Anniversary Gifts Celebrate Every Chapter

Every anniversary is a gift. It’s a milestone moment that celebrates how far you’ve come, as well as where you’re headed. Traditionally, anniversary gifts are linked to different materials, gemstones and colours, each carrying its own symbolism. Inspired by these traditions, here’s how we can help you celebrate some of the big ones.

5 Years:
Beautiful Blue

Five years together marks a love that has deepened and strengthened and, traditionally, this anniversary is associated with the colour blue. That’s what makes Blue Sapphire jewellery, a symbol of loyalty and sincerity, such a wonderful gift. Celebrate September babies with our Birthstone Collection, which includes beautifully crafted Sterling Silver earrings and pendants, set with sapphire blue Cubic Zirconias.

10 Years: Diamond Jewellery

A decade together deserves a gift as enduring as your love journey. Diamonds have always symbolised strength, eternity and an unbreakable connection, making them the ultimate 10-year anniversary gift. Celebrate your ten year milestone with a sparkling Diamond anniversary band or matching Diamond rings for the both of you. You could also choose an elegant Diamond pendant you can wear close to your heart, or a pair of Diamond solitaire stud earrings to cherish forever.

15 Years:
Watches

The traditional gift for fifteen years together is crystal, so it makes sense that the modern version is a watch. It’s also a great reminder that every minute spent together is a gift in itself. Our Tempo Legacy watches, for him and her, are meticulously crafted and boast a 5-year guarantee on their movement. You’ll also want to know about our new Tempo Diamond bracelet watches, featuring a sparkling Lab Grown Diamond accent set into the dial.

20 Years:
Enduring Emerald

Celebrating 20 years of togetherness? This milestone is traditionally associated with the colour emerald green, symbolising renewal, harmony and enduring love. As Emerald is the birthstone for May babies, you’ll find gorgeous gifts in our Birthstone Collection, as well as Tempo Jewellery, featuring emerald green Cubic Zirconia. Looking for something for him? You can’t go wrong with a classic bracelet watch featuring a striking green dial.
