Finding something old, new, borrowed and blue for your big day

February 3, 2022 • 3 min read

Something old, new, borrowed and blue — we’ve all heard the classic saying. Believed to bring good fortune to newlyweds, this tradition is one many like to fulfil on their big day. But when it comes to your wedding, how can you make sure you follow the tradition by ticking these four boxes? Simple – look to jewellery!

Jewellery is incredibly versatile and comes in all forms. This gives you plenty of opportunities to feature old, new, borrowed, and blue pieces. Lost on how you can incorporate the tradition into your wedding ensemble? Let Midas Jewellery help!

Below, we provide you with a guide on how you can involve all four categories in your bridal attire with jewellery.

Something old

To wear something old doesn’t necessarily mean you need to don a weathered old piece that has seen better days. Instead, opt for a vintage design that can represent something old.

At Midas Jewellery, we have an array of vintage designs that you could wear with your bridal gown. Features that carry a vintage inspiration include:

• Rose gold metal
• Milgrain detailing
• Art-Deco style
• Halo setting
• Pearls

For our top vintage picks to wear on your big day, we suggest the Diamond Eye bracelet and the South Sea Pearl and Diamond Flower Necklace.

Something new

For something new, treat yourself by purchasing a new piece! To emphasise the ‘new’, we suggest a more modern design to signify the status.

Midas Jewellery proudly showcases a wide range of dress jewellery that includes a collection of bridal jewellery. Whether you need something to decorate your ears or an additional sparkle to your wrists, our broad selection will guarantee a design to enhance your bridal attire.

We display everything from dazzling diamond designs to bold colourful pieces. No matter the style you are trying to convey on your big day, you’ll find jewellery within our collection that will suit your theme.

Visit our online store to explore our extensive range.

Something borrowed

A great way to incorporate something borrowed is by wearing jewellery from an existing or past loved one. Not only does it provide you with something borrowed, but it is also a sentimental way to keep someone near your heart during an important milestone.

This is especially sweet if someone cannot join you at the event. By borrowing a piece of their jewellery, you acknowledge them and still have a part of them present. Plus, this significant item may not just be borrowed; it may also be old, ticking off two parts of the tradition.

Some ideas include a bracelet that suits your gown, their favourite ring or maybe a brooch or cufflink that reminds you of them. A hair clip could also be a sweet yet subtle nod.

Something blue

The thought of incorporating something blue into your wedding ensemble may sound too courageous or a little random. A white dress with blue? It may sound odd at first, but this doesn’t have to be the case!

With jewellery, you can subtly add hints of blue to your outfit without too much distraction or interruption. This can be already provided through your engagement ring or by sporting a bluestone design.

A refined yet subtle suggestion is to introduce a sapphire and diamond ring on the right hand. The sapphire symbolises faithfulness and sincerity in relationships, making it a fitting choice. We also have a selection of sapphire featured earrings, necklaces and bracelets to explore. For a lighter option, the use of aquamarine stones may be more suited.
