    My dress is pronovias flauta and I LOVE onyx jewelry. Our wedding colors are black, red, and silver. Do you think it would clash or should I stick with something like marcasite or silver? I attached some pictures of the dress. The beading design in the middle is what I'm afraid of clashing.

    can you give a sample of what you are thinking.

    i would think that if it is done taste fully it would work.

    I don't think that onyx would clash at all. The middle is silver and well, I think that's kind of neutral. If not.. could you replace the middle with something?

    @Tunacupcakes - It's part of the dress. I actually LOVE the design, and I love the dress, but when I got home and started looking for jewelry I was like "Omg, Im afraid of it clashing." I love my dress and I don't want to change anything about it.

     

     

    I'm not sure EXACTLY what I want (Because I love pearls too) but here's a necklace/earring that isn't bad.

    If you love pearls, what about going with something like this?

    I am wearing one for my wedding. I just search for "pearl bridal necklace with broach". They sell a ton on etsy. I am thinking about making my own (a lot cheeper). Just sting a few pearls together and add a broach that you like. You can get all the supplies from Hobby Lobby or Michael's for less than 20 bucks.

    I don't think that the onyx pieces you pictured would clash at all. Silver with silver and black. Perfect!

    It's hard to say without seeing it on, but it's not the clashing I'd be worried about; it's the competition. Black & white are the highest contrast which garner a lot of attention--so the black onyx drop juxtaposed with your white neckline might be sort of a "hot spot." I might be a little worried that that hot spot would compete with the focus of the beaded element at your waist. Again, though, it's difficult to say whether it WOULD compete without seeing it on--it really depends on the size of the stone and the length of the necklace; the brilliance of the beaded element at the waist, etc.

    At the same time, I don't believe in buying jewelry just for a wedding anyway--buy jewelry to wear for your wedding, but make it something that you'd be able to wear afterwards. So if you really love the necklace and earrings and you buy them and find that they're not the right look for the wedding, is it really a loss if you love them and can use them in your everyday life?

    @JennyW1 - That's what I thought is that I could just wear that jewelry again (that I posted above).

    Okay, What do you think of this? (not onyx, but Marcasite.)

    I think the Onyx looks very elegant, regardless of your wedding colors (unless they're very happy, spring-time or something).

    @XxMyXxDecemberXx:

    I love all of what you've posted - beautiful dress, beautiful jewelry.  I think the onyx looks great with the dress.  You even chose silver and black as two of your colours, so you already know that they go well together! 

    That marcasite necklace you posted is amazingly gorgeous and possibly matches the vintage-y feel of the beading (of course it's hard to tell from the picture what the beading really looks like), but I think I actually prefer the onyx jewelry.
