What ARE your "something old"s?

Ok, I was originally going to ask "what is your something old" until it dawned on me that, with you ladies loving retro and vintage things, you probably have numerous "something old"s. 

So tell us/show us what your something olds are!  Is it sentimental?

    I have a 19th c. cameo pin that converts into a necklace. I will probably wear that or pin it to my bouquet. It's a family piece so I'm happy to incorporate it. Pink & ivory, just like my colors.

    No old hand-me-downs, here, so had to buy all my something olds! I got this vintage (faux) pearl barrette from Etsy to wear in my hair:

    And a milkglass pin for my garter:

    I have something borrowed - my mom's pearl earrings. Nothing old though. My brooch is a Jackie Kennedy reproduction but it is not actually old.

    My art-nouveau/deco e-ring (which was my mummu's) it's about 80 years old (Very very sentimental):


    My FI's mum's/nan's veil (also sentimental, but obviously more for FI than me):


    My FI's granddad's garter (sorry no picture, and I have no idea what it looks like, but this is also my something blue)

    And I just bought the first bit of my DIY headpiece!  Some millinery flowers from the 1930s (not sentimental in the least):

    I'm wearing my grandmother's earrings from her wedding in 1958, that is actually how I started the vintage theme, I wanted to incorporate it around the earrings!
