Something Blue: A Touch of Tradition
You know the saying - "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue". Why not check off two of those with a sapphire or aquamarine piece?

Or for jewels that are little more purse friendly, why not a stunning Vintage Paste Riviere Necklace, its the perfect "something blue" to wear on your wedding day. It features an exquisite array of vibrant blue and clear paste stones, all set in milgrain bezel settings that highlight their brilliance.
Timeless Elegance: Antique Earrings for Your Wedding Day

Classic diamond studs offer just the right amount of sparkle, effortlessly complementing any bridal look without stealing the spotlight. Opt for Old Cut diamonds or an Art Deco design for a touch of timeless charm.
If you prefer something a little more statement-making, antique drop earrings bring an air of romance and elegance. With intricate details and shimmering stones, they capture the beauty of a bygone era while adding a unique, heirloom-quality touch to your ensemble.
