Brianna, Elizabeth & Ashley Navy Necklaces

Our Fall Line of Navy Blue Crystal Jewelry


Fall is here, and not only is it time to break out your favorite seasonal wardrobe, it is time to dress in layers! Your cardigans, scarves, jackets, hats, sweaters and blazers will give even the simplest dress a variety of distinct looks, but the right jewelry will multiply your options exponentially. Dabby Reid’s Brianna, Elizabeth and Ashley designs welcome autumn with bold navy blue and gold combinations. Layer your jewelry as well as your clothing for outfit options that are as ever-changing as the fall foliage.

The Ashley Navy Goldstone Necklace




Our Ashley navy necklaces feature a daring strand of polished goldstone with Swarovski crystal separators and smaller goldstone beads along the neckline. Pair your Ashley necklace with your favorite navy sheath dress to add some variety to your workplace attire, or use it to transition your favorite white blouse from summer to fall. Do you want to show off your new autumn hairstyle? Pair this classic silhouette with matching goldstone earrings to draw attention to your new look.

The Brianna Navy Goldstone Necklace




Our Brianna navy necklaces each feature a unique combination of faceted goldstone, cat’s eye, Czech glass and Swarovski crystal. Three strands of hand-selected crystal and semi-precious stone diminish in size as they get closer to the neckline and are separated by attractive gold metalwork. Catch every eye in the crowd at this season’s next special occasion with three tiers of gorgeous navy blue stones.

The Elizabeth Navy Blue Pendant




Transitioning from summer to fall does not mean that you have to sacrifice any of your wardrobe’s radiance. Our Elizabeth navy blue pendant offers an iridescent display of bold autumn color at the end of a handmade gold chain. Create a focal point for layered necklaces or let it stand on its own as the crowning jewel on your favorite outfit.

Memorable Bridesmaid Accessories

Choosing Meaningful Jewelry for Your Bridal Party



The jewelry that adorns your wedding is as essential to your theme as the flowers and the table setting. By exploring a few new ideas, you can add variety and distinction to your bridal party’s accessories while giving them a truly personal touch.

Make Your Party’s Accessories their Bridesmaid Gifts

Friends and family who are exceptional enough to be a special part of your special day deserve exceptional treatment. While their bridesmaid dresses may be something that they only wear once, carefully selected jewelry serves as memory of the touching occasion, a beautiful part of the ceremony itself and a thoughtful wedding party gift. Pearls and transparent crystal are a particularly attractive choice that will match virtually any bridesmaid dress, they will complement the white of your gown, and they will be versatile enough for your wedding party to wear with future outfits.

A Minimalist Approach

Are you concerned that a large necklace would overshadow your party’s iridescent dresses? Would a full set of sparkling crystal distract from your own dress and jewelry? Consider having your bridesmaids wear delicate necklaces and simple drop earrings for the perfect combination of subtlety and distinction.

Adding Variety to the Wedding Party

You can add diversity to your party’s bridesmaid accessories by allowing each to choose their own set of jewelry. Select a color that matches your theme and then schedule an accessory party where each bridesmaid chooses their own necklace, bracelet and earring combination from a matching collection. You can combine all three traditions by selecting a minimalist necklace that all of your bridesmaids will wear and then having each pick their own unique set of earrings as a gift.
