Celebrate anniversary milestones with gifts that match the occasion.
Milestone anniversaries celebrate two lives shared through thick and thin. When married couples reach a milestone anniversary, gifts that celebrate the couple's commitment and love inspire and move. Milestone anniversaries call for extraordinary gifts like precious gemstones. When purchasing precious gems, such as rubies, emeralds and diamonds, buy from vendors with social consciences.
Rubies
Faux Rubies make dramatic milestone anniversary gifts.
Think outside the ruby jewel box for a milestone anniversary gift. Give each other deep red crystal. Adorn your home's entryway or dining room with a dramatic red crystal chandelier. While natural rubies are rare and dazzling gemstones, find alternatives to them. Most rubies originate in Myanmar, a country known for its human rights violations. The US Congress has outlawed imported rubies from the country. Give each other red crystal jewelry---a tie clip for him and matching necklace and earrings for her.
Emeralds
Emeralds radiate the soothing comfort of years spent together.
Emeralds dazzle when celebrating a milestone anniversary. These precious gems occupy a divine realm in gemstone lore as the goddess Venus' gem. If cost is irrelevant, an emerald brooch or pendant expresses your feelings toward your goddess bride. Emeralds are mined in Brazil, among other places. Plan a trip to Rio de Janeiro for Carnival.
Diamonds
A milestone anniversary deserves a gift that illuminates lives shared.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, as they say. Recognize any milestone anniversary with diamond gifts. Purchasing diamonds, like purchasing rubies, requires attention to vendors and a social conscience. The Conflict-Free Diamond Council cautions that the quest for diamonds has led to war, human rights violation and suffering. Once you have located a jeweler who deals in conflict-free diamonds, commission custom designed diamond jewelry for each other. For the groom, create signature diamond cuff links. Match the design to a diamond anniversary band for the bride.
