12th Year Anniversary - Jade - 3 Designs

Anniversaries are traditionally celebrated with the giving of gifts relating to the year of the wedding or civil partnership. Around the turn of the 19th century it was popular to give gifts of paper, cotton or leather for the first few years. However, in more recent times and due to the increasingly availability of fine rare gemstones, it is more popular to give jewellery to the one you love.

In the twelfth year of marriage it is customary to give the gift of Jade. It is, and always has been, a popular gemstone across the globe. Especially prized in the Far East for its qualities and mystic properties. It is believed that diamond was once only prized because of its ability to cut Jade!
