Where did u all get ur wedding/bridal jewellery?

I love these http://www.glitzysecrets.com/antique-dream-necklace.html

http://www.glitzysecrets.com/antique-dream-earrings.html


But i can't make myself stretch to £44 for a necklace! The earrings i could cope with at £16 lol

Has anyone got any good jewellery sites for me to browse? I really like the whole vintage/antique look (hence the links lol!)

i need inspiration (that is cheaper that my current inspiration LOL!)
Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    They've got some lovely stuff on that website! Unfortunately my favourite one is a lot more than £44! Am going to have to save up a bit I think...

    I'm not buying any jewellery for mine!!! I had intended on wearing a pearl necklace that belonged to my dad's gran but it's too long. Dad asked if I could take it and get it shortened but by the time the wedding comes round it will be 90 (yes 90!) years old so I don't want to touch it at all. Instead, I am going to wear another necklace that belonged to the same person that will be 49 years old by the time I get married. My something old is going to be very old!!!

    Hiya :) a friend of mine, another MSE-er, does some gorgeous wedding jewellery; this is her Etsy shop
    http://www.etsy.com/shop/bridaljewellery

    -I've got some of her earrings, really delicate and well-made. The prices are quite varied too :)

    oooh - i loved the halo and co stuff but was a little out of my range and i found my tiara on olivier laudus in the end. the one i wanted was unavailable (no longer available i my colour) so they offered a discount on any of their range which afforded me a more expensive one. i still paid just over £50 but i do so love my tiara.

    my jewellery is my something borrowed and is an old indian weding set my mother had bought us when we were kids so afraid i can't help there.

    Mrs C to be, I saw a bride in a mag the other month wearing a necklace round her wrist as a bracelet - could you maybe try to see what that looks like so you can still incorporate the heirloom into your day?
    I am wearing a tiny gold heart, set with diamonds that the kids gave me last Christmas - it has sentimental value, the heart motif fits perfectly and I allready had it! Win win! Also my dress is heavily beaded with pearls and crystals so too much shiny would look OTT I think. Less is more as they say.

    Never thought of that Barb but I can always see what it loolks like. It will be totally different from the other one though. I have a set of simulated pearls that were my nans that are broken so I'm going to use them in my bouquet which I'm making myself so will have part of her with me!
