Something Borrowed: Old Wedding Jewelry

Bridal Jewelry Choices

Is your daughter, granddaughter, or a close family friend getting married and you would like to share your wedding jewelry with them?Wearing someone else’s beautiful wedding jewelry is a gift that just about every bride would love to experience.Sharing the wedding jewelry that you wore on your wedding day is a big decision and should be given a lot of time to consider.

Your wedding jewelry is likely very close to your heart but if you have a woman in your life that needs something old or something borrowed, you may want to share your jewelry.If you have decided that this is something you would love to do, you first need to decide wether you are going to give them the jewelry or if you are just going to loan it to them.

Whether you lend your wedding jewelry to the bride or give it to her, you should also think of the right way to present it to her.A great idea is to ask the bride to lunch and after you have eaten dessert you can present her with a beautiful wrapped box and tell her you have something very special you would like to share with her.You may want to include a note inside the box that just tells of how special the jewelry is to you and how many happy years of marriage they have seen.

You may be surprised at the bride’s reaction when she open the box to see your wedding jewelry.Many brides are surpised and grateful, others are disappointed and some may show no reaction at all.You may be overwhelmed at the bride’s reaction, so try not to take it personally.  At this time you should also tell her that if she doesn’t want to wear the wedding jewelry that you won’t be offended, but you wanted it to be there if she wanted it.

Sharing your jewelry is a heartfelt gesture that not every bride will ever have the benefit of experiencing.Make sure the bride isn’t confused about whether or not you are letting her have the wedding jewelry or just letting her borrow them.What a special feeling to have to see a brand new bride wear your old wedding jewelry and look beautiful in it.
