Wedding Anniversaries - 45th, 50th, 60th

45th Wedding Anniversary - Sapphire
Forty five years of marriage is symbolised by the majestic sapphire. This regal  gemstone holds a very special legend at its heart; it's said that should the wearer's love begin to diminish, the colour of the stone will gradually transition from blue into green (though sapphires are more commonly blue, they can also actually be green)
Sapphire jewellery, in any form; earrings, pendants, rings make the perfect anniversary gift.
50th Wedding Anniversary - Gold

Fifty years is a lifetime together and only one gift can represent that – gold. Gold symbolises strength, wisdom and prosperity, all attributes that you have both spent your lives together building up.

Obviously, the most traditional gift is gold jewellery, gold cufflinks or a tie pin. 

60th Wedding Anniversary - Diamond

An incredible milestone, your 60th wedding anniversary is represented by diamond. Diamonds are made through extreme pressure and are one of the most durable materials in existence. They are seen as invincible, just as your love is after 60 years of marriage.

Celebrate this momentous occasion not just with diamond-themed gifts but also with a special dinner or party with your loved ones.
