Tip of the Day: For a twist on the traditional saying, "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue," tie it into your jewelry. Danielle Miele, founder of Gem Gossip did just that. "My something old was my grandparents' wedding bands they exchanged on their wedding day in Italy in 1956, my something new was my opal ring--a wedding day gift from my husband, my something borrowed were my coral, diamond and emerald bead tassel earrings from jewelry designer Andreoli, and my something blue was the blue topaz heart ring I designed to be worn on my pinky," she says.
