A pearl headband – leading the bridal jewelry charts

קשת פנינים

Every bride wants to be a queen – and what does she need if not a crown on her head? A pearl headband, gleaming and noble, that will crown her as a bride for a day.

The crown element on a bride’s head is an ancient and well-known ornament, and not only for princesses and queens by birth. The phrase “be a queen for a day” finds expression in the princess-like, regal look of every bride who wants to feel like a queen on this day – the most important day of her life, the day she marries the one she loves and builds a home. The celebration is hers; it is a kind of ball and a covenant of love, and every woman wants to feel a little like Cinderella, to throw a fairy-tale event and to look like a princess out of the movies – and the crown is the piece only she can place on her head, because there is no chance any other woman there will do so. She is the queen today, and the crown is hers.

The feeling of being a queen is entirely natural. It comes with a great deal of excitement, butterflies in the stomach, and months of preparation until the long-awaited moment arrives – the moment the man crowns her as his own private queen. She will walk in small steps into the hall, hear the cheers and the applause, and have a crown on her head as is the custom at every coronation. She is a queen, and a pearl headband on her head, matched to her haircut or hairstyle, completes her regal look. This is the day of the pearl headband.

Crowns on brides’ heads – a modern design of the pearl headband

If you look at photographs of brides from the past, almost every one of them had a crown on her head – with Swarovski stones or gemstones resembling diamonds. The crown was an obligatory ornament for a queen for a day. No bride gave it up; it was the only day in her life that she wore it, and afterwards she kept it for generations to come.

For many years crowns were made from diamond-like stones – a bold imitation of a real queen’s crown – but today wearing a crown is a somewhat different act. There are all kinds of crowns designed for brides with different stones or design elements in gold-filled or brass, but the most sought-after crown today is not a crown at all – it is what is called a pearl headband.

This headband is made of a row of close-set pearls, resting elegantly on the head, and it suits the look of a bride with loose hair, a natural rustic look, or a bride with a ballerina look. In every case the headband will draw admiration, no matter which look you choose.

A comeback for pearls in bridal jewelry

If Swarovski stones celebrated at weddings for a long stretch, today it is the pearls’ turn to come out of their oysters and take pride of place on brides’ heads. The most prominent trend of the moment, in fashion and in the wedding world alike, is that the most beautiful thing is for a bride to look as natural as possible. That means that where once there were brides who went for a hairstyle that reached the chandelier, most of them today wear their hair loose in an “I didn’t try” look, with ends falling seemingly naturally at the sides, or in a gathered style that lets a few unruly strands fall and gives the look of a country girl, or of a woman who came back from India and married the man she did yoga with. This is the bride who will wear a simple rustic dress in the most natural cut and choose a pearl headband for her head.

She wants to be a queen too, but not with too much sparkle – rather with the look of a natural seashell, and to hear waves of joy at her wedding.

Want a stunning look? Choose bridal jewelry from a well-known designer

There is no one who does not want to knock everyone out at her wedding with the most stunning look, which is why it is well known that brides spend a great deal of time choosing a dress and the jewelry they will wear.

It is worth saying that brides already know that to save themselves time and running around there is a well-known bridal designer in central Tel Aviv, and that all the brides who are considered and discerning come to her to buy bridal jewelry. Some of them even bring a photo of the dress with them so that the match will be perfect.

It is not only that her jewelry is the most original and draws admiration at every wedding; it is also that from her experience she knows how to advise every bride which pieces suit the style of her dress and her shoes – and when it comes to a pearl headband, it always wins, because it suits every look.

Future brides – remember two important things. When you buy bridal jewelry, go only to the well-known designer with her flattering, original pieces, and get her advice on the jewelry. If she made a headpiece for Lady Gaga, she can certainly help you too.
