Looking for a new ring to commemorate your Wedding Anniversary

Wedding anniversary milestone jewellery has become a popular gift idea for many couples. Together with the traditional list, they have developed a modern list which includes gemstones and metals for each milestone.

The tradition of giving anniversary gifts seems to have started in medieval Germany. 
​When a couple reached 25 years of marriage, the wife was given a silver garland to mark the occasion. People in that era rarely lived to 50 years old, but in the event that they were married for 50 years, the wife would get a gold garland.
