Milestone anniversaries worth celebrating with jewellery

While every anniversary is worth marking, certain milestones are traditionally paired with fine jewellery: the 10th (diamond), 25th (silver), 40th (ruby), 45th (sapphire), 50th (gold) and 60th (diamond). These make a meaningful occasion to upgrade an engagement ring, add an eternity band, or gift a statement piece.

Choosing the right piece

For milestone years, consider an eternity ring, a pendant in the year's traditional gemstone, or a pair of earrings to match an existing piece. A jewellery upgrade or redesign using an original stone is also a popular way to mark a long marriage.
