History of Wedding Anniversary Gifts:
Married couples have have been celebrating anniversaries since the middle ages. Traditionally, husbands presented their wives with gold or silver wreaths as symbols of harmony to mark the special event. By the twentieth century, a list of specific materials was designated for the major milestone anniversaries:

Fifth - Wood, Tenth - Tin, Fifteenth - Crystal, Twentieth - China, Twenty-fifth - Silver, Thirtieth - Pearl, Fortieth - Ruby, Fiftieth - Gold, Sixtieth - Diamond, and Seventieth- Platinum.

The substance and significance of the gifts gradually increases, based on the idea that each additional year the couple is able to stay committed should bring a greater reward.

The American Gem Society, The Gemological Institute of America, The American Gem Trade Association, Jewelers of America, and the International Colored Gemstone Association took it a step further by compiling a list of gemstone jewelry for each anniversary year. Similar to the list of materials used to symbolize the marriage’s growing bond, the gemstones listed are based on the belief that the couple’s growing commitment to each other reflects their investment in the marriage. The list allows for each anniversary to be symbolized via a precious, unique gemstone to last a lifetime.
