Olivia Harris, Senior Marketing Specialist at Diamonds Direct in Birmingham, shares four sapphire styles to match your bridal trousseau.
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 a storied 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 sapphire and diamond wedding band, here are a few of our favorite blue beauties to consider adding to your day-of lineup:
