As it's the wedding season and brides are often looking for a piece of blue jewellery to wear on the day we thought we'd share an article highlighting some beautiful blue jewellery that is perfect for a wedding.
According to a 19th-century Lancashire poem, there are a number of items a bride should carry on her wedding day:
"something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue and a sixpence in your shoe".
Something old was believed to represent being tied to the past traditions.
Something new indicated optimism and hope for the future.
Something borrowed was meant to be from a happily married friend or relative and brought good luck and was a good omen to bring to the union.
Something blue was believed to ward off the evil eye as well as stand for purity, fidelity and love.
The sixpence signifies wealth and abundance. Traditionally the father of the bride would slip a sixpence into the heel of his daughter's shoe just before the ceremony. Whilst a sixpence is now "old currency" - equivalent to 2 1/2 p in today's money - it can be swapped for its rough equivalent or can still be found. Other countries also have this tradition.
This stunning silver pendant features blue lace agate (each piece being unique) surrounded by rose gold that contains rare Welsh gold. We also have some matching drop earrings.
Welsh gold has long had a tradition of being used in royal wedding rings so there is a strong connection with marriages.
Stunning white gold with multi-gemstone earrings in varying shades of blue are just perfect for a wedding day. From London Blue Topaz, Sky Blue Topaz to Swiss Blue Topaz - eighteen different topaz in all.
