Anniversary Gifts

Celebrate another year of marriage by giving your partner a special gift as a symbol of your love and devotion. Each year marks another milestone and what better way to commemorate this occasion than with a unique piece of gemstone jewellery.

The tradition of giving a gift made of a different material each year dates back to the Middle Ages. During this period more common goods such as paper, cotton and glass were given to honour a wedding anniversary. Over time these items were replaced with beautiful gemstones like sapphire, jade and garnet.

These gemstones have become synonymous with each anniversary year.
