I have also thought about giving them to her at her graduation a week prior to the wedding. Then she would not feel any pressure to wear them at the wedding. Lots to think about. I have 6 or 7 months to think about it. Thanks for all the great advice.

Thanks. That is great advice. Her mom is very, very close to her and I think as the day gets closer they will discuss her jewelry for the day. Her mom will know about this and can steer her away from buying anything herself... I also am not married to the idea (get the pun) that she will...
