl design, vintage-inspired crystals, or something nature-kissed with leafy accents, our pieces are:
- Lightweight and comfortable
- Available in silver, gold, or rose gold
- Handcrafted in our UK studio using high-quality materials
- Made to complement low-back, open-back, or illusion-back gowns
A Finishing Touch to Remember
At Emma Rose Jewellery, every piece is handcrafted in our Scottish studio, where stories of love, legacy, and light are woven into every strand. Our back necklaces are more than just accessories — they are heirlooms in the making, created for the modern bride.

Timeless Style, Lifelong Meaning
When you picture the perfect engagement ring, chances are you imagine something that looks as beautiful on your golden wedding anniversary as it does the day you propose. Trends come and go, but classic craftsmanship, high-quality diamonds and thoughtful design last forever. At Bespoke Diamonds, we have helped thousands of couples in Ireland choose rings that feel personal today yet timeless tomorrow. Here’s how to ensure your forever piece never dates.
1 · Keep the Silhouette Simple
The easiest route to longevity is a clean silhouette. A single diamond in a perfectly balanced four- or six-prong setting will always feel current. Our solitaire engagement rings are deliberately understated so the eye focuses on the stone’s natural fire. Choose a slender platinum band to highlight crisp whiteness or warm 18 k yellow gold for a traditional glow.
2 · Choose Enduring Diamond Shapes
Round brilliants dominate the history books, but several other cuts have earned permanent status. An oval diamond offers the same 58 facets as a round, with a graceful elongation that flatters every hand. Emerald-cut diamonds, with their hall-of-mirrors flashes, have graced style icons from Grace Kelly to Beyoncé. Whichever shape you favour, insist on excellent symmetry and polish; precision never ages.
3 · Invest in Metals That Mature Beautifully
Metals set the mood of a ring and influence future maintenance. Platinum is prized for strength and a naturally bright colour that will not yellow with time. Yellow gold ages gracefully, developing a subtle patina that many couples love. Matching your chosen metal to your future wedding rings creates a seamless set you will enjoy wearing every day.
4 · Embrace Modern Ethics Without Losing Tradition
Timeless doesn’t have to mean old-fashioned mining practices. Many modern couples opt for lab-grown diamonds – chemically identical to mined stones, traceable, and often kinder to your budget. Selecting a laboratory-created diamond in a classic design lets you honour tradition and ethics at once.
5 · Personalise Subtly for Sentimental Value
Engraving a meaningful date inside the shank or hiding a tiny coloured gem on the gallery are ways to make a timeless ring uniquely yours without affecting its clean aesthetic. Our bespoke team can discreetly add such touches during manufacture or even incorporate heirloom gold into a new setting.
The Bespoke Diamonds Difference
Every Bespoke Diamonds piece is built to last:
- Expert gem selection – only independently graded diamonds with excellent cut quality.
- Precise CAD design – ensuring claws, shoulders and galleries remain elegant yet durable.
- Hand finishing in Dublin – our goldsmiths polish and check every claw under magnification before delivery.
Your Forever Starts Here
If you want a ring that looks as flawless in 2055 as it does in 2025, book a private consultation at Bespoke Diamonds. We will guide you through classic designs, metal choices and diamond options until you find (or create) the piece that tells your love story – beautifully, eternally, timelessly.
Your wedding day is one of the most magical moments of your life and every detail matters – from the gown you wear to the sparkle in your hair. Choosing the perfect bridal hairstyle and complementing it with exquisite accessories from Emma Rose Jewellery can enhance your bridal look to a whole new level of elegance. But how do you decide which style and adornments suit you best? Let’s explore some stunning options to ensure you walk down the aisle feeling radiant and confident.
Consider Your Dress & Wedding Theme
Before selecting your hairstyle and accessories, take inspiration from your wedding dress and overall theme. Is your gown a timeless classic with delicate lace? Or are you opting for a modern minimalist look? The silhouette, neckline, and embellishments of your dress can help guide your hair and accessory choices.
Classic & Romantic Gowns: Opt for soft curls, an elegant updo or a half-up, half-down style paired with pearl-adorned hair combs or vintage-inspired tiaras.
Boho & Whimsical Dresses: Loose waves, braids or messy buns work beautifully with floral hair vines, dainty pins or nature-inspired accessories.
Glamorous & Statement Looks: Hollywood waves or sleek buns call for crystal-embellished headpieces, statement crowns, or shimmering hair drapes.
Match Your Hairstyle to Your Dress Neckline
Your dress neckline plays a key role in determining the best hairstyle for your bridal look. A high-neck or illusion neckline pairs beautifully with an updo, allowing the intricate details to shine. A sweetheart or off-the-shoulder neckline works well with soft curls or a romantic half-up, half-down style. For a sleek, modern gown with a straight neckline, consider a polished chignon or sleek ponytail for an effortlessly chic finish.
Selecting the Perfect Bridal Hair Accessories
At Emma Rose Jewellery, we offer a range of handcrafted bridal accessories designed to complement your hairstyle beautifully. Here are some exquisite options:
-
- Hair Combs & Clips: Perfect for adding subtle sparkle to elegant updos or securing a veil in place.
- Tiaras & Crowns: Ideal for a regal, fairy-tale bridal look, whether you prefer delicate crystal details or a bold statement piece.
- Hair Vines: Flexible and lightweight, these are perfect for weaving through braids or draping across loose curls for a romantic, ethereal effect.
- Bridal Pins: A versatile choice, bridal pins allow you to scatter delicate pearls, crystals, or floral designs through your hairstyle.
Complementing Your Accessories with Your Jewellery
Your bridal accessories should work harmoniously with your jewellery. If you’re wearing a heavily embellished hairpiece, consider keeping your earrings and necklace simple to avoid overwhelming your look. Alternatively, if you opt for delicate hair accessories, you can make a statement with bold earrings or a necklace.
Crystal Crowns & Statement Headpieces: Pair with subtle stud earrings, small drops and a delicate bracelet.
Minimalist Hair Pins or Vines: Enhance your look with chandelier earrings or a statement necklace.
Pearl-Embellished Hair Accessories: Complement with matching pearl earrings and simple pendant for a cohesive, timeless feel.
Trial Your Look Before the Big Day
To ensure your hairstyle and accessories work seamlessly together, book a trial with your hairstylist well in advance. Bring your chosen accessories from Emma Rose Jewellery to see how they integrate with your desired style. This will allow you to make any adjustments and feel confident that your bridal look is picture-perfect.

Why Shape and Style Matter
A guest article by English Wedding member Bespoke Diamonds
When it comes to engagement rings, the sparkle might catch your eye—but the shape and style are what truly make it yours. Think of your ring like the perfect outfit: tailored to suit your proportions, flatter your features, and express your personality.
Your hands deserve the same consideration. Whether your fingers are long, short, slender or strong, the right diamond cut and band style can enhance your natural shape in all the best ways.
And there’s one more thing—your wedding ring. Choosing an engagement ring that pairs well with a wedding band is key. From flush-fitting classics to curved or crown-style bands, planning ahead means no compromises later.
What to Look For
It’s Not Just About the Diamond
The cut of your stone sets the tone, but don’t underestimate the setting. A halo can add width, a slim band can elongate, and a clever setting can make your ring—and your hand—look effortlessly elegant.
Wedding Band Compatibility
Love a low-set solitaire? Make sure there’s room for your wedding band to sit flush—or plan for a contoured fit. Intricate side stones or bold settings may need a custom-shaped band. It’s all about harmony.
Best Ring Styles by Hand & Finger Type
Small Hands & Short Fingers
The Look: Delicate, Balanced, Effortless
Shorter fingers benefit from anything that creates the illusion of length. Elongated stones are your best friend.
Diamond Shapes That Flatter:
- Oval – Sleek and stretching
- Pear – Tapers the finger beautifully
- Marquise – Maximises vertical length
Ring Styles to Consider:
- Solitaire – Minimalist and lengthening
- Fine bands – Keep the look light
- Low-profile settings – Proportional and practical
Be Mindful Of:
- Square cuts (Princess, Asscher) can feel blocky
- Thick bands overwhelm smaller hands
Wedding Ring Tip:
Choose settings with space under the head if you want a flush-fit band. Otherwise, curved wedding bands are a chic solution.
Wide Fingers
The Look: Confident, Balanced, Full-Coverage
With wider fingers, you’ve got space to play—so lean into bolder stones and settings that offer visual coverage without bulk.
Diamond Shapes That Flatter:
- Emerald – Strong lines, flattering length
- Radiant & Cushion – Full shape, softened corners
- Oval – Elegant slimming effect
Ring Styles to Consider:
- Halo – Adds width and sparkle
- Three-stone – Frames the centre and fills the finger
- Split shank or wider bands – Adds structure
Avoid:
- Narrow bands that exaggerate width
- Tiny stones that feel lost
Wedding Ring Tip:
Opt for a complementary band with visual weight. A matching width or split-shank design in the band adds cohesion.
Medium or Broad Hands
The Look: Strong, Balanced, Glamorous
Mid-to-broad hands can pull off more ornate styles, but proportion is key.
Diamond Shapes That Flatter:
- Round Brilliant – Universally flattering
- Cushion – Adds softness
- Oval or Radiant – Balance and elegance
Ring Styles to Consider:
- Three-stone rings – Frame and balance
- Halo or vintage settings – Add presence
- Wider bands – Enhance scale and richness
Avoid:
- Ultra-delicate designs—they may get lost
Wedding Ring Tip:
Go bold—your hand can carry wider, more decorative bands that echo the engagement ring style without feeling bulky.
Long Fingers
The Look: Bold, Elegant, Fashion-Forward
Long fingers are the ultimate canvas for experimentation. Almost every style works—but balance is everything.
Diamond Shapes That Flatter:
- Princess – Sharp and contemporary
- Emerald – Enhances length with clean lines
- Cushion or Round – Offer softness and charm
Ring Styles to Consider:
- Statement settings – Think vintage or double halo
- Wider bands – Anchor the look
- Architectural designs – Play up the drama
Avoid:
- Excessively thin bands—unless layered
Wedding Ring Tip:
Layering works beautifully. A bold band, eternity ring or stacked look adds personality without competing for attention.
Slim Fingers
The Look: Refined, Proportional, Understated
Slim fingers benefit from designs that don’t overpower but still hold their own.
Diamond Shapes That Flatter:
- Round Brilliant – A perfect classic
- Oval or Pear – Adds elegant length
- Small Cushion – Soft edges without bulk
Ring Styles to Consider:
- Petite solitaires – Timeless and proportional
- Pavé bands – Add sparkle without size
- Balanced-width bands – Create presence
Avoid:
- Oversized stones that dominate the finger
Wedding Ring Tip:
Match the delicacy. A pavé or fine-band wedding ring will pair beautifully with your engagement ring for a seamless set.
Square Fingers
The Look: Softened, Feminine, Balanced
Square or boxy fingers look best with curves and softness.
Diamond Shapes That Flatter:
- Oval – Breaks up angles
- Pear – Adds movement
- Round – Gentle and flattering
Ring Styles to Consider:
- Split shanks – Create a graceful frame
- Tapered sides – Focus the eye on the centre
- Curved bands – Soften strong lines
Avoid:
- Princess cuts and blocky settings that emphasise squareness
Wedding Ring Tip:
Curved or contoured bands are ideal—they flow with the finger’s natural lines and echo the engagement ring’s softness.
Prominent Knuckles
The Look: Balanced, Elegant, Secure
If your knuckles are more pronounced, focus on rings that stay centred and draw attention to the diamond—not the hand.
Diamond Shapes That Flatter:
- Round Brilliant – Classic and central
- Three-stone – Broadens visual interest
- Cushion – Gentle, eye-catching silhouette
Ring Styles to Consider:
- Wider bands – Reduce movement and add weight
- Bezel or flush settings – Stay in place and feel secure
- Vintage details – Distract from the knuckle with design
Avoid:
- Slim bands that spin or highlight finger tapering
Wedding Ring Tip:
A slightly wider wedding band will echo the engagement ring’s weight and add comfortable balance.
Final Note: It’s All About Balance
The best engagement ring doesn’t just look beautiful—it feels right on your hand. Whether you’re looking to elongate, soften, or make a bold statement, your perfect match is a blend of shape, setting, and style that complements your hand and your future wedding band.
