The sighting: First Granddaughter Naomi Biden married Peter Neal on the South Lawn of The White House on Saturday, November 19th. The bride, groom, and wedding party chose Tiffany & Co. jewels.
The jewels: According to Town & Country and CNN, the entire wedding party – including grandmother of the bride, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, wore Tiffany & Co. jewels for the occasion. The wedding was a very private affair, so we only know specifics for the happy couple.
Bride Naomi Biden wore the classically elegant Tiffany & Co. Victoria Earrings, a pair of pearl and diamond drop earrings with creamy South Sea cultured pearls in platinum. The style is currently listed for $9,300 on the brand’s website.
Groom Peter Neil didn’t want to be left out of the sparkly fun: he adorned his lapel with a floral diamond Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger brooch in platinum and yellow gold. It’s an exceptionally beautiful piece, eye-catching and much more detailed than a typical men’s lapel pin.
Both bride and groom chose platinum Tiffany & Co. wedding bands, which surely paired beautifully with Naomi’s emerald-cut diamond engagement ring from Washington DC’s Shah & Shah Distinctive Jewelers.
The trends: Everything here is restrained and very classically bridal, but it’s all so incredibly pretty that I don’t even find it boring. It wouldn’t surprise me if we’re in for a resurgence of classics when it comes to wedding day accessories.
On a personal note, I usually prefer it when brides go further outside the box for their bridal accoutrements…but I just can’t be mad at any of this beauty. Very Grace Kelly/Kate Middleton.
What do we think? The primary jewelry themes for this wedding were classic elegance, platinum, Tiffany & Co., and iconic bridal. Nothing was outside the box, but everything was so wildly gorgeous and perfectly elegant that I didn’t even mind. Naomi’s pearl earrings are lovely, but it’s her beau’s brooch that makes me swoon.
I think the Bidens hit the perfect tone for this event. The jewelry was perfectly curated, impeccably matched, and of the highest quality without feeling inappropriately opulent for a First Family holding the nuptials at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
As classic American jewelers go, Tiffany & Co. is about as iconic as it gets and the brand certainly did the Bidens proud on this day.
Judgement: 16/10 for a gorgeously executed White House wedding.
