For some brides, tradition is an important part of a wedding. While it’s totally applicable to pick and choose what you do and don’t want (it’s your special day, after all!), quite a few to-be-weds choose to honor old-world customs by wearing something old, new, borrowed, and blue when walking down the aisle. If you’re thinking about utilizing a piece of jewelry as your “something blue” for your wedding day, you’re in luck!
From opals to sapphires, turquoise to topaz, there’s a wide variety of gems to choose from for a pop of blue. Depending on your budget, your other accessories, and your own personal style, you might opt for a brighter or more minute hue. While it’s important to consider your venue, the formality, and dress style when selecting accessories, the most crucial element is that the jewelry feels representative of you at that moment—so have fun with it!
Whether you’re saying “I do” on the beach, a casual rooftop, or a swanky ballroom, read on to shop our favorite “something blue” jewelry.
Crafted by hand in DAVIDOR's Paris Atelier, these stunningly elegant earrings are a sweet and subtle touch to any bridal look. You can also buy this style with a classic diamond, or with a pink or green tourmaline stone.

If someone’s gifting you your “something blue,” these halo sapphire and diamond studs are a luxuriously special pair you’ll cherish for a lifetime. The classic design and deep blue hue make them a sentimental and stunning way to celebrate your wedding the day of and all the years following after you sell your engagement ring to go on your dream honeymoon.
The fun part about modern weddings is you can pick and choose which traditions to keep and which to ditch. If you don’t want to wear something blue, you don’t have to!
If blue is one of your wedding colors, don’t be afraid to add more than one pop to your ensemble. Just make sure to stick with a cohesive shade of blue and only opt for one major statement piece to avoid an over-busy look.
“Something blue” jewelry ranges greatly in price depending on whether or not you buy pieces with natural gemstones. Make sure to have a budget in mind when shopping so you can select your jewelry with confidence.
Unless your wedding colors include a shade of blue, chances are you’ll want to keep your “something blue” jewelry subtle so it doesn’t clash with your wedding palette. If you’re not looking for a bold pop, opt for small blue studs or a more muted hue to ensure it compliments your overall look.
