Each anniversary year has an associated gemstone or metal that you can choose to go with for its symbolic value. A five year anniversary, for example, is associated with sapphires, while a twenty-five year is typically a silver jubilee anniversary. Buy stackable rings or bracelet charms for a yearly tradition to continue each year, and on the anniversaries featuring your favorite stones or metals, go with a larger gift of a necklace, bracelet, or earrings. For jubilee years (25, 30, 50, 60, and 70) celebrate with decadent treasures of silver, pearls, gold, diamonds, or platinum. Each year brings with it new adventures and experiences, so why not commemorate each and every one?
Men's jewelry is not as common as women's, but it's just as wonderful to receive. A genuine gold band or a nice watch are happily worn for years to come. For the man in your life, choose a simple style to go with everything, or give him a one-of-a-kind occasion piece for formal events and candlelit dinners. Choosing a harder metal, such as platinum, will ensure years of wear without showing signs of damage; follow a similar principle when selecting gemstones. Diamonds and sapphires are particularly durable stones that pair well with men's jewelry. This year, surprise him with a unique and timeless anniversary gift he'll wear fondly.
After a wedding comes a marriage, and marriage is full of so much more than stolen kisses and romantic date nights. It's full of adventure and fun, family and new beginnings. This year, give an anniversary gift that's about more than just remembering you wedding. Give her a commemorative charm bracelet with charms to recall all the significant moments you've shared: a pine tree from the time you went camping on your honeymoon, a baby bottle for the birth of your firstborn, an Italian flag from your first overseas trip together. Charm bracelets are the perfect anniversary gift to keep building on, year after year. Make it a tradition and give her a new charm for every anniversary!
Stackable anniversary bands are a gorgeous addition to your engagement ring or wedding bands. Perfect for both him and her, an anniversary band can be engraved, inset with diamonds or other small gemstones, and built to match as a set or custom-built to fit each of your styles. An anniversary band can be a great low-risk option to wear when traveling; generally smaller than a wedding band and more budget-friendly, these rings show a continued love and commitment worn with or without your other rings. Whether it's your second or your twentieth wedding anniversary, gift an anniversary band to show you'll still say “I do” every day of the week.
