When I was getting married, I found it hard to find inspiring and affordable bridal jewelry. You want something special, but you have already spent the majority of your budget on your dress and ceremony. Costume jewelry can be a great option, and it usually gets as many complements as the real thing!
Thomas Knoell Designs creates beautiful art-deco inspired costume jewelry using exquisite metalwork and crystals. They are also known for their wide range of headpieces. The company is run by a husband and wife team, Tom and Raquel. Below are some examples of their elegant earrings.
Have you considered costume jewelry? What will you be wearing on your wedding day?

Thank you for this link - I will have a look for the bridesmaids!
I was a bit worried about my budget when shopping for jewellery, because I was really after deco-style as well.
I found the perfect earrings while shopping on Brunswick St in Melbourne, but they were ASU120 (just for glass!!). I took a note of the designer and style and found them online for less than AUD60 including postage to Australia. Very happy! The designer is Anne Koplik and I found them on one of her websites.
