Stop the search! We’ve found the best jewelry for your white dresses, so you can style them uniquely and make them pop every time.
Every fashion girl knows the power of a little white dress (LWD). Versatile and effortless, an LWD delivers the sort of easy-breezy aesthetic we all yearn for, especially in the warmer months—be it for work, weekends or summer soirées. But perhaps one of the best parts about playing dress-up with a white dress is that it’s like a blank canvas, meaning there are a million ways to accessorize it and take it from basic to extraordinary (even though you’re not walking down the aisle).
The easiest way to do it? Colored gemstone jewelry; because it can help you achieve any aesthetic effortlessly whether you are playing the role of a wedding guest or a Sunday brunch companion!
However, styling a white dress can be more daunting than the thought of getting stains on it given that the best jewelry for a white dress should infuse depth, color and personality into your overall look while looking sophisticated.

Gemstone Jewelry for White Dress
1. Think Classic
If you want the focus to be on your dress (especially if it’s an embellished or a lacy white number) and still want to add shimmer to it, sparkling diamonds will prove to be your best friend.
This combo is also good for a polished, office-ready look. Just throw on a blazer over your LWD and team it with diamond studs, a solitaire necklace pendant and white gold diamond rings. And when you want to sport a casual vibe, lose the blazer and style it with hoop earrings, and layered diamond necklace pendant or bracelets. It’s that easy!

2. Elegant Preppiness
Pearls are always appropriate. But even more so when you want to amp up the look of your little white dress.
White gemstones, such as white pearls, complement and infuse a hint of soft glam into your LWD look. But with Tahitian black pearls, you can also achieve a look that screams edgy and cool.
There are many ways to style your white dresses with pearls. Opt for pearl studs and a strand necklace for a preppy look or channel elegance with long pearl drop earrings. You can also drip in ropes of pearl strand necklaces (think Kim K from Meta Gala 2023 ) if your neckline permits and the occasion calls for OTT glamour or try a tin-cup-style bracelet and pearl drops for a chic vibe.
So, how are you styling your pearls?

3. Brilliant Blues
IMO, blue gemstone jewelry and strappy white dresses are a match made in style heaven.
Blue gems serve as a focal point, adding intrigue to your ensemble without overpowering the look of the white dress. While gems with deep blue hues like blue sapphires (shop blue sapphire jewelry for women right away) and tanzanites lend a royal touch to your all-white ensemble, you can count on bright blue aquamarine, turquoise stones and Swiss blue topaz to give your LWDs a boho flair. Consider teal Montana sapphires and inky bluish-green London blue topazes if you prefer gemstones that make a unique but wearable statement.
We’ve got it all! Just choose your favorite jewelry styles, and you’ll be nailing the LWD instantly.

4. Make it Pop
Whether you want to uplift the look of your white shirt dress or make a stunning style statement with your understated dress, bold-colored gemstone jewelry will do the trick.
Vibrant gems such as rubies, garnets, black diamonds and emeralds strike a stunning visual contrast against the white and make your ‘fits stand out more. They won’t just add a pop of color to your ensemble, but will also draw more attention to your face while keeping the overall look balanced.
Have a casual date over the weekend? Wear your white dress with glamorous ruby or garnet drops and a bracelet. Running errands but still want to look ‘Gram-worthy? Sheer tights under your LWD, a black belt and our black diamond jewelry will pull your outfit together. Heading out for Sunday brunch? Buy emerald jewelry like a pendant, a pair of studs and a band and make it a stylish affair.

5. Pretty Pastels
With pastel accessories, you can infuse a soft-girl and sophisticated vibe to your white dresses and still make them look eye-catching. IMO, pastel jewels would be great for a day at the beach, a garden party or a bonfire night.
Although there are no rules and you can choose a gem you love the most, we do recommend the aquamarine stone if you prefer calming blues. And if you’re drawn to romantic shades of pink and peach, you’ll love the morganite stone. But if you prefer bright pink gemstones, pink sapphires and pink tourmalines are excellent options.
