Finding the perfect anniversary gift can be quite the challenge, particularly if the anniversary celebration you’re planning centers on one of the more notable milestone years. If you’re at a loss in determining which gift or activity might be best, it can be helpful to look the the past and find ways to modernize the traditional anniversary gifts and themes to make them your own.
In the past, the ten-year anniversary has been associated with aluminum, but these days this anniversary is known as the “diamond anniversary.” Celebrating with a piece of diamond jewelry would be particularly significant and romantic for this anniversary.
Your five-year anniversary is the next major landmark in your marriage after your first anniversary. A diamond ring would be an especially considerate gift, especially due to the growing regard for five-stone diamond rings. The five diamonds represent each year of marriage and the ring itself symbolizes your bond and dedication to each other.
There are also flowers, colors, and gemstones traditionally associated with each anniversary that can inform your choices. For the 5 year anniversary, these are pink, daisies, and sapphires, so a five stone ring with a yellow center diamond or an eternity band with white diamonds and pink or yellow sapphires would be well received. The ten-year symbols, besides diamonds, are daffodils and the color blue. This is another case in which colored gemstones like blue or yellow sapphires can be a thoughtful addition to an elegant piece of jewelry.
Setting the right scene to unveil your ten or five year anniversary gift also plays a role. Wine, especially port, has a history in anniversary symbolism, as does mead, so dinner or tapas paired with one of these will set a perfect romantic mood.
In the end, of course, it doesn’t matter how traditional or trendy your gifts and celebrations are; if your jewelry and other gifts are chosen with love and attention to detail, your anniversary will be as joyful as your wedding day.
