An inherent sense of chaos surrounds weddings. What with the need for colossal levels of planning, logistics, guest listing... Among these, jewellery serves as a major stress factor, the fear of misplacing precious heirlooms, or losing valuables in transit looming large through all celebrations. Enter: luxury costume jewellery, your passport to stress-free glamour. No matter the occasion, such luxe designs have emerged as a winsome alternative to heavy ornaments, offering all the glamour and allure, but with a fraction of the strain. For brides-to-be and guests alike, our curation of luxe costume jewellery brands will leave you spoilt for choice.

CONTEMPORARY EDGE

If sleek tennis bracelets, vibrant cocktail rings, and delicate floral brooches in zirconia and multi-shaped gemstones are your style, Miss Jo's contemporary designs are your answer. Their cutting-edge jewellery pieces are subtle yet standout, lightweight, and set in 92.5 sterling silver, making them complement luxe silks, satin, and even crepe. Take, for instance, their Baguette Harmony Necklace, a classic solitaire design with angular baguettes. Pair it with a cocktail dress, or team it up with a traditional ensemble — you'll attract compliments either way.
