Moissanite Anniversary Gift Ideas: What to Give for Every Milestone
An anniversary gift works best when it fits the year you are celebrating. A first anniversary calls for something light and wearable; a tenth or a twenty-fifth deserves a piece with more meaning, like an eternity band or a bigger stone. Moissanite makes every level possible, because it gives the look of a large, bright stone at a modest price. Here are ideas by milestone, with real prices from our store.
First Anniversary: Something to Wear Every Day
The first year is about everyday pieces that become part of the routine.
- Round moissanite stud earrings, from $149.99 in sterling silver and $649.98 in 14K gold. The classic first fine jewelry gift.
- Round moissanite bezel necklace, from $149.99 in sterling silver. Smooth and snag-free for daily wear.
Early Years: Start a Collection
Add one piece each year in the same metal so they build into a matching set: studs, then a pendant in the same shape, then a band to stack with the engagement ring. Our gift guide by budget lists ideas under $150, $250 and $500.
Tenth, Twentieth, Twenty-Fifth: An Eternity Band
The eternity band was made for milestone anniversaries: a continuous line of stones for a love that keeps going. Worn beside the engagement ring, it turns two rings into a set.
- 2 mm round moissanite half eternity band, from $132.99
- 3 mm round moissanite band, from $201.79
- Emerald cut moissanite eternity band, from $699.99

Big Decades: A Tennis Bracelet or an Upgrade
- A tennis bracelet is the statement anniversary gift. Ours run from the 3.19 ct tw four-prong bracelet at $343.40 in silver to the 10 ct tw open basket bracelet. Read our tennis bracelet guide for sizing and clasps.
- An upgrade: a larger centre stone, a move from sterling silver to solid gold, or a new ring altogether. With moissanite, each extra carat on a simple solitaire adds only $50; see big moissanite engagement rings.
- A diamond: if the milestone calls for a real diamond, our lab grown diamond rings come with an IGI grading report for centre stones of 1 carat or more.
Make It Personal
- Engraving: add a date or a few words inside a ring for free, up to 20 characters. Engraved pieces are made only for you and are final sale.
- Her color: a colored stone in blue, green or champagne for a birthday month or a favourite color; see the colored moissanite guide.
- A custom piece: a stone in the shape of your engagement ring, or a band made to sit against it. Start on our custom design page.
Get the Details Right
- Metal: match the jewelry they already wear; 14K gold is the practical choice for daily wear. Compare colors in yellow, white or rose gold.
- Size: for a ring, borrow one they wear on the same finger and use our ring size guide; earrings, pendants and adjustable bracelets avoid the question.
- Timing: every piece is made to order in about 8 to 10 business days, then free standard shipping takes 8 to 20 business days, or express 6 to 9. Order about six weeks before the date with standard shipping, or about four weeks with express.
Quick Answers
What is a good anniversary gift in jewelry?
Stud earrings or a pendant for the early years, an eternity band for milestone years, and a tennis bracelet or ring upgrade for the big decades.
Is moissanite a good anniversary gift?
Yes. It is hard enough for everyday wear at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, sparkles more than a diamond and costs far less, so you can give a bigger, brighter piece.
What does an eternity ring mean as an anniversary gift?
Never-ending love. The unbroken line of stones stands for a marriage that continues, which is why it is a popular gift for the tenth or twenty-fifth anniversary.
How far ahead should I order?
About six weeks with free standard shipping, or about four weeks with express, because each piece is made to order.
