Gifts for the First Ten Years

Your wedding day was probably one of the best days of your life, but the anniversaries that follow are to be cherished as well. They are gentle reminders that your love grows stronger year after year, and there is no better way to commemorate this milestone than with a meaningful anniversary gift.

You are no doubt familiar with anniversary milestones that include materials like paper for your first year, cotton for the second. But did you know that the first ten years of your wedding anniversary can also be marked with gemstones?

Anniversary Gemstones

Besides the usual photo album or love letter for your first year, commemorate your first anniversary with mother of pearl, necklaces for her, cufflinks for him.

Along with a canvas portrait to mark your second year, its anniversary gemstone is lovely garnet: a love knot bracelet or garnet earrings.

Remember the following gemstones for each anniversary during your first decade together: moonstone for the third year, blue topaz for the fourth, rose quartz for the fifth, amethyst for the sixth, onyx for the seventh, tourmaline for the eighth, lapis lazuli for the ninth, and crystal to mark ten years together.

The first ten anniversaries can be celebrated with anniversary rings, stackables, infinity designs, gifts that are designed to accentuate the love you share. Traditional gifts are lovely, but nothing says I love you like a personally chosen gemstone accented anniversary gift to celebrate every year you spend as one.
