The Meaning Behind Something Blue

The "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" rhyme dates back to Victorian England. Blue has long symbolised fidelity, love, and purity — making it the perfect sentiment to carry into a marriage. Wearing blue jewellery is one of the most elegant ways to honour this tradition while adding a touch of colour and sparkle to your bridal look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "something blue" wedding tradition? The tradition comes from an old Victorian rhyme: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Each item is said to bring good luck to the bride. Blue specifically represents fidelity, love, and purity — values at the heart of a happy marriage.

What jewellery counts as something blue? Any blue jewellery can fulfil the tradition — from sapphire earrings and bracelets to aqua crystal necklaces. It doesn't need to be obviously blue; even a subtle blue topaz stud or a hint of sapphire in a pendant set counts beautifully.

Does something blue have to be hidden? Not at all! While some brides tuck a blue ribbon into their bouquet or wear a blue garter, wearing your something blue as jewellery means you get to show it off. It becomes part of your bridal look rather than a secret.

Can bridesmaids wear something blue too? Absolutely. Gifting your bridesmaids matching blue jewellery is a lovely way to tie the bridal party together and give them a meaningful keepsake from your wedding day.

What's the best something blue jewellery for a classic bride? Our Sapphire and Pearl Earrings & Pendant Set and Light Blue Sapphire Bridal Jewellery Set are perennial favourites for brides who love a timeless, elegant aesthetic.
