Without a doubt, the most popular form of bridal jewelry (besides the engagement ring of course) is pearl jewelry - especially pearl necklaces. Pearl necklaces come in two basic styles - strand necklaces and pendant necklaces. Pearl strand necklaces feature multiple pearls strung close together.

The two most popular pearl necklace styles for brides are collars and chokers. Collar pearl necklaces have a Victorian look and are often made up of two or more strands worn high on the neck. Choker pearl necklaces are similar but a little longer and designed to rest on the collarbone.

Often a "bridal set" is purchased, which is a necklace and matching earrings.
