WHAT IS AN ANNIVERSARY RING?
An anniversary ring is a ring that you give your significant other as a gift for a special milestone in your marriage. They are rings made from precious metal, diamonds, and gemstones. While anniversary rings can be gifted for any anniversary, they are commonly given at major milestones, such as 1 year, 5 years, 10 years and 25 years of marriage.
ANNIVERSARY RING FOR HER BY MAJOR MILESTONES
1st Anniversary: Yellow Gold Diamond Eternity Ring
For your first anniversary, there is no better choice than a diamond eternity ring, which is also known as an infinity ring. A diamond eternity ring is one continuous loop of diamonds. It represents everlasting love.
With the gift of a diamond eternity ring on your first anniversary, you will have created the “trinity” – engagement ring, wedding band, eternity ring. This pattern symbolizes fidelity, love, and eternity.
While tradition states a diamond band is a 10 year anniversary gift, the modern woman would greatly appreciate this on her 1st anniversary, because women love the look of a diamond ring stack.
The engagement ring, wedding band, and eternity ring is the ultimate ring stack for a married woman, so what better time to create this revered look than on your first anniversary.
Now, in terms of keeping with tradition, you can still manage tradition while pleasing your woman with the highly coveted ring stack look. To do this, get the diamond eternity ring in yellow gold, as yellow gold is the standard, and dare we say “good luck”, first year anniversary gift.

Choosing the right diamond eternity ring
Choose a diamond eternity ring that matches her engagement ring and wedding band, as you want the stack to be harmonious. So, if her engagement ring is big, opt for a large yellow gold eternity ring. Moreover, pay attention to the diamond shape, as it can really make or break the stack. They don’t have to be the same, but they should go well together.
All in all, consider her style and the stack as a whole when choosing the eternity ring.
Note: Eternity rings are not all about stacks, of course. Larger eternity rings like the one pictured above look fantastic on their own finger too. So, if your lovely lady prefers to stack rings on multiple fingers, get a juicy eternity ring that will shine proudly on its own. It will give her more flexibility in how she wears it too.

5th Anniversary: Sapphire Ring
Tradition suggests that a sapphire ring is given on the 5th anniversary. It’s the perfect reminder of the love you share, and it’s a symbol of strength and hope of the marriage for many years to come.
Beyond what the sapphire constitutes in a loving marriage, the gem is unbelievably gorgeous and highly valuable. It is the most coveted precious gemstone in the world, as well as one of the rarest. The value of sapphires continues to exponentially increase, year after year. Thus, a sapphire ring is not just an emotional investment for your relationship, it is an investment investment that she can wear on her finger. Win-win. After 5 years of marriage, you are past the honeymoon phase, so financially sound thinking is an even bigger attraction, and undeniably a sort of glue for most marriages.
How to choose a sapphire ring
There are 4 simple things to look for in a sapphire.
- Juicy, even color
- No glaring inclusions visible to the naked eye
- Well proportioned cut
- Carat size (the larger it is the more expensive it will be!)
Beyond that, just choose a ring you think she will love. You can also include her in the decision. After all, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with getting your wife a ring she absolutely adores, is there? Even if that means she chooses it herself! It’s 2020, that’s how things are these days, and women don’t seem to have any complaints about it. Not when it comes to a purchase that costs thousands of dollars.
Let’s have a look at a few breathtaking sapphire rings that make for the perfect 5th anniversary gift for her:
Oval Sapphire Ring With Diamonds
This is a very beautiful three stone ring with a 6.13 carat sapphire diamond at the center. The accent diamonds are equally impressive. They are kite cut G color VS diamonds. If you want a ring that she will love forever, this is the one.
Star Sapphire and Diamond Ring
For the woman who loves things that are larger than life, this jaw-dropping ring will surely do the trick. It features a massive 39 carat oval shape star sapphire and approximately 3 carats of baguette cut and trillion cut diamonds. The design is incredibly unique and just the sheer size will make it so this ring simply can’t be missed. Moreover, because of its size and style, it can be worn on any finger flawlessly (i.e. index, ring finger). If you want a ring that your wife can show off proudly at any extravagant event, this star sapphire and diamond ring is a great option.
Round Brilliant Diamond Sapphire Halo Flower Motif Ring
This ring doubles down on the emotion of love with its flower shape motif. It showcases a huge 4.1 carat round brilliant diamond at the center, surrounded by “petals” of diamonds and sapphires. The sapphires weigh up to a total of 1.5 carats and are of the highest quality. All in all, when you give your wife this gorgeous sapphire and diamond ring, it will be like you just reignited that special day when you first proposed to her.
How to wear these sapphire rings?
Sapphire rings are made for their own finger, and often times their own hand. She will likely opt to put her sapphire anniversary ring on her right hand. While it can be placed on any finger she pleases, but typically it would go on the right hands ring finger.

10th Anniversary: Large Diamond Band
Ten years of marriage is very big milestone. So, if you can, go big with this one.
Tradition states that the 10 year anniversary ring is the diamond band. With this, you will have a lot of options.
You’ll need to consider the size of the ring, the diamond shape and cut, and the precious metal. While mixing metals is awesome, is that a look your wife will love? Ask yourself what her style is and go for it.
We like to think of the 10 year anniversary ring as a stand-alone piece. Not something she will stack. So, we suggest going as big as you can afford, without sacrificing diamond quality or your bank account.
Let’s have a look at some exquisite, large eternity rings with timeless appeal that make for the flawless 10 year anniversary ring for her.
Cushion Cut Eternity Ring
This is an absolute stunner that will look great on its own finger or stacked with an engagement ring of colossal size. It features 12.55 carats of identical cushion cut diamonds set in 14k white gold. While this piece is ridiculously stunning, it is also highly durable. So, if you have an active lady on your hands, this will be a great choice.
Emerald Cut Eternity Ring
This is an eternity ring that looks as pure as fresh water ice. If your wife has an engagement ring with baguettes in it or you think she prefers the more contemporary diamond appeal of step cuts, this is the one. Just be careful, as this eternity ring might steal the show from her engagement ring. In any case, this is more than worthy for any relationship milestone. It’s a ring that will drop the jaw of any woman. Not to mention, make her friends jealous.
All in all, we suggest talking with your wife about what she would like. At 10 years of marriage, we are sure you already know this though.
