Stage of Relationship & Milestones
Perhaps the finest tangible way of commemorating different stages of a relationship is sanctifying them with jewellery- something you feel best
symbolizes the unbroken bond you have shared for so long. This obviously differs from person to person, but some ideas worth considering- and even
building open-include gold jewellery to mark your first year together, diamonds to mark your tenth year, platinum jewellery for your twentieth,
ruby or garnet stones marking your fortieth, fancy blue diamonds for your landmark fiftieth anniversary, and so on. Please see the chart below to
discover annual anniversary gift ideas, both traditional and modern. At Ron Wilkin Jewellers, we love to help you celebrate these milestones and
create lasting memories through beautiful gifts.
