My Favorite Places To Shop For Event Jewelry

 It’s not uncommon for summer to be busy with travel, but this year that especially feels like the case. After being limited over the last year, it seems like everyone is getting out of town, making seeing friends during the week more crucial. In addition to fun trips and vacations, there are lots of makeup weddings going on as well. I’m headed to one this weekend in Charlotte for my friend Ellison from college! She and her husband had a small ceremony last year, but after having looked forward to this event for nearly two years, I’m thrilled for her that it is finally here.

In addition to the clothes and toiletries (which will probably just stay packed all summer) I dread packing, I’ve some fun event jewelry that I’m excited to finally break out again. Since I know I’m not alone having a busy social calendar, I wanted to take a moment to share some of my favorite places to find jewelry for weddings and events.

No matter the dress code, I feel like earrings especially can have a large impact on an outfit and tend to be my statement piece when getting dressed. I’ve always been more traditional in my taste of jewelry but will branch out a bit for events while typically sticking to my favorite stone, pearls. I’ve included a few of my favorite websites to shop for pieces below in case you’re on the hunt for something new!

Adler Grier

Adler Grier is my most recent brand discovery, and I am so excited to introduce them to y’all! Each piece is handcrafted and beautifully chic. I love that the pieces I have from the brand can be dressed up or down, and the necklace I have in particular is such a cute everyday piece! Although I tend to gravitate toward hoops or some sort-of dangly earring for events, I’ve found myself reaching for these Pearl Clover Studs when I have a dress that may be more of a statement. Next on my list from them is a pair of earrings from their new Dogwood Flower collection. The details of the flowers and leaves on the pieces are stunning! 

Ashley Woods Designs

I’ve worn pieces by Ashley for a few years now and always keep them packed in my jewelry case when traveling for a wedding. I even wore one of her earring sets as a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. Her mother of pearl pieces are what I gravitate toward, but she also has some playful rattan earrings that look ready for a beach trip and has introduced some colored stones into her collections as well. 

Vivian Drew 

If you follow me on Instagram, you may recognize Vivian Drew from a couple of stories I did at the beginning of the month before heading to a black-tie event. I was looking for something that would work well with a patterned gown I was wearing and happily settled on these Pearl Flower Ball Hoops. They worked great for that event and continue to get a lot of wear with their unique shape and subtle statement! 

I’d love to know where y’all shop for statement pieces of jewelry!
