Yellow gold diamond anniversary rings, white gold anniversary rings, platinum anniversary rings… the options are wide and varied.  So where do you start when buying a diamond anniversary ring to celebrate a special wedding anniversary?  Diamond Manufacturers gives you a quick guide.

Diamond anniversary rings are a popular gift to mark special wedding anniversaries and other milestones for married couples.  Rings designed especially for this purpose come in a wide range of designs, from classic white gold anniversary rings to modern platinum diamond anniversary rings.

Although a 60^th wedding anniversary is known as a Diamond Wedding Anniversary, rings are not limited to celebrations marking six decades of marriage alone.  We have customers who mark five, ten or twenty years with a diamond anniversary ring.  There really are no set rules for buying anniversary jewellery these days.

The design of anniversary rings is often similar to engagement rings and wedding bands, although they are frequently somewhat more elaborate and informal.  Anniversary bands usually have multiple small diamonds set into a platinum, white or yellow gold band. 

A three-stone diamond anniversary ring typically has one larger diamond set between two smaller diamonds.  Five-stone diamond anniversary rings, however, usually consist of five diamonds of a similar size and colour going around the whole ring to symbolise eternal love.  Diamond eternity rings and diamond anniversary rings are very similar in this respect.

As diamond anniversary rings are normally worn alongside the original wedding band and engagement ring, most couples opt for a ring that matches and complements existing wedding jewellery.   The usual order in which these wedding sets are worn is with the anniversary ring at the bottom, the engagement ring in the middle and the wedding band above that.

Whatever your preference, it is worth considering how many rings you or your partner plans to wear at any given time.  This will in part depend on whether you have active lifestyles or whether you want to consider sporting the anniversary ring on the other hand.

Some partners decide, however, to replace their gold wedding ring or diamond engagement ring with a new diamond anniversary ring.  The reason for this could be that they want to preserve their original engagement ring or wedding ring as a family heirloom.  Another consideration may be that their taste or financial fortunes have changed and they simply want a bigger and better diamond anniversary ring.

The ring size need not be a consideration, however, as ring sizes can easily be adjusted.  We offer a free lifetime resizing service for all your diamond engagement rings, wedding bands and anniversary jewellery. 

Similarly, it is worth making the most of cleaning services for your diamond jewellery.  A specialist jeweller, such as Diamond Manufacturers, will also be able to check that the setting of your diamond jewellery is still secure.  A timely clean and check-up for your diamond rings can prevent loss of a stone on a much treasured piece of jewellery.

Diamond Manufacturers has a range of gorgeous diamond anniversary rings and diamond eternity rings.  If you cannot find the ring of your choice, our customer service team is at hand to help you find it.  We have a large number of other anniversary and eternity rings in stock that are not currently displayed on the website.

Diamond anniversary rings are a great way to reaffirm your commitment and affection for one another.  Such messages are usually private, such as nicknames couples have for each other.  Diamond Manufacturers offers an engraving service to add a special message, name or wedding anniversary date to your jewellery. Our engagement ring and diamond experts will be delighted to provide you more information on our engraving services, and they are available for live chat (online, on the phone or in person) 7 days a week.
