Wearing Family Jewelry

 

Wedding jewelry is something that a lot of brides have to spend a lot of time, energy, and money on. Being fortunate enough to be given jewelry that has been in the family or to even borrow it means you are very lucky and you should be very excited.  You will be fulfilling the need for something borrowed and you will also have a lot of work done for you.  You won’t need to worry about the price of jewelry, what will go well with your dress, and whether or not it has that something special that every bride looks for.Instead, you can just put on the beautiful jewelry and relax as you plan for your walk down thee aisle.

Wedding jewelry that your family lends you or gives to you is likely not only beautiful, but also very meaningful.  It isn’t uncommon in many families for the women to hand down their jewelry from one generation to the next.  You may not only be able to wear unique or even one of a kind pieces, they will be pieces with meaning.  Anyone can walk into a store and buy beautiful jewelry, but when you are wearing antique pieces or pieces those generations of your family have worn the pieces instantly become more beautiful and more meaningful.  As you walk down the aisle you are walking with the women of the past, and that is powerful.

If you have been given wedding jewelry and you aren’t all that excited about it, you don’t have to feel bad.You can select the jewelry for the wedding that appeals to you and be discrete in letting the other women in the family know that the jewelry that you have chosen is all you want to wear.  There is a polite way to turn down the offers to wear family jewelry, so just make sure when you turn down the offers that you keep in mind just how precious the pieces may be to your family members.
