Anniversaries are special occasions that mark the passage of time and the enduring strength of relationships. Giving anniversary jewellery celebrates your love, commitment, and shared memories. In particular, silver jewellery has significance, it is meaningful, symbolic and it stands out for its timeless charm, elegance, and versatility.
In this guide, we will explore silver jewellery gift options for wedding anniversary presents to celebrate each significant milestone in a special way.
1ST ANNIVERSARY: PAPER
Perhaps named Paper because the relationship is still very new and fragile! But that doesn’t mean your gift has to be!
1ST ANNIVERSARY JEWELLERY
Opt for an anniversary necklace that has a fine chain, they may appear delicate but they are suitable for everyday wear.
Alternatively, for a subtle luxury, tailor stud earrings with gemstone that complements their eye colour. Contrast brown eyes with rich berry tones, purple gems or dazzling emerald greens. Mirror blue eyes with a blue stone, or contrast with golden tones and rusty oranges. Green eyes work well with rich red rubies.
10TH ANNIVERSARY: TIN/ALUMINIUM
The 10th anniversary, often symbolised by tin or aluminium, represents the flexibility and durability of a decade-long marriage. These metals are known for their ability to resist corrosion and withstand the test of time, much like a strong, enduring relationship. While tin and aluminium might not seem like traditional jewellery materials, their symbolism can be beautifully integrated into silver jewellery to create meaningful and elegant anniversary gifts.
10TH ANNIVERSARY JEWELLERY
- Choose silver necklaces and bracelets that incorporate gemstones. Gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires, or even birthstones can symbolise strength, resilience, and the precious nature of your relationship. For example, a silver bracelet adorned with a row of tiny diamonds or sapphires can represent the many beautiful moments shared over ten years.
For a more contemporary take, consider silver jewellery that subtly incorporates elements of tin or aluminium. These modern designs can blend the traditional 10th-anniversary themes with the elegance of silver, creating unique and thoughtful pieces. Examples include a silver pendant with aluminium accents or rings featuring tin-infused silver bands.
20TH ANNIVERSARY: CHINA
China traditionally symbolises the 20th anniversary, representing the delicate yet durable nature of a twenty-year relationship. China is known for its beauty, elegance, and intricate designs, much like the bond that has been nurtured over two decades. While China itself might not be a typical component of jewellery, its essence can be beautifully reflected in silver jewellery through delicate craftsmanship and intricate designs.
SILVER JEWELLERY CELEBRATING 20 YEARS
- Merge a traditional 20th anniversary theme with modern elegance by incorporating porcelain or ceramic accents into silver jewellery. These materials can add a touch of refinement and sophistication to silver pieces, making them perfect for marking this significant milestone. Examples include a silver pendant with a porcelain centrepiece or silver earrings with ceramic elements for a refined touch.
- Honour the china theme by selecting silver jewellery with intricate, china-inspired designs. These pieces can capture the essence of traditional china patterns and craftsmanship, creating timeless and meaningful gifts. Examples include a silver bangle with traditional china patterns or a silver ring with detailed filigree work.
25TH ANNIVERSARY: SILVER
The 25th anniversary, also known as the Silver Jubilee, marks a quarter-century of love, commitment, and shared experiences. Celebrating 25 years together is a significant milestone, symbolising the strength, beauty, and enduring nature of your relationship. Silver, with its radiant shine and timeless appeal, is the perfect emblem for this special occasion. It represents not only the preciousness of your bond but also its durability and lustre.

30TH ANNIVERSARY: PEARL
The 30th anniversary, is also known as the Pearl Anniversary, celebrating three decades of marriage. Pearls, known for their natural beauty and rarity, represent wisdom gained through experience, purity, and the strength that comes from the layers of time – much like a long-lasting marriage. Incorporating pearls into silver jewellery creates a stunning combination that highlights the elegance and sophistication of this special anniversary.

The 40th anniversary, known as the Ruby Anniversary, celebrates four decades of love and commitment. Rubies, with their deep red colour, symbolise passion, love, and vitality. They are also one of the hardest gemstones, representing the enduring strength and resilience of a marriage that has stood the test of time. Incorporating rubies into silver jewellery creates a striking contrast, making for pieces that are both visually stunning and deeply meaningful.
RUBY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY JEWELLERY
