Could anyone help me choose some earrings/jewellery for this outfit please?

Outfit for two weddings at the end of this week. Struggling to find jewellery to match. Normally I just wear diamond studs as I'm a glasses wearer and busy jewellery 'competes' but I'll be in contact lenses so think I could do with some dangly earrings. If it helps, my hair is blonde, shoulder length, and I'll be wearing it down wavy/loose curls. Would really appreciate any help! Thanks.

Can you help give us a little more guidance please? What price point are you looking for? Do you want stones, gold, etc? Your style seems feminine and understated. Do you want it to look really expensive or more fun and unique perhaps? Anything you can offer will help. Thanks!

Pearl studs in 9 or 10mm would be my suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm considering pearls. Jennie, I'm open to either costume or 'proper' jewellery at the moment, price-wise don't want to spend more than £500, ideally less. Thinking yellow gold rather than white, so as not to clash with the chain on my bag. Stones-wise, maybe pearl, sapphire, or anything else dark blue or grey. Not sure whether to go big and costumey or small and understated. I have some costume silver and marcasite dangly earrings already which looked good apart from the silver clashing with my bag. Marcasite was a good match for the grey and blue in the dress. Not sure if sapphires would look a bit 'blingy' iykwim?

Ok, I've had another look at pearls but I still can't get past the old lady vibe they give me, so pearls are out

I would suggest a blue accent stone. Perhaps gorgeous blue sapphire drop earrings...

That's what I'm thinking right now. Tough to find some with yellow gold though. Sapphires look so pretty against white gold.

Something simple and elegant like this:

Those are pretty and would play up the dark blue in the dress. Blue topaz might be pretty too if you like that stone.

Also, what about a bracelet? I was thinking a bangle or cuff might be nice with the dress.

I have a very simple diamond bracelet that I tend to wear for 'best' so I'll probably wear that, although that's white gold too http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/9ct-Gold-Diamond-Bracelet/p/12110635/

These are nice. Do you have a link? I think I recognise them from all my googling this evening

I don't mind mixing metals so I think that is perfect!

+1 sapphire drop earrings. Would go beautifully with your outfit.
