Don’t freak out. I want to have a frank discussion with you about diamond anniversary rings. I know you thought that after purchasing the engagement ring, you would never have to go through the expensive, laborious process of buying another diamond. There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that tradition dictates that your 60th wedding anniversary is your “diamond” anniversary and therefore should be celebrated with the gift of a diamond. So tradition is on your side. The bad news is that many women will definitely want to see more bling before they have been married to you for 60 years. Plus, if you go buy the modern list, you’re due to buy her diamonds by the 10th anniversary.

(ThereÂ’s really no need to go by this list unless you want toÂ…Joel and I definitely have not). Anyway, hereÂ’s some more info on diamond anniversary bands in case you are interested in finding out. Typically, diamond anniversary bands are in essence eternity bands, meaning bands that symbolize that your commitment will last until eternity. How this is symbolized in the jewelry world is usually through a precious metal band with small diamonds surrounding the ringÂ’s circumference. The diamonds can be itty bitty chips or big olÂ’ studs depending on your budget and desire for flash. Other gemstones, such as you womanÂ’s birthstone are often used as well, either in isolation or alternating with the diamonds. A ring with small diamond chips will set you back a few hundredÂ….big diamonds will obviously cost a lot more. In any event, most women would love to receive a diamond anniversary ring, so it may be worth shelling out the cash for her delighted response.
