Confused on what to purchase your beloved for your anniversary this year? We can assist! There is the ideal piece of jewellery to help you remember the time you've spent together, whether you've been dating for a year or sixty. Let's look at the finest methods to merge these themes into contemporary Swarajshop jewellery presents that your sweetheart will wear and adore that are nonetheless representative of traditional anniversary gifts that revolve around a certain material for each significant year.

Customary Anniversary Presents

According to this custom, a certain material or subject is associated with each anniversary year and is intended to be included into a gift. Even while the habit of presenting anniversary presents that link each year to a certain material may have originated in Ancient Rome, there isn't much evidence to support this claim. It first gained popularity in the 1800s, and over the ages, it has undergone several changes. As a relationship develops, the presents are supposed to become more valuable. Using symbolism is a wonderful strategy for these anniversary presents since you can play on the subject to make it work for you. However, you don't have to take each milestone literally; you can make it work for you.

First year: paper

This is a great anniversary for you! Give your spouse something they can wear frequently while still paying homage to the paper theme rather than just giving them a card: think about giving them a paper clip pendant necklace (like this one from our sister company, Miki Jane) or a straightforward paper clip chain bracelet. These fashions play with the idea of paper's history without taking it too literally, and they are both understated enough for daily wear and distinctive enough to make a special gift.

Second year: Cotton

Year two offers an opportunity to truly think outside the (jewellery) box because cotton isn't a material that is often utilised in Kundan jewellery. Find jewellery that your lover would adore, and as a reference to the customary anniversary motif, send a cotton polishing cloth with it. Even a personalised slogan, your wedding date, or the name of your spouse can be embroidered on the fabric. Keeping a gorgeous polishing cloth on hand is particularly helpful because we advise using one every time you wear your necklace jewellery.
