Wedding Anniversary Gift Guide
Title:
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.

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.
