Shopping for Anniversary Rings for Your Wonderful Day
Your wedding anniversary is a special occasion every year, but certain years are meaningful milestone anniversaries as well. In the past, every anniversary year up to 100 had a specific gift, theme, flower, gemstone, and other symbolism attached to it, but these days we tend to concentrate on getting a nice gift each year and perhaps doing something extra special for the major ones.
The ten-year anniversary is known as the “diamond” anniversary”, which makes diamond jewelry an even better gift idea than usual. In the past, the ten-year anniversary has been associated with aluminum, but these days this anniversary is known as the “diamond anniversary.” Celebrating with a piece of diamond jewelry would be particularly significant and romantic for this anniversary.
The 5 year anniversary, the first milestone anniversary after your first, is another occasion for which a diamond ring would be particularly well received due to the growing popularity of five-stone diamond rings given to signify each year of marriage.
The five-year flower is the daisy, the color is pink, and the traditional gemstone that corresponds to the fifth anniversary is the sapphire, so a five stone ring or eternity ring incorporating blue, pink, or yellow sapphires into the design is also an especially thoughtful five year anniversary gift. Traditionally, the daffodil and the color blue are also associated with the 10-year anniversary, so a five stone ring with a yellow diamond or a diamond and blue sapphire eternity ring is a lovely and symbolic gift for this occasion.
The way a gift is presented, especially on an important day like one’s fifth or tenth anniversary, can be just as important as the gift itself. Again, we can look to the history of anniversary symbolism for ideas; port wine is associated with both years, so perhaps a picnic with gourmet cheese and wine or enjoying some port during a romantic dinner at an upscale restaurant would be a good setting for presenting your 10 year or 5 year anniversary gift.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, picking a piece of jewelry out of love and affection will aid in your special day. Traditions or being modern can be helpful guidelines, but the time that you take to celebrate with each other is all that matters on your anniversary.
