Anniversary gifts
Anniversary gifts have a long tradition of a standard motif or theme as this modified table from the 1913 publication of "The Curious Lore of Precious Stones" illustrates. Many of the suggested anniversary gift themes hold true today others seem, shall we say a little off the mark for 21st Century America. This being the case with our own 100+ years in the jewelry findings business and many years of marriage we've thought it best for the shopping husband's health if we pass along a few words of not so subtle advise ;o), as the Anniversary gift can be something really special, remembered as an affirmation of your wedding vows and "talked about" for many, many years to come. We must also put in our disclaimer here, that it is only a small coincidence that some of the unique anniversary gift suggestions that our "Happy Husband Advisor" makes can be found are on our list of jewelry findings uses. So if you know any nice guy who asks where can I get ideas for an anniversary present ? Send him here.
