When you pair my indecision with the fact that I don’t normally wear a lot of jewelry, deciding on a necklace for my wedding day is almost impossible. I want something simple and that probably doesn’t involve diamonds. The next logical choice would be pearls, but I don’t think a standard strand of pearls really fits my personality or the level of formality we’re going for. Then I saw this picture of from lucky7wife’s knot bio:

The necklace is just one long strand of coin pearls that the bride (Molly) let hang down her back…I think it’s perfect! I looked around online and found a close match from Etsy seller BeadleJules:



I love that it can be worn so many different ways…I can make a purchase and still don’t have to make up my mind! And if I decide to go Molly’s route and wear it hanging down my back, I can just cut off the clasps and always reattach them later. I am still debating about going sans necklace, I might have to try this on with my dress and see how it looks before I make the final decision. What do you think? Are you wearing a necklace?
I’m definitely not a jewelry girl, so I was planning on wearing my mother’s pearls from her wedding. Tradition means not having to decide for yourself!
We ended up having a spare loose diamond (from the groom’s extraordinarily generous family, poor us), so we combined it with a black pearl from my family and made a neat pendant that joins the two families. Oh, the weeping when people heard about that!
The super cool thing about the necklace you’re looking at is the literally endless variety. You’d be using that for years to come.
