The traditional gift for four year anniversaries is silk - and while it sounds like this really doesn’t leave you many options in the jewelry stakes, in fact it opens up the huge and exciting world of pendants, with plenty of great gifts for both sexes - which can all be popped on silk cords! You’ll see that silk cords come in a variety of colors, and not only feel lovely and warm against your skin compared to metal chains, but are extremely durable, and add contrast, color and life to a piece. One of the pieces which comes with a pre-selected silk cord is the oval pendant at the beginning of the article. This is made of sterling silver, so is quite budget friendly, and the red silk cord gives it a lift out of the realms of the ordinary - and should hopefully lift your marriage a little also! The cord measures 45cm, so will sit up high on your husband’s handsome neck, and a little lower, but still in a noticeable position, on a woman’s.

However, you can put just about any pendant you wish on a silk cord. Many people are worried about the durability and strength of silk cords, but you can rest assured that a gorgeous pendant is certainly not going anywhere on one of these soft, luxurious silken chains! A single strand of silk is extremely breakable, but these cords have thousands woven together, and are both smoothly flowing and enduringly solid! No matter how hard they catch on something, they will definitely not break all at once. You can see some of the different colors of silk cord at the bottom of the article on the right hand side - most of these are quite unisex colors, and will suit either gemstone pendants for women, or enamel or stainless steel numbers for men.

There is a handy 4th anniversary gifts section on site, which has a great selection of gifts for women. If you use the product finder box which comes up near the top of the page, clicking on teh Style tab, and selecting the Pendant box, you’ll get a great selection of gifts. ON a blue silk cord, you could try something like the sapphire and diamond cascade pendant pictured. This pendant contains seven pear-shaped blue sapphires, as well as three genuine white diamonds. The ten gems are contained in a dainty 2.7cm long piece, and all set on a gorgeous white gold base. It is a stand-alone item, so you won’t be left wondering what to do with an included chain, when you get the blue silk cord!

Something like the ruby and diamond pendant pictured underneath the gorgeous sapphire piece would go well on either a white or red silk cord. The rubies are natural, not synthetic, with a combined gemstone weight of .44ct. The diamonds weigh .2ct combined, and all of the gems are set on the highest quality 18ct white gold. While the white gold chain pictured is included with the pendant, this will either give your wife different wear options, or make a great base for your next pendant gift to her!

While there are fewer yellow gemstone pendants (although citrines are really gaining in popularity, as well as yellow sapphires!), yellow silk cords also make a great base for yellow gold based pendants like the heart aquamarine one pictured at right. The heart cut aquamarine is a .44ct, 5mm wide gemstone, and despite its size, is extremely affordable. The 9ct gold base keep s the entire thing well within budget for most, even at Christmas time when there are hundreds of demands on your wallet or purse!

We know that diamonds are forever, just like your marriage … diamonds will be with her in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, until death do they part (although they aren’t quite as cuddly at night as you are!). For diamond princesses, the Pandora limited edition pendant is a great choice. Made in 14ct yellow gold, with .25ct of natural diamonds, it comes ‘pre-loaded’ onto a black cord necklace, and although this isn’t made of silk, you could easily change it for a black silk cord. It will also go beautifully on gold silk, or even white silk to complement the diamonds. There is a whole range of matching jewelry for this gorgeous necklace., including the limited edition diamond ring, with the same filigree design made of dainty bubbled gold, and the diamond and pearl earrings - all of the finer things in life, together in one piece!

And there are also plenty of options in the men’s pendant section - you’ll most likely be looking at a stainless steel or sterling silver piece, set against a white or silver silk cord background. However, red and blue also make great male colors, and make for a bit of individuality among the sea of silver colors in men’s jewelry land! The Inori men’s pendant pictured would look fantastic against a blue silk cord, with its tiny hint of blue in the pendant. It is made from stainless steel, and the color comes from PVD plating. Best of all, it has space for two engraved messages, on the front and the back. The extra charge fr engraving is really very small, and when you consider that the product ships for free across Australia, this more than makes up for it!

Anything in plain sterling silver or stainless steel looks great against a red silk background - just check the oval pendant at the beginning of the article if you don’t believe me! The stainless steel pendant pictured is a more male-oriented piece, at a solid 4.5cm long. This also has space for engraving on the back, and while the leather cord is included with it, this only gives you an incentive to build up his pendant collection at Christmas time, as well as for your fourth anniversary!

Of course, there is an absolutely enormous range of pendants for her and pendants for him, that would all look fantastic against the color and natural softness of silk.
