Something old, something new, something borrowed…Something Blue!

Has been a long standing tradition, dating back the Victorian Era. The most popular version of this traditional English rhyme lists four tokens of good luck, something old represents continuity, something new represents optimism for the joint future, something borrowed from a happily married friend or family member to ensure happiness. Something blue, this last token has a deep meaning. While the rhyme may only date back to the late early 1800s the symbolic meaning of the color blue has roots as far back as the ancient Romans who believed blue signified fidelity, modesty and most importantly love.

Natalie K recognizes the importance of keeping tradition and becoming an integral part of your special day. With that in mind we created our stunning Something Blue Collection. Brilliant white diamonds, set in gleaming 14k and 18k white gold, frame radiant blue topaz center stones which offer an unmistakable azure sparkle.

NK14810BT-W would be a beautiful addition to your wedding day look. This gorgeous vintage inspired design offers over 35.00cts. of blue topaz. Crafted into a stunning drop cut, the topaz gem stones dangle from a tulip shaped crown sparkling with diamonds. To add more drama two dazzling rings, covered in eighty diamonds at nearly 0.50ct. connect the topaz drop cuts to another uniquely shaped topaz stud. This is perfect for a bride who appreciates classic style with elegantly detailed features.

However there are pieces, such as NK16390BTPZ-W that have a more contemporary flair. Ideal for the woman with modern and sleek style who still holds traditions near and dear to their heart. The detail that makes this beautiful necklace truly stand out is the distinctive triangle cut of the blue topaz center. Dangling at the end of a stunning diamond studded chain the center stone is surrounded by a brilliant round cut white diamond halo at 0.75ct.

And if you’ve decided to incorporate blue throughout your wedding and would like to have more than just a little something blue, a full matching set may be more appropriate.
