Regardless of whether you’ve been married for one year or fifty, jewelry remains a steadfast gift choice for your wife. Observing her jewelry preferences can help you select the perfect piece for your next anniversary. 

Anniversary jewelry encompasses a wide variety of items, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Let our guide inspire you in choosing a special piece for your wife on your next anniversary. 

Milestone Gifts

 

A straightforward method for choosing a gift is to follow the traditional anniversary jewelry by year. Milestone anniversaries, typically every five years, align with specific gemstones. 

Gold is the traditional metal for the first anniversary, symbolizing the value of the first year together. Options include yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold, tailored to her preferences. 

Consider a gold band to complement her engagement or wedding band, or opt for a necklace, bracelet, or earrings.

The fifth anniversary is traditionally celebrated with sapphires, representing marital truth and loyalty. Sapphires are available in various colors such as yellow, pink, peach, green, and purple, catering to diverse tastes. 

A necklace, earrings, or even a colored sapphire right-hand ring make excellent choices. 

Reaching your tenth anniversary is a significant milestone! Diamonds, symbolizing strength and longevity, are the traditional gift for a decade together. 

A diamond eternity band is a classic choice, but diamond earrings, bracelets, or necklaces are also excellent alternatives. 

For the 15th anniversary, rubies are historically significant, symbolizing love and passion. They are also believed to have health benefits.

Rubies pair beautifully with metals like yellow gold, white gold, platinum, or silver. Choose earrings or a ruby pendant to complement her existing collection.  

Celebrating your 20th anniversary calls for emeralds, a vibrant green gemstone available in shades ranging from light to deep green. 

A stacking band, bracelet, or emerald stud earrings are likely to be adored by your wife. 

Your 25th anniversary, known as the silver anniversary, offers numerous gift possibilities from sterling silver to white gold to platinum. 

Consider a silver eternity band, a stackable band, or even an anklet to mark this special occasion.

Pearls are the traditional gift for the 30th anniversary. They symbolize the time and care required to develop something precious. 

A pearl pendant or strand of pearls is a timeless choice. If your wife prefers not to wear necklaces, pearl earrings offer an elegant alternative. 

Your 35th anniversary provides options like jade, coral, or emerald, though emeralds are often preferred. 

Opt for a jade or coral pendant or bracelet, or stick with an emerald piece to match the jewelry from your 20th anniversary.  

Rubies make a return for your 40th anniversary, symbolizing the love and passion that endure in a four-decade-long marriage. 

Upgrade her 15th anniversary ruby piece or opt for a new design to complement her previous gift. 

The durable sapphire

We are commemorating the 45th anniversary once again. If you want to present her with something distinctive, remember there’s no need to confine your choice to a blue sapphire.

Consider what her favorite colors are and how they might enhance the jewelry she already owns.

Your 50th anniversary, the golden jubilee, is aptly honored with gold jewelry. Traditional gifts for this milestone often involve gold adorned with diamonds or other gemstones, whether in a ring, earrings, or bracelet.

Upgraded Engagement Ring

If traditional milestone jewelry doesn’t suit your taste or if you find yourself unsure during a non-milestone year (despite every year of marriage being a milestone in its own right), consider upgrading her engagement ring, adding another band, or altering the engagement ring setting.

Perhaps your financial situation has improved since your engagement, allowing for a larger stone, or maybe she desires a different setting. Either way, you can enhance the original engagement ring while maintaining its essence.

Another unique option is adding a second (or even third or fourth!) wedding band to complement her engagement ring and existing bands.
