Who Says You Can’t Wear Black to a Wedding?


“When I find a colour darker than black, I’ll wear it. But until then, I’m wearing black,” legendary designer Coco Chanel once said. At Max’s, we are surrounded daily by the vibrant colors of the gemstones in our artists’ collections – rich tones that energize and inspire us. But sometimes we crave the ease, elegance and timelessness of black.

In the art world, white is considered the absence of all color while black is the presence of all color. The color black implies independence, power, mystery, seduction, confidence, sophistication and intrigue. It’s those attributes that draw us to the color black and lead us to believe that, yes, you can wear black to a wedding. And it’s why some of our most talented jewelry artists dare to create wedding pieces in black – from working with black diamonds to oxidized metals, they design work that is at once unusual yet classic. It’s what makes black the perfect color for a wedding and for every day.

Many of our designers understand the allure and importance of black, using it extensively in their collections. The collections from Todd Reed and Yasuko Azuma feature rings and other jewelry created of oxidized sterling silver coupled with gold or precious gemstones in designs spanning from bold to delicate. And the wedding and engagement rings with black diamonds, such as the one featured here by Pamela Froman,  that have a timeless appeal and will evoke sophistication and elegance for a lifetime.

Our offerings of black wedding jewelry extend beyond rings for the betrothed. We also carry an array of earrings, bracelets, necklaces and cuff links (we love these from Deakin & Francis) that will beautifully adorn the couple and their attendants and will delight others who receive them as gifts to thank them for being part of a most special day.

So in response to that old adage about not being able to wear black to a wedding — we say “bring it on!!!!”
