Beautiful bride - the pearls suit her just perfectly.

As for the wedding rings, there is a lot of fantasy invested in it, they are not just traditional plain rings but often designers' rings with fancy elements, small diamonds etc. If one is a Protestant or an Orthodox, it is on the right hand, if Catholic - on the left.
Before the war it was common that a plain golden ring was first an engagemnet ring (left hand) and later a wedding ring (right hand). Although widows also wear them on the left hand. Very confusing... |
I like the idea of engagement earrings! They are wearable even if you are using your hands a lot. Plus no trying to fit something under a glove or otherwise worrying about the life of the setting.
