What is an anniversary ring?

An anniversary ring is a piece of jewellery given to celebrate a milestone year in a relationship. They typically feature multiple stones set into a durable metal band. These rings are designed for daily wear alongside wedding and engagement bands. Common styles include multi-stone rows and gem-set half eternities.

How do I wear an anniversary ring?

These rings are traditionally worn on the ring finger of the left hand. Many people stack them alongside their existing wedding and engagement bands. Matching the metal colour and stone profile helps create a cohesive stacked appearance. Alternatively, they can be worn alone on either hand as a standalone statement.

How can I tell an antique ring from a vintage one?

Antique jewellery generally refers to pieces over a century old, encompassing Victorian and Edwardian eras. These often display hand-cut diamonds and specific claw configurations unique to those decades. Vintage pieces typically date from the mid-twentieth century onward. They often utilise white gold and cleaner, more uniform modern cut stones while retaining period character.
