‘Something old
something new
something borrowed
something blue.’ This is a saying that many brides take to heart when considering their wedding trousseau. From wedding gowns
accessories and motifs
brides from all walks of life throughout the years have tried their best to stick to this formula. It’s interesting to note that bridal jewelry can follow this adage
too.

‘Something old’ could most often be a piece of bridal jewelry that is a family heirloom. Sometimes the groom would give to his bride a ring or another piece of jewelry that had once been owned by his mother
grandmother
or past brides in his family. Maybe the bride would wear her own mother’s antique jewelry or some other gem that has been handed down to brides in the family from generation to generation. One thing is certain
wearing such bridal jewelry would reinforce a sense of family
tradition and continuity in a wedding ceremony.

‘Something new’ hardly needs any explanation. Thousands upon thousands of bridal jewelry stores
both the Internet e-commerce sites and bricks-and-mortar stores
offer a dazzling array of accessories to make the bride shine on her wedding day. The would-be bride can choose from among various jewelry pieces one or several items that she would wear at the ceremony and which she could treasure and keep as a memento of that most special day.

At first thought
‘something borrowed’ doesn’t seem applicable to bridal jewelry. After all
a bride would most probably want to wear her own jewels and not have to borrow and then return them. But for women who want to add to the accessories that they will be wearing on their wedding day without having to spend thousands of dollars more to buy new ones
renting jewelry offers a practical solution. Many establishments rent out antique or estate bridal jewelry
including necklaces
bracelets
and earrings
and only the rental fee plus a refundable deposit need to be paid.

Finally
for that ‘something blue’ in a bridal jewelry ensemble
there are several gemstones that fit the bill. Depending on the shade of blue that she wants
a bride can opt for a necklace
bracelet
or earrings that are accented with sapphires
aquamarines or blue pearls. Hair ornaments or tiaras with other blue-tinted stones such as agate and topaz are also beautiful accessories for the bride.

The bride is the belle of the ball on her wedding day and it is important for her to look her best on that special occasion. Bridal jewelry
chosen tastefully and worn properly
will complement her wedding dress and make her look as radiant and as beautiful as any bride should be.
