Anniversary Jewelry • Stage of Relationship • Milestone Jewelry • Jewelry Gifts
Perhaps the finest tangible way of commemorating different stages of a relationship is sanctifying them with jewelry - something you feel best symbolizes the unbroken bond you have shared for so long. This obviously differs from person to person, but some ideas worth considering - and even building upon - include gold rings or jewelry to mark your first year together, diamonds to mark your tenth year, platinum jewelry and/or emerald gemstones for your twentieth, ruby or garnet stones marking your fortieth, fancy blue diamonds for your landmark fiftieth anniversary, and so on.
