Weddings are thrilling, aren’t they? They’re full of so much joy and that’s reflected in the gorgeous jewelry that marks the occasion. But, the timeless memories and bling only begin with the wedding. Beyond the nuptials, there’s a whole lifetime of enduring moments and treasures. These are celebrated through our anniversaries.
Now, many of you are familiar with traditional anniversary gifts. Things like paper, cotton, linen and silk can be lovely, but nothing is quite like the gift of jewelry. That’s why there’s also a gemstone or metal associated with each anniversary, adding extra luster and shine on our special days. To give you inspiration, I’ve hand-picked one of my favorite items for each special milestone.
One Year: A Golden Time
The first year of marriage is precious because you learn so much about each other and grow even closer. Gold represents the first-year anniversary and the eternal nature of your adoration. This classic Shy Creation bangle echoes that message powerfully. The lustrous 14-Karat yellow gold is edged by shimmering diamonds, symbolizing the excitement which lies ahead. It also forms a loop of gold, a never-ending circle as everlasting as your love.
Five Years: True and Blue
The blue sapphire symbolizes faithfulness and loyalty and is the perfect gemstone to celebrate five years of wedded bliss. For the fifth anniversary, I’ve chosen these dazzling Fana Sapphire and Diamond Leaf Earrings. These dramatic earrings come in 14-Karat white, yellow or rose gold. They feature stunning diamonds in addition to the radiant deep blue sapphires. Through these earrings, you’ll be reminded of each other’s constant devotion.
Ten Years: A Taste of Chocolate
The ten-year milestone is certainly significant. It’s no wonder that diamonds represent it. Historically, the diamond is the gemstone of love and romance. The word for “diamond” comes from the ancient Greek “adamas”, referring to a substance which is so hard that it’s unbreakable, just like your relationship. Among diamonds there is one which is even more delectable than all the rest … chocolate diamonds. Le Vian specializes in these exquisite stones and this sensational pendant showcases them wonderfully. Featuring 1 1/2 carats Chocolate Diamonds with 1/2 carats Nude Diamonds all set in ravishing 14-Karat Honey Gold, this pendant beautifully captures the essence of glamorous and enduring love.
15 Years: Fiery Passion
Throughout history, the ruby has symbolized passion and energy, both which keep a relationship flourishing over time. For the 15th anniversary, the fiery ruby reigns and this spectacular Fana Circle of Life Pendant fairly glows with wedded ardor. With pavé diamonds and milgrain detailing, this pendant comes in 14-Karat white gold, yellow gold or rose gold. It’s the perfect choice to remind you of all the astonishing fervor you still experience in your relationship.
20 Years: Enduring and Evolving
Representing 20 years of marriage, the luminous emerald showcases an evergreen relationship, one which is always growing and maturing. If you want a resplendent memento of your years together, this Le Vian Three-Stone Ring is an impeccable choice. Though it features sparkling Vanilla Diamonds, the focus is all on those glimmering Costa Smeralda Emeralds. A three-stone ring traditionally denotes the promising past, present and the future of the couple, commemorating every stage of your ever-developing relationship.
25 Years: Ageless Amor
The 25th is known as the Silver Jubilee Anniversary and it’s fittingly honored through precious silver. This metal symbolizes the hope and unconditional love which nurtures a relationship through the years. You can celebrate a lifetime of commitment with this elegant John Hardy Chain Necklace. The links fold gracefully into each other, creating a gleaming laurel-leaf like pattern. It’s a tremendously classy look and shines brightly with the adoration of your decades together.
