Shoulder Jewelry and Shoulder Accessories for Weddings

Shoulder Necklaces

There are many ways to accessorize a strapless wedding dress - and one of the most unique and opulent ways I've seen is with a shoulder necklace, shoulder jewelry, or an embellished bridal cape or drape. Much like the fantastic toppers and add-on options we're seeing bridal gowns that allow you to have several looks with just one new accessory, these statement-makers add ornamentation and act as a necklace and some also act as a bit of coverage sleeve in one striking piece.

One below even becomes a back necklace, another beautiful and unique way to add a little something new to an otherwise simple wedding gown. Truly, they are unique pieces that will leave a lasting impression.

Here are some of the most elegant examples of bridal shoulder jewelry I've found in my recent searches.  You'll also find so many great artisans on Etsy making these shoulder necklaces, so have a look and find one that perfectly suits your personal style. Also take a look at our features on bridal robes, bridal capes and tops for wedding dresses, winter wraps for weddings, and bridal wedding jewelry for more style ideas. 

Where to Find Shoulder Necklaces 

We've collected this shoppable section of bridal shoulder necklaces to help you find the perfect style for your look.

 

 

Additionally, here are some of the shoulder necklaces for wedding dresses and brides we featured when this article was first published in September 2015. Some of these are now out of stock, but you may still be able to find some wedding shoulder jewelry on Etsy. 

We love bridal jewelry by Camilla Christine, and GibsonBespoke to name a few!
