You can buy pretty costume jewelry at affordable prices, you can borrow real jewels from family and friends, or you can rent expensive, one-of-a-kind pieces. Whichever route you go, you are sure to sparkle!

If you are buying, here a few pretty trinkets I found by browsing online. These two pieces are availible at Anna Bellagio: Sophisticated and Affordable Bridal Jewelry. The earings cost $54.00 and the bracelet costs $48.00.

You can buy designer knockoffs such as this Fred Leighton Inspired  Earring & Pendant Set (89.99) or this Vera Wang Inspired Necklace ($49.99)at overstockjeweler.com.

If you just can’t abandon the thought of wearing real, red-carpet-worthy gems, you can rent peices from a place like Adorn Bridal. This Lloyd pearl and diamond bangle bracelet retails for $7,600.00 and can be rented for $290.00. These white gold and diamond earings would cost you $3,030 to purchase, but only $100 to rent.
