Studio Bride comes from the team behind A.B. Ellie, scaled down to a smaller, lighter hand. Where A.B. Ellie's main line leans into fuller statement pieces, Studio Bride keeps the same modern eye but works in pearl and crystal drops, studs and strands sized for everyday wear rather than one big moment. It is the kind of jewelry a bride reaches for on the wedding day and then keeps reaching for afterward.
What makes a Studio Bride earring different
Studio Bride works mostly in small bezel set crystal and freshwater pearl, built into drop, hoop and stud shapes rather than anything with real weight. A lot of the line plays with scale and tiering: a sculptural drop stacked above a pearl, a line of baguette cut stones, a double or triple pearl set one below the other. The effect reads as polished rather than ornate, which is why the earrings pair easily with a simple gown and a plain hairstyle instead of needing to be the whole look.
The pieces
Pearl Crystal Lariat Necklace
A single row of pearl and crystal runs down the back in a lariat tie rather than a fixed clasp, which makes this one of the few Studio Bride pieces designed to be seen from behind as much as the front, worth considering for a low back gown. Shop the Pearl Crystal Lariat Necklace, $159.
Crystal Pendant Gold Choker Necklace
A pave crystal pendant sits close to the throat on a choker length chain, built for a bride who wants a little sparkle at the neckline without the length of a lariat or drop necklace. Shop the Crystal Pendant Gold Choker Necklace, $168.
Dainty Crystal Tennis Bracelet
A row of small pave crystals runs the length of the wrist in a familiar tennis bracelet line, light enough to wear alongside a ring and a watch without any one piece crowding the others. Shop the Dainty Crystal Tennis Bracelet, $98.
Gilded Pearl Drop Earrings
A sculptural gold drop sits below a single pearl, giving the earring more presence than a plain stud without moving into true statement territory. It is an easy match for an updo that leaves the ear fully visible. Shop the Gilded Pearl Drop Earrings, $125.
Pave Dewdrop Hoop Earrings
A small pave crystal dewdrop hangs from a slim gold hoop, so the earring reads as a hoop at a glance and a little more detailed up close. It is one of the lighter pieces in the line, built for a bride who wears earrings every day and wants hers to keep working after the wedding. Shop the Pave Dewdrop Hoop Earrings, $118.
Sculptural Tier Pearl Drop Earrings
Two tiers of pearl drop in a slightly asymmetric line rather than a straight drop, giving the earring some movement without adding real length. It is a good middle ground between a simple stud and a longer chandelier style drop. Shop the Sculptural Tier Pearl Drop Earrings, $129.

Studio Bride jewelry, answered
Is Studio Bride the same as A.B. Ellie?
Studio Bride comes from the same team as A.B. Ellie, built as a smaller scale, lighter version of that label's jewelry rather than a separate design house.
What are Studio Bride earrings made of?
The line is built mostly from pearl and pave set crystal in gold and silver tone settings, worked into drop, hoop and stud shapes.
Can Studio Bride jewelry be worn without a wedding dress?
Yes. The pieces are sized and styled for everyday wear, which is the main reason to choose this line over something built for one occasion.
Do Studio Bride pieces come in both gold and silver?
Many of them do. Check the variant options on each product page, since not every style is offered in both finishes.
