something old
Relic from before
Something old refers to an item with age or history, often carried or worn for symbolic purposes.
The phrase appears most commonly in the wedding tradition "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue"—where the bride includes each element for luck.
The "something old" typically connects her to family or the past: She wore her grandmother's pearls as her something old.
