Wedding jewellery gift ideas for brides
Molten lab-grown diamond jewellery gifts
Designed with brides in mind, our new collection of molten gold, lab-grown diamond jewellery features pieces that are perfect for special occasions, as well as beautiful for everyday wear. With molten textures, light-catching shapes, and statement 0.25ct and 0.5ct lab-diamonds, this collection is inspired by milestone moments, as well as the magic found in ordinary ones. Choose our 9ct Gold Molten Diamond Pendant Necklace for the minimal bride who loves elegant sparkle, or Mini Sun Earrings to bring warmth and sunshine to her newly-married days.
Nature-inspired lucky jewellery
Nature-inspired jewellery also makes a wonderful wedding present for brides. If she loves to be out in nature and often looks to the beauty of the world around her in her day-to-day life, our Magic in Nature collection is full of pieces she'll adore. Our Oak Leaf Earrings are beautifully unique hoop dangle earrings, which carry the ancient folklore belief that when caught, oak leaves were believed to bring good health for the year to come. Or treat her to our Mini Acorn Necklace, a mini pendant necklace in the shape of an acorn, known as a lucky talisman - perfect as she enters married life.
Wedding jewellery gifts for grooms
It goes without saying that jewellery can be worn by anyone of any gender, but for those looking for a wedding gift for a soon-to-be groom in their life, read on as we share some of the chunkier designs that are most popular among our male customers...
Meaningful Saint Christopher jewellery
Our Saint Christopher Signet Ring is one of our bestselling pieces, with its timeless symbol thought to bring good fortune to the wearer. Our take on this timeless design features a softly organic texture on the band, giving a well-loved, heirloom feel to the ring. This is perfect for a loved one to wear on their honeymoon and beyond, but if the only ring they'd like to wear into married life is their wedding ring, gift them our Saint Christopher Pendant Necklace instead - available with the option of complimentary engraving in both recycled sterling silver and solid 9 carat gold.
Personalised hammered ring
A personalised jewellery gift engraved with handwriting makes a wonderful wedding gift. With the engraved message being in handwriting, an extra element of sentimentality is added for a gift that's truly personal, thoughtful, and one-of-a-kind. For grooms, our Hammered Handwriting Ring engraved with a special word, date, or short quote makes the perfect choice. A 4mm or 5mm band ring with hand-hammered texture is an effortless ring to wear every day, with the handwritten engraving hidden on the inside of the ring, only known to the wearer and held close.
Meaningful jewellery gifts for newlyweds
If you'd like to gift the happy couple matching or complementary jewellery pieces, there are many ways to tie them together to symbolise their relationship.
Jewellery gifts for couples with matching engraving
The first is gifting them different pieces with the same engraved message. Choose something to suit each member of the couple perfectly - perhaps one of our personalisable zodiac sign necklaces for the bride, and our Silver Personalised Chunky Bangle for the groom - and engrave their wedding date, initials, or something else that symbolises your relationship with the couple.

Jewellery gifts in their preferred metal
Another way to tie together their wedding jewellery gifts is to tailor them to their metal preferences. Choose one piece that both parties in the couple will love, in yellow gold for the one who only wears warm-toned jewellery, and a silver or white-gold version if the other prefers cool-toned metal. The gift is tied together by design, but tailored to suit them individually! If you'd like any of our 9ct yellow gold jewellery crafted in white gold, simply get in touch with us at bespoke@wildfawnjewellery.com.
The perfect wedding gift for creative couples
If the couple you're buying a gift for is the creative kind, why not choose an experience-based wedding gift for them to enjoy together? We hold regular ring-making workshops in our South East London studio, perfect for individuals and couples wanting to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday crafting something of their own. For their wedding gift, we recommend purchasing two of our Jewellery Making Workshop Vouchers, which secures two spaces in an upcoming workshop of their choosing.
How to choose jewellery as a wedding gift
If you're not sure what jewellery to choose for their wedding gift, consider the following to help you decide on something they're sure to love.
- What metal do they prefer to wear? Make sure you know what metal your soon-to-be brides and grooms prefer! A good way to do this is to take a look at what jewellery they are wearing when you see them next, or take a look at photographs to see if they wear more gold or silver-toned pieces. Choosing a piece of jewellery in their preferred metal will mean they're more likely to love it and wear it!
- How long will it take to arrive? Take into consideration how long your chosen jewellery gift will take to make and arrive with you, especially if purchasing from a small, independent brand that makes each piece to order, like us at Wild Fawn. Always refer to delivery guidance, especially if choosing personalised or bespoke jewellery, with plenty of time ahead of the wedding.
- What is their ring size? If you want to purchase a stacking ring for their wedding gift, make sure you purchase it in the correct size! If you don't know it, ask other friends and family, and if still no luck, perhaps opt for a necklace or treat them to a gift card instead.
- What matters to the couple when it comes to purchasing goods for themselves? Think about what matters most to the couple you are buying wedding gifts for. If they are eco-conscious and like to wear jewellery that's been made with care in the UK, choose a piece from a brand that puts sustainability at the heart of everything they do. At Wild Fawn, our jewellery is made from start to finish in the UK using 100% recycled metals. We only ever make what we sell, meaning no mass-production or wasted materials. We also send everything in plastic-free packaging, including our gift wrap; Wild Fawn jewellery is for couples who truly care where their jewellery comes from and who made it.
- What do you want your jewellery gift to symbolise? Would you like to choose a wedding gift that carries a certain meaning? As we mentioned above, many jewellery pendants like the Saint Christopher hold deep meaning. You could add meaning to your jewellery gift with engraving, or by designing something bespoke with a specific gemstone; perhaps the bride's or groom's birthstones, for example. The possibilities are endless! If you have an idea for something bespoke, just book a free consultation with us here.
Frequently asked questions about wedding jewellery gifts
Is jewellery a good wedding gift?
Absolutely - jewellery makes a great wedding gift. We love how jewellery has the power to hold memories and meaning, and a wedding day is certainly a moment to capture, remember, and wear close.
What jewellery do you give as a wedding gift?
Popular jewellery gifts for brides range from diamond earrings to pearl jewellery, while simple signet rings or chains for grooms are often thought as good, failsafe wedding gifts. With that being said, there is no right or wrong jewellery to give as a wedding gift - simply choose something that you know the bride, groom, or happy couple will love! As you're on their wedding guest list, it's likely you are very close to the couple and so will know them well enough to choose something to their taste. Browse articles and gift guides (like this one!) if you would like some inspiration or advice in choosing the perfect gift, or reach out to bespoke jewellery specialists for tailored-to-you advice.
What is a traditional wedding gift?
The most traditional wedding gifts are often homewares, like ceramics, crockery and candles, or monetary donations to contribute to honeymoons, first homes or the couple's married life together.
Jewellery makes wonderful wedding gifts, including personalised pieces of meaningful gold jewellery they'll treasure for years to come, or jewellery with lab-grown diamonds or gemstones for something extra special.
Experience-based gifts are also popular wedding gifts, like a voucher for a high-end restaurant, or a creative craft-based workshop to learn new skills in a relaxed, fun environment.
