Anniversary Jewellery Gifts by Year

Many anniversaries have a traditional gemstone associated with them, which makes choosing a meaningful gift much easier. Rather than list every year here, we keep a full breakdown in our anniversary stones guide, which pairs each year with its stone so you can match the gift to the occasion at a glance. Choosing a piece set with that year's stone gives the gift an instant story and shows real thought, which tends to matter more than size or price. If your year's stone is not one she loves, you can also lean on her birthstone or a favourite colour instead, since the point is meaning, not strict tradition. Once you know the stone, we can set it into a ring, pendant or earrings in our Coquitlam studio, or help you choose a ready piece that features it.

A piece built around meaning tends to land best. Setting the traditional stone for your anniversary year into a ring, pendant or pair of earrings is a classic, thoughtful choice, and our anniversary stones guide tells you which stone belongs to which year. Beyond the stone, an engraving with your wedding date, a redesign of your original engagement ring for a milestone, or a fully custom piece all make the moment personal. For major anniversaries, a diamond piece marks the occasion in a way she will remember. The key is that the gift feels tied to your history together rather than picked at random. We make anniversary pieces on site in our Coquitlam studio, so bring us the year and a sense of her style, and we will help you create something she will keep and wear.

Milestone years, like the tenth, twenty-fifth or fiftieth, call for something a little more significant, and a diamond piece or a custom design is a fitting way to mark them. A pair of diamond studs, a diamond pendant, or an upgraded or redesigned ring all carry the weight of a big occasion while remaining wearable. Reworking your original engagement ring into something new for a milestone is especially meaningful, since it keeps the story while refreshing the piece. For the biggest years, a fully bespoke design made just for her turns the anniversary into a lasting keepsake. Because these pieces often involve stones and custom work, it is worth starting a few weeks ahead. We design and make milestone pieces on site in our Coquitlam studio and will help you plan something memorable within your budget.

Yes, setting a particular stone is exactly the kind of work we do on site. Whether you want the traditional stone for your anniversary year, her birthstone, or a gem she has always loved, we can set it into a ring, pendant or pair of earrings and help you choose a setting that suits both the stone and her style. If you already own a stone, perhaps from an heirloom, we can often rework it into a new piece. The process begins with a conversation about the design, the metal and your budget, and we will guide you on what works well for that particular gem. Custom setting takes a little time, so come into our Coquitlam studio a few weeks before the occasion, and we will make sure the finished piece is ready when you need it.

Give yourself a few weeks for anything custom, and more for elaborate designs. A bespoke piece involves choosing and sometimes sourcing the stone, agreeing the design, and then making it well, none of which should be rushed if you want a result she will treasure. As a rough guide, come in two to four weeks ahead for a custom setting or a redesign, and earlier if you have a specific milestone date to hit or want an unusual stone. Simpler gifts, like adding an engraving to a ready piece, need less time but are still best not left to the final day. If your anniversary is close, tell us and we will be honest about what is achievable and suggest the best option. Visit our Coquitlam studio early and we will plan the timeline with you.
