They are the women who’ve been in a constant presence in your life, through the tears and laughter, so what higher honour than to ask them to be your bridesmaids? It’s a role that comes with many duties, and a long-standing tradition to thank your bridesmaids for their support on your big day is to give them a thoughtful gift. Jewellery has become an iconic way to express gratitude to your ladies in waiting; timeless keepsakes they can wear at the wedding, and then for years to come. Some will give the jewellery to their bridesmaids on the morning of the ceremony, but a great time to present them is at your hen party. They’ll feel valued before the intensity of the big day can distract you from letting them know!

Did you know? 

In the present day, the trend for bridesmaid’s attire is to wear something complementary, but not matching or upstaging, the bride’s outfit. However the historic origins of bridesmaid’s dresses were a little different – the bride’s attendants would adorn themselves in identical outfits to her, in order to trick any ill-willed people or evil spirits wanting to sabotage the fair maiden. 

Many of my clients have asked me which of my handmade jewellery collections I’d suggest for brides and for bridesmaids, so I thought I’d gather the intel in one blog post! Read on for my top 28 handmade jewellery gifts for all budgets, pieces your bridesmaids will treasure forever. Gift inspiration from £35, with free delivery on all orders, UK and international.
