5 Year Anniversary Rings

The five year wedding anniversary is the first major milestone in a marriage since it marks the end of the “Honeymoon Phase”. This anniversary should be celebrated in style! Traditional five year anniversary gifts include wood, silverware, sapphires and daisies. You can set the theme of a perfect five year anniversary celebration with a romantic picnic and a bouquet of colorful daisies. For a modern spin on traditional gifts, present the love of your life with an ornate wooden box containing a five diamond anniversary ring made of silver and adorned with brilliant diamonds and sapphires.

10 Year Anniversary Rings

Ten year wedding anniversaries are a big deal and should be celebrated with as much romance as possible. Traditional ten year anniversary gifts include tin/aluminum, diamonds and daffodils. When the big day arrives, enjoy a romantic candle-lit dinner for two with a 10 year anniversary theme. Set the mood with a selection of favorite songs from when you were dating and decorate the table with plates and candlesticks made from tin or aluminum. A vase containing ten daffodils makes the perfect centerpiece. Finish the evening in style by presenting the love of your life with a diamond 10 year anniversary ring with a special message engraved inside.
