You made it down the alter, now what kind of gift should you give to your beloved for your Anniversary?
Celebrate each year of marriage by giving your partner a special gift as a symbol of your love and devotion. Honour this milestone in your life with a unique piece of gemstone jewellery, made to treasure.
Giving a gift made of different material each year, is a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. During this period more common goods such as paper, cotton and glass were given to honour a wedding anniversary. Over the years these items were replaced with more durable beautiful gemstones like sapphire, jade and garnet.
