Gemstones for Anniversary & Anniversaries

The concept of anniversary gifts is nothing new. Some trace it as far back as Ancient Roman times. Others say that the Victorian Era – a period that emphasized the importance of love in a marriage – cemented the tradition of anniversary gifts.

Unlike gemstones designated as birthstones, there is no official list of gemstones that should be gifted for wedding anniversaries. However, organizations like the GIA developed a list that has become an accepted guide.
