Traditional Anniversary Gemstones
The following gem stones are associated with specific anniversaries, both wedding and other less formal arrangements. This is one of several anniversary gift lists in existence, but most of them differ in just a few minor details.
The gem stone gift lists originated with the European jewelers' guilds, and this version dates from around 1912.
Many people ignore anniversary gift lists and buy whatever they prefer for a loved one, but others enjoy the fun of following traditions like these. Some of the gems appear on more than one occasion, although the gaps are usually fairly large.
The list is a good starting point for stimulating some excellent gift ideas.
