Wear Jewelry Like Eva Longoria – How to Guide
Okay, so we’ll admit that Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is beautiful no matter what jewelry she wears â in fact she could probably hang a pair of old sneakers around her neck and still look great â but we believe that’s because she knows how to make those tennis treads look their best, and not the other way around. The following four tips will help you make the most of your jewelry too.
1. One Hairstyle Per Night
Have you ever seen Eva unclip a gorgeous updo mid-red carpet? Or sweep her locks into a ponytail halfway through a Spurs game? Neither have we. Nor do we expect to anytime soon, due to a fact that the rest of us fidgety, hairband-toting ladies seem to have forgotten: If you choose a hairstyle before you leave the house, not only will your hair-free hands display confidence and allow you to hold your cocktail (and his), you will have had the advantage of choosing jewelry for that hairstyle in front of a mirror. While we’re at it, we’re going to suggest that when your hair is down, feel free to wear something a bit shinier and showier, so that it is not lost underneath the tresses. On the other hand, err on the subtler side when your ears and neckline are exposed. Too much bling will take away from the real gem (you).
2. Big Should Be Beautiful
Eva’s defined cheekbones and oval face combine to create negative space along her chinbone where big hoops and long dangles hang. In this case, bigger earrings give length to her face (where smaller ones have the opposite effect), but there is a risk in that any bigger piece of jewelry draws a lot of attention. So we suggest that, much like our favorite actress, you don’t just throw any old pair of earrings in before you leave the house. The earrings Eva chooses are always confident, graceful and of earthy stones like chalcedony and citrineâ¦qualities that many would also attribute to Eva herself. This combination of accessories complements, not overwhelms, the face it hangs from.
3. Simple Should Be Striking
Recently, Eva was photographed with a large Green Quartz and layered gold pendant necklace. Pendant necklaces offer an opportunity for personalization that other designs don’t because gemstones come in all sizes, shapes and colors. So if green makes your skin look wan, choose amethyst or topaz instead. If you prefer a stand alone gold chain, go for it. The point is not to copy Eva exactly, but to embrace the elements that make her jewelry work â the beauty of a single, visible stone, enhanced but not outdone by a delicate chain, will only be upstaged by your own radiant face.
4. Personalize the Engagement Ring
Honestly, we doubt that many of our readers are about to receive a ring made of 148 diamonds, or for that matter, marry an NBA star. But we do think you should feel like a celebrity during your engagement, and Eva has shown us that the trick is to make the ring as personal as Tony did. Eva’s darker skin tone cries out for diamonds, so it makes sense that her ring would carry so many. Another option is to select a whiter metal, like sterling silver or platinum, for a band that will stand out on her finger. If your skin is already pale enough, flank the diamond with a couple of small, colorful gemstones and a gold band. This will make the diamond pop, no matter its size.
In true Hollywood style, Tony went overboard by engraving a message (in his own handwriting!) inside the shank of the ring. We like a comparable, but less pricey italicized inscription on the inside of the band. Think of it as a private message that your finger can read day after day.

Wedding Jewelry for the Princess Bride
Ask almost any bride what she wants to feel like on her wedding day, and she will say, “a princess”. Well, every princess needs her crown jewels, and this is especially true for a bride. Here is a guide to choosing the perfect wedding jewelry for the “princess bride”.
First of all, every royal bride (even those who are only queen for a day!) deserves to wear a tiara. When choosing a tiara, think about the details on your bridal gown and the hairstyle you plan to wear for your big day. As a rule of thumb, the bigger your hair will be, the bigger the tiara or crown you can carry gracefully. A bride who is going to have a gorgeous mass of curls piled into a loose style on the top of her head will find that a tiara with some height to it is going to look fabulous. On the other hand, if your hair will be worn down with minimal lift at the crown, select a headpiece that sits closer to the hairline. A delicate tiara with an open floral motif created in crystals and pearls will work with virtually any hairstyle.
The style of your gown will play a big role in your choices for tiaras and sets of bridal jewelry. Let’s say that your dream gown is a strapless dress created from a luxurious lace and covered with hundreds of crystal and pearl beads. You should look for bridal jewelry sets and headpieces which are handcrafted with both crystals and pearls, rather than just one or the other. A stunning necklace would be a multistrand choker which has an open design (so pretty with the openness of lace). A pair of crystal and pearl drop earrings, a delicate tiara (when the necklace is a statement piece, the headpiece should be more subdued), and a bracelet will complete the effect. A tip: when choosing a wedding bracelet to wear with a lace gown, pick one that features drilled gems strung on smooth silver wire links, rather than the sort that has gems set with prongs, as they can snag the fine lace.
Perhaps you are more the shimmery satin type of princess bride. If a ballgown with yards and yards of satin and a cathedral length train sounds like your taste, you will want to shop for bridal jewelry sets that are equally fabulous and glamorous. Brilliant czs set into silver will be the perfect complement to a satin ballgown. Large chandelier style earrings will dazzle, especially when paired with a cz chandelier style pendant. You will feel as though you have borrowed the crown jewels for a day in such a spectacular bridal jewelry set!
Some princess brides prefer sophisticated accessories. If you are into a sexy look, such as a slinky silk halter bridal gown, you will need the perfect jewelry to match. Long Swarovski crystal stiletto earrings are cool and sophisticated. Wear them with armloads of sparkly crystal bracelets for a look that is hot enough for the most upscale nightclub in town. Or opt for a stylish pair of Swarovski crystal chandelier earrings. Instead of a traditional tiara, the sophisticated princess bride will love the effect of a bejeweled double headband, which is sleek and stylish.
Whatever type of princess bride you are, have fun choosing the accessories that really make you feel like royalty. Your wedding is your one chance to really live out your fantasy. Take advantage of it by wearing bridal jewelry that is absolutely spectacular.

How to Choose Bridal Jewelry
The day a woman gets married is probably the greatest day in her life. She has been dreaming on the perfect wedding since she was a little girl. She probably even practiced for it many times as she grew up. The bride is the start of the show, the most important person in the room. Even the smallest detail should be perfect for this glorious day.
Choosing the jewelry to be worn by the bride and brides’ maids is a delicate matter. Necklaces and other pieces should be elegant and appealing, but they must not draw attention away from the wedding dress. They have to complement it. It is usually best for the bride’s jewelry to be made of silver, platinum or other white metals, with rhinestone or pearl details. Gold is too flashy and will stand out against the white dress.
Another important factor to consider is the amount of jewelry the bride will wear. As a bride, the pieces you choose should go well with your gown, and complement your face and figure as well. Depending on your dress and personal preference, you can choose a single stunning accent piece like a necklace, or a coordinated set. Hairstyle plays in as well-an upswept chignon needs a pair of stunning earrings to really look “finished”.
Experts recommend pearls as the most adaptable and elegant accessories for the bride. A string of pearls and earrings complement just about any wedding dress. Pearls can be a classic, formal single strand, or a more modern and feminine freshwater arrangement, depending on the bride’s personal style, and the cut of the gown. Choosing pearls over rhinestones means there is nothing sparkly to detract from the wedding ring, and pearls can easily be re-worn later, as a lasting memento of the wedding day.
The bride’s maids are secondary actors in the wedding show. They can wear jewelry that matches the dress, or simple, elegant pieces crafted from metals or pearls. Bridal jewelry makes a great bridesmaid’s gift-and again, choosing pieces that can be repurposed means that your attendants will get more use from your gift, and be reminded of you each time they wear it.
A wedding is an expensive event; usually it is paid for by the bride and groom, or the bride’s parents. It is not necessary to go overboard and buy expensive jewelry for the bride’s maids. It is not hard to find quality jewelry that fits the needs for the occasion. Look for sterling silver clasps and real, but inexpensive stones and pearls. A set made with quality materials will look better, and with proper care can be used many times and for many years after the wedding.
No matter what you choose, do a full dress rehearsal complete with all jewelry before the big day, to make sure all of the components you have chosen, from gown and veil to shoes and jewelry, work together well.

Top Bridal Tips (jewelry – Attire – Hair)
Top Bridal Tips (Jewelry – Attire – Hair)
Bridal Jewelry :
- First, you will likely want to wear your engagement ring. Most brides do.
- You will also want to be sure you have his wedding band all ready.
- While selecting accessories, keep in mind color of your gown, your skin and hair color.
- Pearls are classic choices and for a good reason.
- Time of the wedding, Afternoon weddings tend to be more subdued, and you’ll want bridal jewelry with a little less flash. Evening weddings, though, are a lot more dramatic.
Wedding Attire :
- Try on as many styles as you can. Lots of dresses have zero hanger appeal, but look great once you put them on.
- Remember to look at your rear view! Your Guests will have an uninterrupted view during the ceremony, so it’s got to look good.
- Think about whether you want a theme to your wedding (color, period, style) as this will make your choice of dress easier.
- Generally, a pure white dress looks better on brunettes, while ivory and cream flatters the traditional English Rose.
- Always take at least one other person with you (two is best) when shopping for your dress, so that you know what your wedding finery looks like from every angle.
- Ask to try on a veil with the dress so you can get an idea of the complete look – a short veil may well turn a dress from ordinary to special, while a long veil might not work at all.
- Choose your Bridesmaids’ outfits to match detail or color on your dress. And if you have a theme, make sure you tie in with your maids.
- After the wedding, preserve your dress by having it expertly cleaned and boxed.
Bridal Hair :
- Do not use the portrait session as the “dress rehearsal”. There should actually be a “test run” for the portrait.
- During the “test run,” walk around with the hairstyle you plan to wear to determine its comfort level. A good rule is: the simpler, the better, since pins can hurt, and intricate styles are often delicate.
- Consider the time of day and type of wedding when choosing a style. Loose styles are appropriate for informal or daytime weddings, while up-do’s portray a formal, evening look.
- Remember that some hairstyles can add inches to a bride’s height, and shorter brides may want to use this to their advantage.
- Do not have any chemical treatments the day of the wedding. That is not the time for surprises!
- Hair color looks its best the first two weeks, so have your hair colored a week to two weeks before the wedding.
- If a permanent wave is necessary, have it done a month prior to the wedding.
- Hair that is too fine and over-conditioned does not style well, so deep conditioning treatments should not be used within four days of the wedding. For best styling results, shampoo hair lightly the day before the wedding and, if possible, do not wash hair the day of the wedding.
- Stylists and makeup artists do their best work in their own environments with their own tools, so have your wedding party meet at the salon a couple of hours before they need to be at the ceremony for pictures. This increases efficiency, (and usually costs less!)

Bridal Jewelry Options
Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life, and you will naturally want to look your very best on this very special day. So you must choose your wedding dress, your bag, shoes and jewelry very carefully. Ideally your bridal jewelry should be stylish yet elegant and sophisticated. And you have to choose them keeping the latest trends in mind. Like everything else, trends in wedding jewelry, such as bracelets, earrings, necklaces and wedding bands change every season in tandem with the changes in the world of fashion. So, remember to keep track of what’s “in”, if you want to look really fashionable.
If you have a clear idea of exactly what you want, then you can get your jewelry customized to match your dress. Do keep in mind your hairstyle as well!
With more and more people opting for personalized theme weddings, many brides are choosing customized jewelry to match their theme. Listed below are some of the upcoming trends of 2009 which will help you reveal your personal style and creativity.
While there are many brides who are willing to cut down on their wedding costs, there is one aspect where they refuse to compromise: bridal jewelry sets. This is a sensible decision, chiefly for two reasons. Bridal jewelry sets act as a beautiful complement for the bride, and truly set her apart on her wedding day. Also, the jewelry has lasting value because it can be worn over and over again. So, bridal jewelry often acts as an investment that can be used over they years.
How to Choose Good Bridal Jewelry
o Colored stones: Nowadays brides are moving away from the traditional white diamonds and pearls and choosing stones which match their theme. These are usually colored stones which highlight the wedding dress and the bridesmaids’ dresses. For accessorizing, you can opt for the popular tinted metals like rose and chocolate gold. You can also go for onyx earrings, a chocolate pearl necklace or emerald bracelets.
o Layered Bridal Jewelry: Among the popular trends of 2009 are multiple strand necklaces. You can drape them in long layers or wear them as a choker, either way, they’re a show stealer. You can complement your dress with layers of crystal beads, pearls or strands of colored stones. You can either wear them around your neck or around your wrist for an understated but stylish look.
After the wedding, you can always include classic bridal jewelry in your work wardrobe. A simple pearl necklace teamed with drop earrings are perfect for adding that touch of elegance to your business wear. You can never go wrong with these classic accessories because they will never go out of fashion. You can wear them with your interview suit and with your semi formal blouse and a pair of pants.
However, it is silver jewelry that can give you the best value for money. You can wear them long after the wedding because they’ll never go out of style. You can always get a chunky bracelet with your monogram on it. Personalized and cool, it will also make you feel special when you’re newly married.

Dress Your Tresses With Cute And Chic Bridal Hair Jewelry
All set for your great day? You must have planned everything to the last detail, from getting the wedding dress to planning for wedding favors. Have you decided how to dress your tresses to suit your wedding gown? I have compiled a few pointers, which I guess will be helpful to decide on the kind of bridal hair jewelry that you can get to complement your hairdo. Though wedding hair accessories are really important, we don’t seem to pay them enough attention like we do when we purchase our wedding jewelry.
1. If you have medium length or long hair, then it would be best to let it down. Straighten it for a sleek look or curl your hair to add a little bounce. You can fasten hair jewelry combs or the rhinestone headbands to create that oomph effect!
2. Want to try out pearl bridal jewelry? You can either pick the Pearly Petals Headband or the Royal Dangling Pearl Tiara for a simple, yet elegant look.
3. For longer hair that has a natural curl, you can go for hair styles like the Double Asian Knot, a simple top knot, or Simply Elegant Updo. Accessorize them with the Pearl and Rhinestone Hair Accessory or the Dreamy Rhinestone Tiara. You can also add flower hair spirals for that stylish look.
4. Another hair style that you can choose is to side part the hair, pull it back flat and tight, and pile lots of curls on top. You can complete this hairstyle with the classic rhinestone tiara and a gossamer veil combination. Accessorize with beautiful bridal hair pins and hair jewelry combs.
5. If you are the kind of bride, who wants a simple hair style, then pin your hair with the Getaway Rhinestone Hair Clip and complete the look with the cute Simple Elegance Rhinestone Headband.
I hope this post has given you an idea of what kind of bridal hair jewellery that you can pick for your wedding day. You can also log onto MyWeddingJewerly.com that has an extensive collection of bridal hair jewelry such as flower hair spirals, rhinestone headbands, bridal hair pins, hair jewelry combs, and more.

Finding the Perfect Bridal Jewelry
A bride on her wedding day wants to look both beautiful and glamorous. The dress is, of course, the first step to achieving that look. The bridal jewelry she will wear is the icing on the cake. There are all types of bridal jewelry styles to browse from manufactured bridal jewelry to couture custom bridal jewelry pieces. Finding the right fit means a custom fit for most brides, so finding a good bridal jewelry design company is a great way to get you started.
Look for a bridal jewelry company or designer that both fits your budget, but also your style. Every designer has their own signature look to all of their wedding jewelry pieces, so finding one that suits you specifically is the first step. Another item to consider while searching for the right bridal jewelry company is options. You want to be able to custom select your bridal necklace and bracelet lengths, clasp styles, earring styles, but most importantly, you need the colors to match. A good bridal jewelry store will have a wide variety of pearl and crystal color options so you can make a perfect match. While white is the most traditional color a bride may wear, ivory, champagne and light pinks are becoming more popular with brides. Some brides are finding gowns with gorgeous sashes in a wide array of colors suits them best.
Once you’ve determined what kind of style you would like, the best way to match your bridal jewelry colors with your wedding gown is to compare the colors together right in front of your own eyes. Find a bridal jewelry store or designer or website that offers you color samples for both pearls and crystals. A good bridal jewelry company will send you samples of any color you need to see in person to make the best and closest comparison of your wedding gown to your bridal jewelry.
After you’ve chosen what color pearls and crystals will suit your wedding gown the best you can search for the right style that will compliment your beautiful gown and your own wedding style. You need to consider what bridal jewelry accessories you would like to wear. There are necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hairpins, hair combs, tiaras and more that a bride can choose from in her search for the perfect look. You may want to wear only a bracelet and earrings or a necklace and bracelet, or all three together. You’ll have to imagine what pieces you would like to bring together to find the perfect combination of bridal jewelry for your special day.
Another item to consider is your hair accessories. Are you wearing a tiara? Not all women feel comfortable in a tiara, so there are other options available such as hair combs and hairpins or hair vines. These hair jewel accessories can accentuate your hairstyle without the over the top tiara. For women that love the idea of a tiara but still want that glitz, there are a wide variety of hairpins and hair jewels that will compliment your tiara on your wedding day. Some brides often remove their tiaras at the reception, but may still want some bling in the hair. Having some customized hairpins that coordinate with your tiara and bridal gown are the perfect way to accentuate your look without the use of a tiara throughout your entire special day.
There are many items to consider when selecting your bridal jewelry. Be sure to keep an open mind. You may be lucky to find just what you’re looking for the first time, but trying on several pieces of jewelry to find exactly what will match perfect with that gorgeous gown can be a fun and fruitful process. The best part about the selection of your bridal jewelry is that you don’t have to preserve your bridal jewelry in a box in your attic after the wedding. Your bridal jewelry is something that you can wear all of the time after the wedding. Whether you are celebrating your anniversary, attending another wedding, or just going out on the town for drinks, your bridal jewelry pieces can compliment your look for that day and keep your most special day’s memories alive.
