Queen Bee Goes Bridal

My colleague, who's getting married in November, asked me for ideas on where to find unique wedding jewelry. She's looking for large, chunky, estate style earings (but not "too granny") to go with her Chantilly lace gown. Designer consignment boutiques like Secondi and Annie Creamcheese immediately came to mind, and then I started to Google.

Imagine my surprise and joy to find that my favorite local jewelry designer, Allison Brooks of Queen Bee Designs is now making custom bridal jewelry for brides, bridesmaids, MOBs and MOGs. A custom necklace, bracelet, or pair of earrings is a unique and thoughtful gift for those who will stand by you on your wedding day.

Even better, a Queen Bee one-of-a-kind is a wonderful "something new" for yourself! The "Eleanor" would be simply stunning paired with a wedding gown, particularly if you dared to wear more than one. If memory serves, I believe First Lady Laura Bush wore two strands of this rock quartz beauty at the Press Corps dinner several years ago. Queen Bee is also now available for private shows; what better way to liven up a bridal shower or bachelorette party than with jewelry shopping on demand?
