It is considered tradition for a bride to give jewelry to her bridesmaids as a token of her appreciation for their participation in a wedding. The bridesmaid jewelry is usually given with the intent for it to be worn during the wedding ceremony. In recent years, the jewelry gift has been somewhat replaced with gifts like gift cards and electronics, although many brides still honor this age-old tradition.
Most bridesmaids spend a good deal of money on being in a wedding. Many pay for a portion or all of the wedding shower as well as gifts for the happy couple. In addition, most bridesmaids pay for their dresses, shoes, bags, hairstyles, and makeup among other things. The jewelry that the bride provides for them is considered a courtesy to lessen at least some of the cost associated with the responsibility and privilege of being a bridesmaid.
