Can birthstone jewelry double as bridal jewelry?

My fiancé bought me a beautiful bracelet set with my birthstone (which is topaz by the way). I know that birthstone jewelry isn't commonly used as bridal jewelry and was wondering if it would be OK for me to wear birthstone jewelry on my wedding day?

Of course you can! You should wear whatever type of jewelry you want, whether it be birthstone jewelry, diamond jewelry or plastic jewelry. Anything goes! Jewelry doesn't have to be covered in diamonds or pearls to be considered bridal jewelry. If you love your birthstone bracelet then you should definitely wear it. Birthstone jewelry is imbued with sentimentality and symbolism. That's why this type of jewelry would be perfect as bridal jewelry. Also, I think it's a great idea to wear colorful birthstone jewelry with your wedding gown. A beautiful piece of birthstone jewelry can nicely complement your wedding dress and it will make you look a little less traditional and a lot more fashionable and chic. Colorful wedding jewelry has become all the rage when it comes to today's wedding accessory market. Not everyone can afford expensive, extravagant diamond jewelry. Brides are now opting to wear more affordable, incredibly stylish , trendy birthstone and colorful gemstone jewelry. Don't be afraid to experiment with your bridal jewelry. Mix and match pieces and find what best suits you and what best accentuates your bridal gown.

I don't know about that. Birthstone jewelry can sometimes like kind of cheap and I don't think you want to look cheap on your wedding day. I guess it depends on what kind of birthstones we're talking about. Birthstones can range from cheap stones like garnets, opals and onyxes to really expensive stones like emeralds, sapphires and rubies. I suppose if you really love your bracelet and if you really want to wear it then you could always pair it with additional, more luxurious, gemstone jewelry. For example, you could wear your topaz bracelet and wear fancy colored yellow diamond earrings to match. Or, you could add a stunning diamond choker to augment your appearance.
