Dear Reader… are you ready for this next Bridgerton season?

With two seasons of Bridgerton stories shared, and Queen Charlotte's on the way, one must be prepared for the next most joyful of social seasons.
Bridgerton has been widely praised for its stunning visual aesthetics, which includes the intricate costumes and jewelry. The show's costume designers studied historical jewelry and fashion, paying close attention to the details and techniques used in Regency Era jewelry-making. As a result, the show's jewelry has been hailed as a masterclass in period costume design, earning praise for its modern-twists and beauty, with the show being nominated for “Outstanding Period Costumes” for both released seasons.
This social season, join this Lady Whistledown in unravelling some of the Regency Era’s greatest trends and beauties and get ready to pamper yourself with some treasures.

Mrs. Daphne Bridgerton favours Intricate Designs and Everyday Wea
During the Regency era, necklaces were considered an essential accessory for formal occasions and were often used to display social status and wealth. They were also viewed as a way to add a touch of glamour and elegance to an outfit and were often made using precious metals such as gold and silver and adorned with precious stones such as diamonds, pearls, and emeralds.
One of the most iconic sets of the Regency Era was the parure, which was a set of matching jewelry pieces, including a necklace, earrings, bracelets, and a tiara. These sets were often commissioned by wealthy individuals and were crafted by the finest jewellers of the time, which can often be spotted in the season one lead, Daphne Bridgerton. Her jewelry is a reflection of the Regency Era style, with an emphasis on elegance, femininity, and intricate designs.
In this time period, elaborate necklaces were not limited to formal occasions. They were also worn as everyday jewelry, although the designs were usually simpler and less opulent. Necklaces were often used as a way to add colour and texture to an outfit, with designs featuring ribbons, cameos, and other decorative elements.
If you are looking to channel your inner Daphne Bridgerton and are looking to display your personal style in a similar manner, one might ask if you are looking for a piece of your next grand ball or a simple stroll in a nearby park. Might this author suggest the Earth Gemstone Necklace, Olabisi Necklace Earring set, and the Gold Sun Necklace.
Miss Penelope Featherington enjoys Golden, Pearl Sets
During the Regency Era, golden pearl jewelry sets were highly popular and considered to be a symbol of wealth and status. These sets were typically made from gold and adorned with freshwater pearls, which were highly valued during this time period. Golden pearl jewelry sets often consisted of a necklace, earrings, and bracelet, and were designed to be worn together as a cohesive set. The earrings were often drop-style, featuring a single pearl or multiple pearls set in gold.
These jewelry sets were often worn by upper-class women at formal occasions, such as balls, parties, and weddings, often donned by Miss Penelope Featherington. Penelope Featherington, one of the main characters in the Netflix series, is known for her quirky and unconventional style, and her jewelry choices may often reflect this as she often wears pieces that are unique and eye-catching. She often wears pieces that are understated yet elegant and also incorporates longer necklaces with a variety of pendants and charms.
If this style is one you adore, this author might suggest the Perla Earrings and Parla Necklace.
Mrs Kate Sharma enjoys Pearl Sets, a Mix of Elegance and Shine
One character who prominently displays this trend is Kate Sharma, played by Simone Ashley. Kate is known for her impeccable sense of style, and she often wears pearl jewelry to compliment her outfits. In one scene, she is seen wearing a beautiful pearl necklace and matching earrings, which add a touch of elegance to her already stunning look.
The use of pearls and matching sets in jewelry was a popular trend during the Regency era and is still considered fashionable today. With this, Bridgerton pays homage to this trend in its costume design, and the character of Kate Sharma is a prime example of how these classic pieces can be incorporated into modern fashion.
If you too enjoy the classic look of pearls and a bit of shine, this author might suggest dawning the Kiara Earrings and Evie Charm Necklace.
