Chinese wedding must-haves
Dragon & Phoenix Gold Bangles
Elders often present a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets during the tea-offering ceremony, which symbolise the pairing of kindred spirits, and prosperity brought by the dragon and the phoenix. Some bracelets are crafted with traditional dragon and phoenix imagery or Chinese characters representing 'double happiness', while other modernised options feature three-dimensional relief or icons depicted in Chinese paper cutting style, and so on.

Tips: For Cantonese and Hakka families, Dragon and phoenix bracelets are always purchased in pairs, as the pairing of the bracelets and featured iconography is what makes a pair of bracelets utterly exclusive to the auspicious couple. When wearing the bracelet, some believe that the 'left dragon and right phoenix' principle must be followed. Typically, narrower pieces are worn further down and near to the wrist and hand, while the wider bracelets are normally worn near the top of the arm.
Pig Icon Necklaces
The gold pig necklace is definitely a focal point for photos taken during the tea offering ceremony. Gold pig necklaces are usually presented by parents-in-law as a blessing of fertility, bestowing upon the couple 'a family full of children and grandchildren'.
In recent years, the gold pig necklace has made a comeback among young newlyweds. More contemporary designs have sprouted, making them trendy, in-vogue wedding essentials.

Tips: In addition to gauging the shape, form and expression of the featured pigs and piglets, it's worth paying attention to the physical length of the gold pig necklace. Some come in 4 or 5 'layers' (i.e. the number of little baby piglets) long - which may appear too long if the bride is especially petite!
Other Gold Jewellery
Gold rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets can all be used to dress up the traditional Chinese wedding gown. However, to really stand out on your big day, adorning golden hair accessories will definitely do the trick.

Tips: After wearing, gently wipe the gold jewellery pieces with a soft cloth (such as an eyeglass cloth or gentle gauze) to remove any accumulated dirt, sweat, and sebum. When they are not being worn, the jewellery should be stored independently to avoid scratches and any accidental damage.

Western-style Wedding Must-haves
Necklace and Bangle
After choosing a wedding gown, the next step is to select jewellery to match it. Since most wedding gowns and evening gowns are off-the-shoulder, it is recommended to choose necklaces first, so that they can be matched with bracelets and other accessories to highlight the bride's features and taste.

Tips: The wedding gown, evening wear, and matching accessories should all be considered together. This means not putting 'exaggerated' or extraordinarily eclectic items together, so as not to lose any sense of overall impression and thereby creating a balanced look.

Earrings
As so many wedding photos from the big day will be high-resolution close-up shots of the bride, a pair of elegant, delicately-crafted earrings is an indispensable part of the occasion. The bride may opt for anything her heart desires, from modest understatement to dramatic and imposing styles which add to the glamour and sense of occasion.

Tip: If you choose a more heavily-styled statement necklace, you should avoid pairing it with a set of statement earrings at the same time, to ensure that a perfect balance is created and the overall impression is not 'too much' – unless that's the look you're going for, of course!
The greatest gift for bridesmaids
The Maid of Honour and bridesmaids are a big part of your wedding. The 'Love Knot' bracelet serves as the perfect small gift by way of thanks from the bride, and can be worn on the wedding day to create a coordinated look among the bridesmaids.
A diamond bracelet combines 18K rose gold and a red rope offset effect, which represents the spirit of the occasion – a lover's knot - as well as being representative of the bridesmaid's relationship with the bride, and their friendship lasting forever.
