{WEDDINGS}

Congratulations! Welcome to my collection of wedding jewelry, where you will find beautiful handmade jewelry to complement your gorgeous gown, your chic bridesmaids' dresses, and even something for your adorable little flower girls.

After browsing the collection, please do not hesitate to contact Laura for assistance with your order, a complimentary design consultation, or to make an appointment to discuss custom designs. My commitment to providing brides outstanding, personalized service also includes group order discounts, rush orders, bridal party gift certificates, private bridal party design events, and special wedding shower jewelry party favors and gift bags.

Working with brides to help you find or create the perfect jewelry for your special day is one of my favorite things about being a jewelry designer!

{for brides}

My collection of wedding jewelry just for brides features my most exquisite semi-precious gemstones and pearls, in shades from the purest whites, lustrous ivories, sparkling crystal, shimmering silvers and glowing golds, to the softest pale rose and peach hues. Each design is available in either sterling silver or 14k gold-filled, and many styles can be special ordered in 14k yellow or white gold.

I am pleased to offer designs to suit every bride's taste, style and budget, from the simplest pearl drop earrings, to ornate necklaces sparkling with gemstones. For your "something blue," a tiny pale aquamarine stone dangles from the clasp of each bridal necklace or bracelet.

flower girls

Your flower girls will feel just like one of the “big girls” when you give them special earrings, necklaces, or bracelets created just for them. For this collection, I have designed simple, delicate, age-appropriate jewelry, using gemstones that coordinate with the bridesmaids' collection.
Important note: flower girls' jewelry is intended only for children over three years old, and may present a choking hazard for children under three. In addition, please exercise caution when allowing children ages three to five to wear jewelry, and do not allow them to wear it either unsupervised or while sleeping.

ordering

Please take a moment to consider these important questions before browsing or ordering jewelry for your bridal party, or contacting Laura for assistance:

What are the colors in your wedding theme?
What are your bridesmaids' dress color(s) and style(s)?
What is each bridesmaid's personal jewelry style or preferences?
Do you want matching, coordinated or different jewelry for each attendant?
Do you want to order coordinated flower girl jewelry?
What are your favorite gemstones, colors (see below)?
Do you prefer silver or gold?

Are you unsure about which gemstone will work best with your color theme? See the customer care and peruse the gemstone guide for more information about gemstones, including a color guide, birthstone list, and more.
While shopping, you can use the "advanced search" tool to narrow your information by gemstone, metal, jewelry type, collection, and price range.
You can use the “tell a friend” tool on the product pages to email your favorite designs to your bridesmaids and family, so they can be feel included and be as involved as you like in the jewelry selection process.

delivery timeline

In order to make sure that you receive your jewelry with plenty of time before your wedding, I recommend that you place your bridal party order four to six weeks before you need it. Remember, each piece of jewelry is hand made to order just for you, and I want to be sure that you are completely satisfied with everything in your order.
You will typically receive your jewelry within two to four six weeks of payment, depending on the size of your order, and the total volume of orders we are handling at the time of your purchases. If you need your jewelry within two weeks or less, rush order service is available (see below).

rush order charges

If you need a large order completed within one to three weeks, please contact me to discuss extra rush charges before placing your order. You must receive a rush order authorization and complete payment before

$25 to $50: $10.00
$50 to $100: $25.00
$100 to $250: $50.00

If you need to receive your order within one week or less, there is a fee of $10.oo per item in addition to the rush order charges listed above, if we are able to fulfill your order within the time that you need it.
Expedited shipping charges will be applied in additional to rush order charges. Go to the shipping section for more information.

group order discounts

Do you have a large bridal party? If so, you can save some money by ordering your jewelry as a group. Orders of five or more coordinated wedding party jewelry (i.e. in the same style or gemstone) receive a 10% discount. Bridal jewelry ordered at the same time also receives this discount (but not if ordered separately).
Before placing your group order, please contact Laura to receive an authorization code in order to receive the 10% discount.

bridal party gift certificates

Not sure what to order for your bridesmaids? You can purchase an online gift certificate and allow them to select their own favorites. They will be thrilled! If you like, we will prepare a special paper wedding gift certificate and either mail it or gift wrap and ship it to your attendants. Go to the customer care/gifts page for more details.
You can include ordering guidelines with your gift certificates, so you can inform your bridesmaids of any preferences you have. For example, some brides choose one gemstone and metal (e.g. smoky quartz and silver), and allow their bridesmaids to order any style in that combination. Other brides choose one style, and then their attendants can choose any gemstone and metal combination in that style. If you like, we can include these guidelines with either your email or paper gift certificate.
