Diamond Anniversary Gift Guide: By Year and Milestone

Anniversary gifts mark the years you have built together. Diamond jewelry — whether the traditional 10th or 60th anniversary stone or a meaningful gift at any milestone — carries weight because it lasts as long as the marriage it celebrates.

Traditional Anniversary Milestones

Year Traditional Diamond Gift Idea
1st Paper Diamond stud earrings (1ct total)
5th Wood Diamond pendant necklace
10th Diamond Diamond eternity band or upgrade center stone
15th Crystal Diamond tennis bracelet or statement earrings
20th China Matched diamond jewelry set
25th Silver Upgraded engagement ring or 2ct+ stud earrings

The 10th Anniversary: The Diamond Year

The 10th anniversary is traditionally the diamond anniversary. Popular gifts include:

  • Eternity band: A ring of diamonds worn alongside the engagement ring and wedding band. Symbolizes a decade of commitment. Choose to match your existing ring metal.
  • Center stone upgrade: Replace or upgrade the engagement ring's center diamond. A 10-year marriage often coincides with a budget that can accommodate the ring you could not afford at 25.
  • Diamond stud earrings: If she does not already have them, 1ct or 2ct total weight studs are the most-worn piece of diamond jewelry after the engagement ring.
