    Okay this is my dress Am I crazy for wanting to buy these? :  wedding jewelry accessories earrings help HB6979

    I obviously can't wear a necklace, and am not sure if I want to wear any bracelets. But I just found these earrings from JCrew and am swooning. I don't normally spend money on jewelry really...but I keep coming back to them. Do you all think they're worth the $70?

    If you don't think I should get them, I'd love to hear if you think it's just because of cost, or if you think they're too bold and I should just go with something simpler like a plan pearl or diamond stud.

    Thanks bees!

    $70 isn't bad & its your wedding day! Also, if you want, you could always re-sell them on a wedding website since they are "bridal" :)

    First of all I love you dress.  Makes me want to try it on even though I already ordered my dress.   Anyway, love the earrings, I think they would be gorgeous.  I don't think its a terrible price but maybe look at Etsy to see if there is something similar for less.  That way you at least know you did your research and that was a good price.  I think it will be gorgeous, are you wearing your hair up or down?

    Yes definitely worth the 70$ I love them and they will look beautiful with your dress! So simple but will still make a statement and you can wear them over and over again.

    They're perfect! And since you're not wearing a necklace, it's ok to go a little crazy on your earrings.

    I think they are really really cute, but personally i wouldn't spend that much on quite simple pearls. I've seen lots of beautiful pearl earrings for less, these are overpriced in my opinion.

    @emilia: I think there is no right or wrong, the problem is your budget. If it fits in your budget, why not? When you ask this question, you will for sure get a lot of different answer. A person with no income or no income, we might find that person crazy to buy these. But a person with high income, we don't find that crazy.

    As long as it is within your comfort, then get them :)

    Love the dress, and the jewelry- but are your ears okay with those?  I mean, I can only wear sterling or gold, personally.

    You might try antique stores--I've seen earrings that are very similar for $20 or so.

    First of all...your dress is so beautiful!! I love it, and I think the earings would be a great statement piece with out being to much or over bearing. You keep going back to them...why not get them! What's the worse that is going to happen you are going to get them and decide you don't like them with your dress?? Easy as returing them because they didn't work out!! Or even deciding you like them just to wear for you...not wedding related! Fabulous!! Also LOVE the hair due!!

    I was wondering the same about my $40 I absolutely love. It just depends on your budget... whether it's strict and it doesn't fit, or it does fit, or it doesn't fit but you could come up with the extra $30 or so to get them :)

    They are really pretty but are they real pearl or even freshwater? $70 seems quite a lot for costume pearl jewelry, but if you have it then thats ok. They are really classic and will never date. But honestly, I would get something just as nice for a little cheaper... how about these on Etsy? Theres loads of other similar pearl earrings on there too...
