The Complete Wedding Anniversary Gift Guide

Your wedding anniversary is one of the most beautiful occasions to celebrate each year, and each anniversary comes with its own significance. Every year of marriage is worth celebrating, as it’s wonderful to relish the love you and your spouse share and toast the growth you’ve experienced as a couple.

Some couples like to celebrate with trips away or going out for special dinners. But you can also celebrate particularly significant milestones with gifts associated with specific anniversaries. It can be challenging to track which anniversary is aligned with each specific gift, so at Faith Jewellers, we’ve created a handy jewellery gift guide so you can get your beloved the perfect gift for your next anniversary.

Wedding anniversary gifts by year

Whether you’re almost 12 months removed from the day you and your spouse tied the knot or you’ve been happily married for decades, taking time to find that special anniversary gift is always appreciated. 

Every couple is different. You may have your own traditions for anniversary gifting. But you can make your spouse’s day with a present that reflects and celebrates the years you’ve enjoyed together. Our guide takes you through the landmark anniversaries, recommends gifts associated with them and explores their significance.

The first anniversary you celebrate with your partner is beautiful. It will feel like the wedding was just yesterday, but you’ve already reached a magnificent milestone. The paper anniversary is known as such because paper symbolises the delicacy of a fresh marriage and the knowledge and appreciation gained in its first year.

While jewellery gifts aren’t the most common for the first anniversary, gold is often associated with the occasion. We’ve selected some of our favourite yellow gold jewellery that we feel are amazing gifts to celebrate your first year of marriage.

Your wood anniversary celebrates five years of marriage. It’s known as the wood anniversary because your relationship has grown, withstood challenges, and blossomed over time, much like a tree. The solidity and unification of strong wood are perfect parallels to a successful marriage.

The 5-year mark is often celebrated with wooden gifts or beautiful sapphire jewellery. This gorgeous gemstone is closely associated with sincerity and faithfulness. Find a stunning sapphire gift from our recommendations below.

Celebrating a decade of marriage is a wonderful occasion. Reflecting on 10 years of unity can bring back many memories and spark optimism as you look forward to the next decade together. Your 10th anniversary is the tin anniversary. Tin is a bright, strong and malleable metal that represents the stability of a successful marriage while highlighting the need for flexibility.

Mark your first incredible decade with something special. Nothing other than a beautiful piece of diamond jewellery can properly illustrate the love, commitment and joy that comes from 10 loving years of marriage.

The 15th anniversary is another brilliant and impressive milestone, although its name comes with a warning. A crystal is a beautiful and aspirational item but also fragile and easily broken. The crystal anniversary celebrates the achievement of a successful marriage while reminding couples to nurture their relationship and protect it from breaking apart with love and care.

The only appropriate gift for the crystal anniversary is a piece of crystal jewellery. At Faith Jewellers, we stock an incredible collection of Swarovski crystal jewellery and watches ideal for celebrating 15 years of marriage. You can also browse a stunning selection of Swarovski crystal ornaments that can take pride of place on your mantlepiece, providing a beautiful reminder of your successful relationship.

Like a monarch’s jubilee, 25 years marks a silver wedding anniversary. Silver is closely associated with strength and longevity, which a marriage needs in bucket loads to celebrate a quarter of a century. Your relationship has stood the test of time, and, like silver, it’s strong enough to last for many more years.

The best gift for a 25th wedding anniversary is, of course, stunning silver jewellery. We have incredible silver pieces from our very own Faith sterling silver range that would make an amazing anniversary gift.

Follow tradition and gift your spouse a stunning piece of pearl jewellery from Faith Jewellers to show the love and affection you’ve nurtured together for the last 30 years.

Celebrate the achievement of thriving as a couple after 40 years of marriage and embrace the symbolism of the ruby wedding anniversary.

Our range of ruby jewellery at Faith Jewellers includes gorgeous products that will make perfect gifts for this monumental milestone in your flourishing marriage.

Gold is precious, and so is your marriage. Reaching 50 years of loving matrimony is an incredible feat and should be celebrated. Your 50th anniversary is known as the golden anniversary, as gold reflects just how precious every single year together has been. 

Every up and down forms an unbreakable bond that only gets stronger and better with age. Faith 9ct gold jewellery is a fitting gift to celebrate such an occasion with your beloved. We’ve recommended some of our most elegant and beautiful pieces below.
