Short answer: The most loved ways to give diamonds on a wedding anniversary are: a five-stone or full eternity ring, solitaire earrings, a tennis bracelet, a solitaire or tennis necklace, and a slim half eternity band to wear next to the solitaire. When choosing the gift, look at the jewellery they wear every day, their gold colour and their style; earrings and necklaces, which need no size, are the safest choices for a surprise.
Diamond ideas for an anniversary
Five-stone ring
Five diamonds side by side; they are said to stand for the years spent together and the memories shared. One of the classic anniversary gifts. What is a five-stone ring?
Full eternity ring
Known in the West as the “eternity ring”; its unbroken row of stones speaks of a commitment without end. It is often given on anniversaries and important moments. Full eternity ring.
Solitaire earrings
The most worn and most timeless diamonds; because they need no size, they are ideal as a surprise gift. How to choose solitaire earrings.
Tennis bracelet
An unbroken line of light around the wrist; worn both every day and on special occasions. Tennis bracelet.
Necklace
A solitaire on a fine chain, or a tennis necklace around the neck; a gift remembered every day. How to choose a diamond necklace.
A half eternity band next to the solitaire
A slim half eternity band that matches the solitaire given at the proposal; together the two rings take on a new meaning. Wearing a solitaire and a band together.
Ideas by year
| Anniversary | Our suggestion |
|---|---|
| The first years | Solitaire earrings, a slim half eternity, a solitaire necklace |
| 5th year | A five-stone ring |
| 10th year | A full eternity ring or a tennis bracelet |
| Milestone anniversaries | A tennis necklace or a diamond set |
In traditional anniversary lists, the 60th year is known as the “diamond anniversary”; some modern lists also suggest diamond jewellery for the 10th year. But the right gift is the one that shows how well you know them, more than the number of the year.
To choose the right gift
- Look at the gold colour: what colour is the jewellery they wear every day? Choosing a gold colour.
- Look at their style: do they like simple or glamorous?
- Mind the size: if you are thinking of a ring, measure one they wear in secret. Ring size.
- Think of a set: if they have a solitaire ring, matching earrings or a necklace build a set completed over time. Diamond sets.
Prepare in time: for a piece made for you, leave enough time before the anniversary date. If you tell us the date at the start, we can plan the stone selection and production around it.
Giving a lab-grown diamond
A lab-grown diamond lets you give a bigger or cleaner stone for the same budget; the stone is a real diamond and comes with its certificate details. It helps the budget a lot, especially with gifts that have many stones, such as full eternity rings, tennis pieces and sets. What is a lab-grown diamond?
