Something Borrowed FAQs

What is Garrard’s “Something Borrowed” jewellery hire service?

The Something Borrowed service is a jewellery hire programme that allows you to rent pieces from Garrard's iconic collections for special occasions, most notably weddings. The service takes its name from the beloved and long-standing wedding tradition of a bride wearing "something borrowed" on her wedding day, which is said to bring good luck and symbolise the love and support of friends and family. By offering access to Garrard's exquisite fine jewellery on a hire basis, the service makes it possible for brides and other customers to wear truly exceptional creations, made by the world’s oldest serving jewellery house.

The service reflects a broader and growing trend in the luxury sector towards access over ownership, recognising that many customers wish to experience the finest things in life for significant moments without necessarily making a permanent investment. For a bride, in particular, the opportunity to wear a piece of Garrard jewellery —a real diamond tiara, an elegant necklace, or a pair of exquisite earrings — adds an extraordinary level of glamour and prestige to the occasion. It also allows for a level of variety and ambition that outright purchasing might not always permit, as customers can choose a truly statement piece knowing it is for a day to remember.

Which occasions are best suited to hiring fine jewellery?

Weddings are undoubtedly the most popular and natural occasion for jewellery hire, and not just for the bride. Bridesmaids, mothers of the bride or groom, and other key members of the wedding party may all wish to wear something truly special. Black tie galas, charity balls, formal award ceremonies, film premieres, theatre openings, anniversary dinners, milestone birthday celebrations, balls, and debutante balls.

Can clients borrow royal-inspired designs from Garrard’s collection?

Yes, absolutely. They include the Windsor motif, inspired by the base of the historic Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara made for Queen Mary and worn by Queen Elizabeth II, and Queen Camilla.

Can pieces from the hire collection later be purchased?

Yes. All pieces from the Something Borrowed hire collection can be purchased after hire. Please contact the Garrard Client Care team to find out more. £75 is redeemable for purchases against the rental fee.

How much is it to hire Garrard’s jewellery?

Prices are costed on a 4-day rental term, starting from £250 for diamond earrings and reaching £2,500 for real diamond tiaras. Please view the listing for each piece for exact prices or contact the Garrard Client Care team who will be more than happy to assist you. Please note, a deposit is required for 15% of an individual piece’s retail value (RRP).

How long can jewellery be borrowed for?
