Each wedding anniversary is special, whether it’s the first or the fiftieth. No matter what anniversary you’re celebrating, a custom jewelry gift shows how much you care. If your big day is coming up, then review this guide explaining which jewelry represents the year of your anniversary.

What Jewelry Correlates With Wedding Anniversaries?

1. Years One & Two

Celebrate your first anniversary with gold jewelry. It represents warm wedding memories while also providing an inexpensive gift for young couples who may not have the funds for extravagant presents. Say cheers to your second year of marriage with red garnet accessories since the hard stone represents passion, love, and fertility.

2. Years Three & Four

Commemorate the purity of your love with pearls, the traditional third wedding anniversary gift. Use blue topaz jewelry to honor your fourth anniversary, as the semi-precious stone represents loyalty, profound emotional attachment, commitment, and honesty.

3. Years Five & Six

Salute five years of married life with sapphire, the precious gem of royalty representing truth, joy, good health, fulfillment, and inner peace. Find amethyst accessories such as pendants and earrings to toast your sixth anniversary, as the purple stone promotes feelings of love and contentment.

4. Years 10, 20, & 25

Honor your first milestone anniversary with diamonds, the symbol of prosperity and love. Many couples reset their gold wedding jewelry with diamonds for their 10th anniversary. Diamonds also provide gift options for your 60th year of marriage. The 20th and 25th anniversaries are all about emeralds and silver, respectively. Emeralds represent peace, balance, and mature love, while silver accessories pay homage to the silver jubilee anniversary.

5. Years 30, 40, & 50

Pearls again provide gift ideas for your 30th anniversary and are a remembrance of the continual purity of your devotion. The 40th anniversary traditionally calls for rubies since the gems signify the “essence” of romantic love. The 50th, or golden jubilee, anniversary, is once again about gold accessories; however, many couples set their gift pieces with semi- and precious gemstones.
