Finding Discount Wedding Jewelry

See current jewelry discounts here.

If you are like most brides, unplanned wedding expenses will arise and, at some point, you may find your original wedding budget stretched beyond recognition. The good news is your wedding jewelry need not break the budget. While most of us yearn for real diamonds, top-quality pearls and gold or platinum, the fact is there is a beautiful selection of discount wedding jewelry available, if you know how to find it.

One way to have beautiful wedding jewelry, while staying within a tight budge, is to look for costume wedding pieces that are duplicates (or near-duplicates) of fine jewelry. To the casual eye, today's faux stones and crystals are often indistinguishable from their "real" counterparts. For example, the rainbow of available cubic zirconium and crystal colors make them a perfect substitute for a variety of precious and semi-precious stones. Silver presents a similar look to white gold or platinum, yet, is much more economical. For the look of gold, consider gold plated sterling silver pieces, rather than solid gold. If you love pearls, freshwater cultured pearls are less expensive than their finer ocean counterparts. You can also buy pearl-shaped crystals. Here are some other ideas to help you shop for discount wedding jewelry:

• Ask for a discount. Independently owned jewelry stores and online jewelry designers have some discretion in pricing. If you plan to purchase several pieces, inquire about a volume discount.
• We can't say enough about ** for selection and price.
• Rent fine jewelry instead of buying it for your wedding.
• Make your own wedding jewelry. Did we mention eBay? There, you will find an endless selection of beads, crystals, and other jewelry components. Retail stores like Hobby Lobby also carry a selection of jewelry-making supplies.

Borrowed jewelry is the ultimate discount. A piece from your mother, grandmother, or other relative not only relieves the budget, but also adds a sentimental dimension to the wedding.
