wedding jewelry .
Q.Pearls or rhinestones? I'm a new Regional Manager with Liz Soto Signatures jewelry, and want to keep a good stock of the most popular styles of wedding/special occasion jewelry for my customers. Will you be wearing pearl earrings on your wedding day or rhinestone/crystal/diamonds? How about necklace and bracelet styles? What about your wedding attendants? Will they choose their own jewelry to wear, will you buy it as a gift for them, or will you choose the style and they will purchase themselves?
A.I will be wearing heirloom jewelry for my wedding. I will wear a 150+ year old gold "y" necklace with three small sapphires and a drop natural pearl. Don't know yet about earrings, but most likely my mother's pearl studs she wore on her wedding day 34 years ago. No bracelet, but I will have my paternal great-grandmother's opal ring and the ring my paternal grandfather gave me pinned to my crinoline inside an evening bag crocheted by my maternal great-grandmother. SO, the point of my post is, I'll be wearing both pearls and stones, but I don't think I'd wear rhinestones on my wedding day. But that is not to say that there is a market for good quality rhinestone jewelry.
