Gemstones are worn and loved for a number of reasons – including their symbolic significance. For centuries, gemstones have been associated with different wedding anniversaries, and are gifted between significant others, to symbolise their everlasting love.
If you have an anniversary coming up – a bespoke piece of jewellery with your celebratory gemstone might be a beautiful way to commemorate the date!

Whilst it isn’t a gemstone – the traditional gift for the first anniversary is gold. Simple and devine, gold is associated with the sun and the heart. It is a gift of true affection, and is symbolic of enlightenment. A timeless piece of jewellery from our collection can make for a perfect first anniversary gift. If you want to go the extra mile to make it personal, you can have your jewellery engraved with your own handwriting.

One of the most popular gemstones in the KIND studio – sapphires are loved for their eternal beauty, and diversity. Not only do they come in a range of deep blues, sapphires are also available in almost every colour (except red – which is then classified as a Ruby). Sapphires are the second hardest gemstones (after diamonds), and symbolise the unbreakable bond between a married couple, and is traditionally gifted on the 5th anniversary. The Rainbow Horizon Bar Necklace is a beautiful choice to celebrate this anniversary, as is the Margot Vintage Ring, or a bespoke design.

Just like the first year, the traditional gemstone for the 10 year anniversary is the Diamond. Unbreakable and ever-lasting, diamonds are the gemstone that is commonly worn to celebrate the first decade of marriage.

Our vintage ladies are another great gifting option, as their designs are unique – just like your relationship!
