Celebrate Your Love with Wedding Anniversary Stones

Wedding anniversaries present the perfect opportunity to gift your other half with a sparkling symbol of your love and commitment. But the gift should be more than just sparkly; it can be sentimental, too! Certain gemstones and precious metals have been designated to celebrate specific years of marriage. There are no set guidelines for wedding anniversary gift giving, but these wedding anniversary stones are great ideas. Of course, their beauty is undeniable, but it’s the symbolism behind each wedding anniversary gemstone that makes them extra special. While we won’t go into detail about every year’s anniversary gemstone/metal, we will pinpoint some of the major ones. And we’ve included a simple list in this article to give you some wedding anniversary gift ideas for every year you’re happily married.

1^st Anniversary Gift Ideas for Anniversary Stones

     

The first wedding anniversary is always exciting. You’re probably still in the honeymoon phase and want to shower each other with affection. What better way to do so than with gorgeous jewelry? Traditionally, first wedding anniversary gifts are gold. There is no specified gemstone so this allows for some creativity. For him, gold cufflinks would be perfect. For her, a beautiful gold necklace or bracelet is sure to make her smile. You’re in the beginning stages of your marriage so it’s totally understandable to keep the gift fairly simple. One of our favorite ideas is to start a new tradition by purchasing a gold charm bracelet. Then, with each new year you can add the signature gemstone for subsequent anniversaries. This idea is romantic and sentimental because each new charm can relate to anniversaries and other significant events in your lives together.

What to Get for Your 10^th Anniversary

  

Ten years of marriage is no small feat. So, what do you think is the 10^th anniversary gemstone? Diamond, of course! Diamonds have been a symbol of love for as long as anyone can remember. So naturally, they make extraordinary anniversary gifts. But the symbolism of a diamond for your 10^th anniversary goes so much deeper. Just like true love, diamonds are rare. They’re formed under extreme pressure, which can certainly be part of the inevitable triumphs and tribulations of any marriage. And just like your unbreakable bond, diamonds are the hardest and most durable minerals on Earth.

There are countless options for diamond anniversary gifts. This is the perfect opportunity to gift your loved one with a diamond anniversary band, or maybe even upgrade their engagement ring! Diamonds make the perfect center stone for any type of jewelry, so don’t be afraid to get creative. You can even go the extra mile and have a custom design created specifically for your special love.

25^th Anniversary Gift Ideas

   

The 25^th anniversary is known as the “silver jubilee.” You’ve accomplished so many different things throughout your lives together- planted roots in your own home, raised a family, success at work, maybe even had some grandchildren- it’s definitely time to celebrate. Again, since the traditional anniversary gift is related to a metal and not a specific gemstone, you have some wiggle room. Gift your loved one with their favorite gemstone set in sterling silver. White gold and platinum are acceptable as well since they display the same silver sheen. Or you can pay tribute to your anniversary by selecting the birthstone of the month you were married. Don’t feel like you have to limit yourself to just jewelry. Silver allows you to think outside of the box and create engraved keepsakes that are sure to become family heirlooms.

Gift Ideas for Your 50^th Anniversary

Fifty years is a major milestone for marriage. You’ve spent 50 golden years together so it only makes sense for the 50^th anniversary to be your “golden jubilee.” Since you’ve been together for much longer than one year now, you can certainly splurge a little bit more! Remember that cute charm bracelet you bought for your first anniversary? Maybe it’s time to upgrade it to a gorgeous necklace in higher carat gold! Or if there is a gold watch your spouse has always had their eye on, now would be the perfect time to surprise them with it. You’ve essentially spent a lifetime together. Such a grand achievement deserves a wedding anniversary gift that equals it.
