Wedding Anniversary Gift Guide

Title:
To celebrate each milestone beyond your wedding, Swarovski reveals a modern take on the traditional tokens of love. Our anniversary gifts by year follow the symbolic inspiration and pieces of jewellery that romantics have been giving for centuries.

First Anniversary - Paper

Modern Gift: Watches
Colour: Gold and Yellow

Signifying the blank page your love story will be written on, paper is the traditional gift for a first anniversary. Celebrate this idea with a luxurious ballpoint pen, or go for the modern alternative of clocks and watches. Our gold-tone timepieces adorned in crystals are a scintillating choice.

Second Anniversary - Cotton

Title:

Modern Gift: China
Colour: Red

Cotton is the traditional expression of unity, as each fibre represents two people that are interwoven in love. The modern alternative is China, with an enduring beauty and sophistication that is made to last. Keep this in mind as you explore our gifts in red – the classic colour of a second year anniversary gift.

Third Anniversary - Leather

Modern Gift: Crystals
Colour: Jade and White

You have come to the perfect place for a third year anniversary gift. Our watch straps are made from the traditional gift of leather, implying the growing strength of your relationship, while the modern gift of crystals represent every facet of your love. Choose a colour to match this significant moment.

Fourth Anniversary - Fruit or Flowers

Modern Gift: Appliances
Colour: Blue and Green

Four years after your wedding, your marriage is blossoming and ripening into something beautiful. For that reason, fruit and flowers are the traditional gifts for a fourth anniversary. Discover Swarovski’s nature-inspired range of decorations and jewellery, with many in emotive shades of green and blue.

Fifth Anniversary - Wood

Title:

Modern Gift: Silverware
Colour: Blue, Pink, and Turquoise

For this marriage milestone, couples often give each other the gift of wood as it symbolises the strong roots you are putting down. Silverware, however, is the modern 5th year anniversary gift, as it signifies all the meals you have shared together.  Why not make the romantic connection clear through a meaningful piece of rhodium-plated jewellery complemented by coloured crystals?

Sixth Anniversary - Iron or Candy

Title:

Modern Gift: Wood
Colour: Purple, White, and Turquoise

Candy is a reminder of the sweetness you enjoyed during your early days of dating, and encourages you to keep that youthful feeling alive. Try a twist on this traditional sixth year anniversary gift by choosing a candy-like piece of Swarovski jewellery, which combines delectable shades with shimmering light.

Seventh Anniversary - Copper or Wool

Modern Gift: Desk Sets
Colour: Yellow and Off-White

Copper and wool are two gifts that symbolise warmth, which radiates through the 7th year of marriage. Find a jewellery gift in copper or yellow tones, or warm their heart with our Fluffy the Lamb figurine. Alternatively, you could follow the modern theme with inspired desk decorations for him or her.

Eighth Anniversary - Bronze

Title:

Modern Gift: Linen or lace
Colour: Bronze

It takes the combination of copper and tin to create the alloy known as bronze. This is emblematic of the two people required to form a marriage, while also representing a unity of strength. That same shade and sentiment can be beautifully expressed through our range of jewellery pieces in gleaming rose gold-tone plating.

Ninth Anniversary - Pottery

Modern Gift: Leather
Colour: Purple

Pottery is the creative 9th year anniversary gift that celebrates the moulding of a relationship. To make that tradition shine, we have fused crystals with porcelain to produce our colourful Rosenthal tableware. For a modern option, you could also embrace a sense of strength by gifting one of our leather Swarovski watch straps.

Tenth Anniversary - Tin or Aluminium

Modern Gift: Diamond Jewellery
Colour: Silver and Blue

As you reach a full decade of marriage, tin or aluminium is a traditional sign of the resilience in your love. To take that idea of durability even further, diamond jewellery is the modern alternative. Immerse yourself in our Swarovski Created Diamonds range to make it a brilliant 10th anniversary celebration.

Eleventh Anniversary - Steel

Modern Gift: Fashion Jewellery
Colour: Turquoise

For your 11th anniversary, steel is the traditional gift that signifies your unbreakable bond, while fashion jewellery offers a modern alternative. Why not combine the two with a luxurious Swarovski timepiece in stainless steel? Perhaps the most sophisticated way to treat your husband or wife.

Fifteenth Anniversary - Crystal

Modern Gift: Watches
Colour: Ruby

A crystal gift in the 15th year of marriage is all about celebrating the many light-filled facets of your love. Naturally, Swarovski has a universe of crystallised presents to discover. You can even combine that tradition with the modern gift of watches, with a range of colour options including this year’s ruby shade.

Twentieth Anniversary - China

Modern Gift: Platinum
Colour: Emerald Green

Two decades of marriage has always been marked with the classic splendour and beauty of China. Swarovski offers a playful twist on that tradition with decorative pieces inspired by the Chinese zodiac. Choose something lucky, or instead find a jewellery gift in this year’s emblematic colour of emerald green.

Twenty-Fifth Anniversary - Silver

Modern Gift: Silver
Colour: Silver

After 25 years, your marriage is a shining example of enduring love. For that reason, sterling silver has become both the traditional and modern gift. Swarovski has beautiful silver-tone jewellery to mark this celebration as well as classic sterling silver pieces. Find a radiant style that reflects your relationship.

Thirtieth Anniversary - Pearl
