Blue Jewellery that's Perfect for Your Wedding
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.
The "Something Blue ..." Wedding Tradition
According to a 19th-century Lancashire poem, there are several 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 meant to tie to 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 for the union.
'Something blue' was believed to ward off the evil eye, and 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 ½ p in today's money - it can be swapped for its rough equivalent or a sixpence can still be found. Other countries also have this tradition.

Of course, you don't have to wear blue jewellery to incorporate the "something blue" into your wedding.
