How to Shop for the Perfect Anniversary Band
Anniversary bands are a luxury. There really are no set rules for them. They are a modern jewelry trend that allows you to explore your own style while showing off your profound love for one another (again).
If you’re thinking about one for yourself or for your partner to help you symbolize the continued love in your life, here are a few things to consider when you shop for the perfect anniversary band.
Timing
Before you decided that an anniversary band is right for you, there are a few things you should consider. Anniversary bands are almost as sacred as engagement rings and weddings bands combined. So ask yourself, is the timing right? Is this the year of the anniversary band? Or is this the year we take a vacation?
Another thing that you’ll want to consider is your relationship. How strong is it? Do you want to buy your partner an anniversary ring as a token of your love or as an apology for the way things have ended up? Or are you expecting a life-changing event in the near future (e.g. a new baby, purchasing a house)? If so, is an anniversary band something you would be able to afford?
Now we know that every relationship is different and these do not apply to everyone, however, it’s important that you take all aspects into consideration.

Coordination
When you’re shopping for an anniversary band, one thing that you need to take into consideration is their purpose. Anniversary bands are made to be complementary with wedding bands and engagement rings.
So it’s essential that you try and coordinate the band with that the set that you or your partner already has. If your wedding ring(s) is a precious metal, then your anniversary band should be a precious metal as well. Or you can try the balancing act. Take an ornate wedding ring and pair it with a more subdued anniversary band.
One thing you don’t want to do here is to match the set that you already have with an anniversary band that has the complete opposite look. That would be like wearing a really good outfit with the wrong shoes.

Style
If you’re picking out a band for your partner as an anniversary gift, you want to make sure you’re picking out a band that fits their personality. We talked a little bit about this above, but you also want to make sure the ring matches the style of the current set.
Consider one of two things. You can take your partner shopping with you to help you pick out an anniversary band that they’ll love. Or you can try taking a picture of their current set to the store and having a jeweler assist you in picking out a good fit.
