How Much Should I Spend On An Anniversary Ring?Updated 2 years ago

We get asked this question a lot, and we are adamant that there is only one answer; it’s the same one we give to people choosing engagement rings or wedding rings:

However much you feel comfortable and happy spending.

To be honest, that’s our answer to just about any question that begins, “How much should I spend on…?” We encourage each person to choose what is best for them, and that’s how it should be. 

An anniversary ring is usually given for a significant milestone in your marriage; whether that’s for your first year, first decade, or fiftieth decade together is entirely up to you. Most people associate anniversary rings with gem-set bands, but we’ve had some lovely customers who have completely knocked this assumption on its head with incredible results. We think it’s worth thinking outside the box for anniversary gifts. If you would like some inspiratoin here are a few examples from our creative customers:

• One gentleman marked his fiftieth wedding anniversary by buying his wife her dream engagement ring that he hadn’t been able to afford when they were first married.
• One woman bought her husband a stunning and elegant wedding ring for their twenty-fifth anniversary because he had lost his original band within their first decade, and they’d never replaced it.
• One gentleman decided that a ring with all their children’s birthstones would be a nice touch - their family meant the world to them.
• One couple decided to have new matching wedding bands for a vow renewal ceremony to mark their tenth anniversary.
• One true romantic bought his wife of forty years a gold Claddagh to remind her that she still commanded his absolute love, loyalty, and friendship every bit as much as when they first met. His first gift to her had been a silver Claddagh as a promise ring.

In short, we believe that you know best what will be the most meaningful gift for your partner, and price is not at all a key factor. 

If you’re unsure where to start, get in touch with us and tell us a little about your beloved. We will be honored to help you find the perfect marker for this milestone in your love story.
