Bridal shower jewelry gifts have changed quite a bit from their origin. Although they still remain a commonality in American weddings, we believe they have changed for the better. Historically these parties, “socialized women into the hyper-feminized traditional wife role”, according to sociologist Beth Montemurro. Nowadays, more women remain in the workforce so the “traditional” wife role and the associated gifts have changed.

At Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers, we came with several bridal shower jewelry gifts that the bride-to-be would actually use every day.

Bridal Shower Jewelry Gifts

We are firm believers of owning a solid pair of pearl earrings or a necklace. Dress them down into a casual chic look or wear them when presenting a trial, pearls are one of the most versatile pieces of jewelry you can own. Plus, they look great when she walks down the aisle!

Pearl Pendant Necklace

The Pearl Pendant Necklace is a beautiful 9mm freshwater pearl pendant (17mm total) necklace set in either 14k white or yellow gold affixed to a 18” cable chain necklace. It is simple, elegant and affordable, retailing at $245.

Fresh Water Pearl Studs

Like the pearl pendant necklace, these fresh water pearl studs are another piece of absolutely fabulous jewelry. Set in 14k white gold, the 5mm fresh water pearl studs retail at $150.

St. Christopher Medal

As you can tell, we thoroughly enjoy bridal jewelry that is functional and can be worn all the time.  You can engrave a St. Christopher medals to add a personal touch for the recipient. The medals are said to protect the wearer as they journey through life because he is the patron saint of safe travels. As she begins another major journey, that is marriage, a St. Christopher medal can be a perfect companion for this exciting trip. The medals are available at Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers in an array of sizes and colors.
