Anniversary Gemstones by Anniversary Year
Although there are traditional anniversary gift lists, modern anniversary gift lists and even anniversary flower lists, there doesn’t appear to be one authoritative anniversary gemstone list. However, there is an anniversary gemstone list that is endorsed by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the American Gem Society, the American Gem Trade Association, and others.
The following list is a common anniversary gemstone list and probably one of the most accepted lists currently available:
