LOOKING YOUR BEST 75 SARAH RALPH AT SARAH RALPH DESIGNS In 2024, there will be a shift towards eco-conscious brides. Being as environmentally responsible as possible is rising in popularity, which has been felt in the wedding jewellery market. Using recycled materials such as gold and silver is becoming the norm. I’ve also seen a move from traditional mined gemstones to lab-grown alternatives, which don’t have the same environmental impact but still have the depth of colour and sparkle. There has also been a move from traditional jewellery sets towards more bespoke designs that are individual to couples. Many brides are now working with jewellery designers to create something specific to add a beautiful finishing touch to the wedding outfit. Jewellery is not just for brides; the sky is the limit for grooms with cuff links and tie pins, which can be designed just for you. The bottom line is that your bridal jewellery is special to you and can be anything you want, including old, new, expensive or budget-friendly. If it means something to you and your partner, go for it, as it’s your special day!
