The morning gift: a Nordic tradition and jewellery ideas
The morning gift, morgongåva in Swedish, is an old Nordic tradition: a gift given on the morning after the wedding. Today it is above all a personal gesture, and jewellery is one of the most popular choices.
Where the tradition comes from
In the past, a husband gave his wife a morning gift the day after the wedding. The gift had a financial purpose and was meant to give her security if she was left on her own. Over time the practical purpose faded and the gift became a symbol of love.
Who gives it today?
Today it is common for both partners to give each other a morning gift. There are no rules about what it should cost or be. What matters is that it is personal and something to keep for a long time.
Jewellery made to last
As the morning gift is meant to bring back the wedding day, many choose jewellery that can be worn every day. Diamond earrings, a tennis bracelet or a letter necklace with your shared initial are examples that suit both everyday life and celebrations.
Make it personal
An engraving with your wedding date or initials makes the gift unique. Think about the jewellery they already wear, and in which gold colour, so the new piece fits in.
Order in good time
Our jewellery is made to order and ships within four weeks. Order a month before the wedding or earlier, so the morning gift is ready when the day comes.
