Anniversary Gifts by Year: A Sparkling Tradition
If you love traditions, giving gifts based on the anniversary year is a fun and sentimental way to honor your time together. We’ve taken the classic list and added a VMB twist with gemstone and jewelry ideas that make each milestone extra special.
1st Anniversary – Gold
Celebrate your first chapter with a David Yurman delicate gold pendant, stackable gold bands, or a custom gold charm bracelet. Gold symbolizes the precious beginning of your marriage and its enduring strength.
5th Anniversary – Sapphire
Whether you choose deep blue or vibrant pink, sapphires represent wisdom and loyalty. A sapphire ring, pendant, or bracelet makes a stunning and timeless tribute.
10th Anniversary – Diamond
Ten years is a big one! This is the perfect time to surprise your partner with a new diamond band, diamond stud earrings, or even a ring upgrade. More on that below.
15th Anniversary – Ruby
Bold and fiery, rubies symbolize passion and love. A ruby cocktail ring or pendant makes for an unforgettable gift.
20th Anniversary – Emerald
Emeralds represent growth and harmony, and after 20 years, you’ve certainly grown beautifully together. Consider a custom emerald ring or necklace that reflects your journey.
25th Anniversary – Silver Jubilee
Sterling silver jewelry with personal engraving, family birthstones, or a vintage-inspired design honors this milestone with style and grace.
30th Anniversary – Pearl
Classic and elegant, pearls are a lovely way to celebrate three decades together. Pearl drop earrings or a custom-designed pearl and diamond combo piece make a refined gift.
50th Anniversary – Golden Jubilee
Fifty years calls for gold in all its glory. Whether it’s a bold new band or a full custom design inspired by your original rings, this is a golden moment worth celebrating.
Upgrade Your Rings: You’ve Earned It 😉
Anniversary ring upgrades are a meaningful and popular way to honor the love that’s grown over time. If you’ve been thinking about it, here are a few ideas:
Add More Diamonds
Sometimes more is more! Add diamonds to the band, halo the original stone, or go for a diamond eternity band to symbolize your unending love.
Reset Your Original Stones
Love your diamond but want a new look? We can reset it into a modern design that still holds all the sentimental value of your original ring.
Trade Up
If you’ve always dreamed of a bigger diamond or a different shape, we can help you trade in your current stone and design a new piece that still honors the original commitment.
Stack It Up
Stackable bands are a great way to celebrate each milestone. We can create a band to match your existing ring or go bold with a completely new style.
Custom Jewelry: Your Story, Your Design
Nothing says "I love you" like a custom-designed piece made just for the one you love. Our team of experts at VMB Jewelers loves working with couples to turn stories, memories, and dreams into wearable art. Here’s how you can create something that’s truly yours:
Incorporate Birthstones
Add family birthstones to a necklace or ring to represent the life you’ve built together.
Engrave a Special Message
Include a sweet phrase, a meaningful date, or even a handwriting engraving to make your piece extra personal.
Use Heirloom Diamonds or Gemstones
Have a stone from a parent or grandparent? Let us design something new that brings that legacy into your love story.
