Boho jewelry for brides and wedding guests
Earrings, necklaces and rings for the big day, based on your dress, the type of wedding and your hairstyle.
Boho bridal jewelry works when it complements the dress instead of competing with it: fine silver, moonstone, chains that drape down your back or a head chain woven through your hair. The same goes for guests, with a little more freedom for color and sparkle.
In this guide we tell you which jewelry to choose based on your dress, the type of wedding, your neckline and your hairstyle, plus what to give your bridesmaids.
Boho bridal jewelry to match your dress
The dress is your starting point. The more detail it has, the finer your jewelry can be; the simpler it is, the more the jewelry can take center stage.
- Earrings: they're the piece that shows most in photos. Long if you're wearing an updo; small if your hair is down or you're wearing a head chain.
- Necklace: only if your neckline calls for one. With many boho dresses it's better to leave your neck bare and wear the piece on your back.
- Rings: delicate ones, so they complement your wedding band without competing with it.
-
Lace or embroidered dress
Your dress already has plenty of detail, so go for delicate pieces and moonstone. The Balakrishna earrings feature three teardrop moonstones, and the Swati ring has a single teardrop moonstone.
-
Plain or minimalist dress
Here you can turn up the sparkle. The Siddhi earrings feature four teardrop cubic zirconia stones, and the Sakra earrings two pearls.
-
Backless dress
Wear your jewelry at the back. The Sadhana body chain, gold-plated and made of lots of tiny rings, drapes down your back and catches the eye as you walk.
-
With flowers or loose hair
The Damayanti head chain, made of five fine chains, is worn through your hair like a headpiece. Pair it with small earrings.
A ring to go with your wedding band. The Vimaan ring is one of San Saru's finest and pairs with any other ring.

Wedding guest jewelry by type of wedding
The venue and the time of day make a big difference to which jewelry shines. Choose your type of wedding and we'll tell you where to start.
Beach wedding
Light pieces that won't weigh you down or tangle in the wind. It's the moment for anklets and finger bracelets, especially if you're wearing flat sandals.
- Neyen anklet: flat and close to the ankle.
- Trishna bracelet: a finger bracelet with an eye in the center.
- Firoza earrings: simple, with moonstone.
Countryside wedding
Natural stones and details that bring nature to mind. With earth-toned or green dresses, a colored stone stands out effortlessly.
- Tuli ring: with natural amazonite.
- Moksha necklace: a star and a moon with cubic zirconia.
- Lilavati earrings: a star with a dangling moon.
Evening wedding
In low light, jewelry needs more sparkle. Cubic zirconia and long earrings can be seen from afar and look great in flash photos.
- Tamas earrings: a round stone and five rectangular cubic zirconia stones.
- Saat necklace: a very delicate choker with cubic zirconia.
- Bahut necklace: a choker that hugs your neck.
One rule for any wedding
The bride is the star. If your dress has a busy print, choose simple jewelry; if it's plain, you can go for long earrings or a sparkly choker.
Shop party jewelryHow to choose by neckline and hairstyle
By neckline
| Neckline | Necklace | Earrings |
|---|---|---|
| V-neck | A pendant that follows the line of the neckline, like the Moksha necklace. | Medium or long. |
| Strapless | A choker that sits close to the neck, like the Bahut necklace or the Saat necklace. | Small, so it doesn't feel overdone. |
| Round | A short necklace that sits above the neckline. | Hoops or short earrings. |
| High or boat neck | No necklace: the neckline already fills that space. | Long, so they're the star piece. |
| Backless | A body chain that drapes down your back, like the Sadhana body chain. | Depends on your hairstyle. |
By hairstyle
-
Updo
It leaves your ears and neck on show: this is the moment for long earrings, like the Siddhi or the Balakrishna.
-
Hair down
Your hair covers part of your ear, so short or stud earrings work better. If you want an extra touch, try a head chain like the Damayanti.
-
Braid or half-up
The most boho hairstyle. Pair medium earrings with a head chain like the Damayanti, or with fresh flowers.
Jewelry gifts for your bridesmaids
A little something for the friends by your side on the big day. Giving everyone the same piece to wear at the wedding works beautifully, or you can choose a different one for each.
- Vimaan ring: very delicate and easy to pair.
- Swati ring: with a teardrop moonstone.
- Firoza earrings: simple, with moonstone, to wear long after the wedding.
- Moksha necklace: a star and moon with cubic zirconia.

Wedding jewelry FAQ
It mostly depends on the color of your dress. Silver usually looks best with bright white; with ivory, champagne or off-white tones, gold. If you're wearing family heirlooms, let them set the tone for the rest.
Choose one statement piece and let the rest complement it. If you're wearing long earrings, skip the necklace or choose a very delicate one; if you're wearing a head chain, small earrings are best.
Yes. Look for pieces with more sparkle, like cubic zirconia or long earrings, that stand out in low light, and pair them with the boho style of the rest of your look.
A couple of weeks ahead gives you time to try them on with your dress. If they're personalized pieces, order them earlier, because they're handmade and can't be returned.
