Wedding anniversaries: the stones
In France, each wedding anniversary has a name: cotton for the first year, silver at 25 years, gold at 50… Several of them are associated with a stone or a precious metal: the perfect occasion to give jewellery that carries the right symbol. Here are the anniversaries concerned, with our matching jewellery.

Which jewellery to give?
For a pearl wedding anniversary, a necklace or studs with cultured pearls remain a classic. For a ruby or emerald anniversary, a solid gold ring or pendant marks the milestone. And for a golden or diamond anniversary, a wedding band or a solitaire extends the promise. Need advice? Our team will answer you by message or in our jewellery shop in Beauvais – Allonne.
