Anniversary Jewelry Gift Ideas

Women's 10K gold Cuban link bracelet

The best anniversary jewelry marks the years you have shared: a diamond piece, a gold bracelet or chain, a new band, or a custom piece with a name or date. Pick something they will wear often, so every time they put it on, they think of you.

What is a good anniversary gift for my wife or girlfriend?

  • A gold bracelet. A women's Cuban link or paper clip bracelet is easy to wear every day. Shop bracelets
  • Diamond pieces. Diamond earrings, a diamond watch or a piece with diamond accents for a milestone year.
  • Gold hoops or studs. An upgrade to the earrings she wears most. Shop hoops
  • A custom nameplate. Her name, your last name, or a word that belongs to the two of you. See nameplate styles

What is a good anniversary gift for my husband or boyfriend?

  • A gold chain. A Cuban, Franco or rope chain he can wear every day. Shop chains
  • A new band. Some couples upgrade or add a band on a big anniversary. We carry men's wedding bands and diamond rings. Shop rings
  • A bracelet. A Franco or Byzantine bracelet pairs well with a watch.

What are the traditional anniversary gifts for jewelry?

Some traditional anniversary lists link certain years to materials. A few that point to jewelry:

Anniversary Traditional theme Jewelry idea
10th Tin or aluminum White gold, for the silver tone
25th Silver White gold chain or bracelet
50th Gold A solid gold piece
60th Diamond Diamond earrings, ring or watch

You do not have to follow the list. The best gift fits the person.

How do I choose a diamond for an anniversary?

Diamonds are graded by the 4Cs:

  • Cut: how well the stone is shaped to reflect light. Cut has the biggest effect on sparkle.
  • Color: how colorless the stone is. Less color usually means a higher grade.
  • Clarity: how few tiny marks are inside or on the surface.
  • Carat: the weight of the stone. One carat equals 0.2 grams.

For a gift, cut matters most because it decides how bright the piece looks. Each product listing shows the stones where relevant. If you have questions, come in and look at pieces side by side.

Can I engrave an anniversary gift?

Yes. A wedding date, initials or a short phrase inside a band or on the back of a piece makes it yours. Engraving is done in our store; call or text for details and pricing. You can also bring in a piece they already own and add the date.

How far ahead should I order?

Custom nameplates and custom pieces are made to order in 10 to 14 business days. If your anniversary is coming up soon, choose an in-stock piece or visit us. If you need a ring resized for the occasion, ring sizing is done in store too.
