The wedding is all about the bride and the groom. But they aren't the only ones making lasting memories at the wedding as your bridesmaids and maid of honor will undoubtedly play an important role. The bridesmaids had to put up with helping you get ready for your big day! That deserves recognition, right?
But how do we recognize the love and support our bridesmaids have given us? The answer lies within this article as we will be showcasing a multitude of different jewelry that you can give your bridesmaids as a thank you. There are so many different pieces that we offer that would make your connection to your bridesmaids even stronger.
From the bridal shower all the way to the last drink at the reception your bridesmaids have supported and honored you through it all. Now it's time for you to honor them back with some stunning jewelry! We want to make sure they know we appreciate them and their time and nothing says thank you more than a nice diamond necklace or a regal gold bracelet.
Gifting tips:
Before we jump into the wonderful gift options that Dunkin’s Diamonds has to offer let's get a better understanding of what makes a good brides made gift.
What you’re looking for…
- Jewelry that will remind the bridesmaids of the wedding long after the ceremony.
- Jewelry that is in the lower price range. Weddings are expensive enough don't overdo the gift unless you find it necessary for your situation.
- A piece you can get duplicates of (you usually don't have just one bridesmaid)
What to avoid…
- Avoid going overboard with the gifts. It is your wedding, the spotlight should be on you and your fiance. Plus you don't want to make other people at your wedding jealous when they find out the maid of honor got extra special treatment.
- Super cheap metal: avoid metals that will tarnish easily, most people don't want to wear jewelry that will only last a few months.
Things to consider…
- Look for a piece that can be gifted before the wedding that all the bridesmaids can wear with their outfits. (This will definitely make your outfits seem more planned)
- We recommend making sure the gift isn't demanding too much attention. The last thing you want is to give your bridesmaids a gift that draws attention away from the bride and groom.
Rings for the Bridesmaids
Marriage is filled with vows and unbreakable bonds. But there is something uniquely special about the bond between a bride and her bridesmaids.

That is why we think it would be adorable if you got them a ring that symbolizes that relationship. And don't worry! The rings won't be as fancy as your extravagant diamond wedding ring! The last thing we want is the bridesmaids to steal all the thunder on your big day. However, the rings you will grant them will still wow just about anyone.
Note: Depending on how many bridesmaids are at your wedding some of the following rings may be a bit pricey. Especially if you have a dozen or more bridesmaids.

White Gold 1/5 TDW Princess Diamond Earrings
