Sentimental Journey

Q I'd like to have a bespoke piece of jewellery to wear on my wedding day. Can you make any suggestions as to how it could incorporate our winter theme?
A Andrew Leggett says: Wedding jewellery is very often costume jewellery, which means it's made from non-precious materials, like base metals and imitation stones, so you can go all out for your winter theme without worrying whether it will be worn again.

If you want real jewellery that you'll be able to wear in the future though, you might want to choose something that's not too weddingy. This depends on your personal style.

When it comes to the winter theme, white metals like silver or platinum have a colder look than yellow gold, and diamonds or white crystals add to that effect. If you're going for coloured gems, you should be guided by your palette and find something that fits it.
