How to solve the gift-jewelry dilemma

What do you do when someone you love gives you a gift expecting you to wear it on your wedding day, but you don’t like the gift, and you don’t want to hurt feelings?
You want to feel good about everything you wear on your wedding day, so you might gently explain to your loved one you really were looking forward to picking your own wedding jewelry.
Tell her the earrings, necklace, whatever just don’t work with your dress or hairstyle.
Consider wearing the gift jewelry to a shower or rehearsal dinner, and let your loved one know you’re looking forward to showing them off at one of those events.
