You might have heard that on their wedding day, a bride should wear "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue." This charming custom has been passed down through generations, adding a touch of nostalgia, hope, and symbolism to a bride’s ensemble. Join us as we explore the fascinating origins of this age-old tradition and discover how Jewelry Scoop can help you find the perfect pieces to honor each element in style.

What's your something old?

Wearing something old means that you will have a connection to and honor for the past in your marriage. It means continuity and usually it means to ward off the evil eye and protect your child that came from this marriage. To fulfill your something old, couples will use an heirloom such as an old antique necklace or a pair of dainty earrings that came from a relative which adds a touch of history to your book. 

What's your something new?

Wearing something new celebrates the bright future ahead. It can be a gift from friends or relatives, or a treat for oneself. A bridal upgrade like a diamond tennis bracelet or a cz pendant symbolizes the fresh journey you’re beginning together. There is no rule against having more than one new item.

What's your something borrowed?

The tradition of "something borrowed" comes from the belief that borrowing an item from a happily married friend or family member transfers their good fortune to your own marriage. It’s a beautiful way to feel connected to loved ones on your big day. To incorporate this with your jewelry, include a pair of diamond earrings designed to be shared and treasured long after your "I dos."

What's your something blue ?
