Traditionally, each wedding
anniversary is celebrated by giving a gift made from a
different material. The first anniversary is symbolized with paper, and
from there anniversary gifts become more precious or scarce to reflect
the growing number of years a couple has remained together.
It
isn't clear when the traditional list came into existence--it probably
evolved over time. Calling years twenty-five and fifty 'Silver' and
'Gold' may have originated in medieval Europe, where wives were given a
silver wreath to celebrate their twenty-fifth year of marriage and a
gold wreath for their fiftieth anniversary. The idea of an anniversary
ring and/or eternity ring may have developed from the symbol of the
wreath.
Diamond anniversary rings and eternity
rings are set with gems that encircle all or a large chunk of their
circumference to symbolize eternal love. Both types of rings are
perfect gifts for an anniversary, at Christmas or for any other special
holiday. The good news is that anniversary rings are available in many
price ranges--you don't have to spend a fortune to buy a beautiful
ring.
Diamonds are traditional
in both the sixtieth and seventh-fifth years, although over the years
the diamond anniversary band has been gleefully received on any
anniversary. Year sixty was probably added when Queen Victoria
celebrated her Diamond Jubilee after sixty years on the British throne.
Many also believe that the fire in the diamond symbolizes the constant
flame of love.
Giving an anniversary ring is a wonderful way
to symbolize the renewal of your love. As deep as the ocean,
your love will last forever. Honor it with a stunning 10th Wedding
Anniversary round cut blue sapphire colored center stone in a vintage
style 6 prong setting surrounded by 6 round cut channel set side stones.
The
perfect gift to set the mood for your 25th Wedding Anniversary
celebration and a lasting keepsake to forever rekindle those special
moments on the silver jubilee is a stunning antique style anniversary
ring with a cutout swirled pattern and a diamond adorning the center.
The
golden anniversary is one of the most celebrated wedding anniversaries.
And rightly so! Spending half a century in love with one person is a
wonderful statement about the gift of married life. Optimism and wealth
are often associated with gold. Cherish this 50th Wedding
Anniversary with a classic five stone diamond ring set in gold of
course!
The traditional list may seem somewhat
boring but it doesn't have to be when using this guide for traditional
anniversary stones. There are many ways you can turn each year's theme
