We all know the old adage by heart: “Something old, something new…something borrowed, something
blue.” The rhyme stems from 1800s Victorian England and was thought to bring good luck to a long
and joyous marriage. Traditionally, a blue garter is worn to check off the final piece of the list. However,
allow us to introduce a much sparklier option that is sure to make your special day all the more
memorable and oh-so-gorgeous.
In a modern twist on an old classic, opting for stunning sapphires is a unique, sentimental, and practical
way to incorporate something blue into your day-of-lucky trinkets. Whether you prefer simple sapphire
studs, a diamond-encrusted sapphire bracelet, or have selected a blue sapphire and diamond wedding
band, here are a few of our favorite blue sapphire beauties to consider adding to the day-of lineup:
