Gold Goddess

I have to admit I designed my wedding jewellery and tiara before I knew what dress I was having. The colour theme was never really a big dilema...RED! It's in my hair...my bedroom...my car...why not my wedding!

I've been delaying buying the jewels for my wedding tiara and accessories, but I'm now on the verge of a splurge!  I'm dreaming of rich red ruby gemstones cut as teardrops, but the rubies I've found so far are much pinker than I've imagined.  Maybe my faceted teardrops will have to be a deep red garnet gemstone instead, surrounded by sparkling Swarovski crystals. 

I'm not normally a gold girl...it's silver rings and silver things...but last year I wore gold accessories for a friends wedding in Vegas (the Bellagio, of course!), and I felt positively glowing.  Then in December my gorgeous man proposed to me and presented me with his grandmothers engagement ring...a beautiful antique gold ring set with three diamonds.  So now I'm thinking my wedding is the perfect time to feel like a goddess and go gold!

The design...well, you'll have to come back to see some sketches later. But I will say...it's not what I'd have imagined I would go for.

Check back soon.
