Gifting pearls for an anniversary: choosing the right piece
For a married couple, celebrating anniversaries is an important part of the relationship. They symbolize an extended period of time together, and this is particularly true for celebrating the pearl wedding anniversary, also known as the 30th wedding anniversary.
Our Ceres Ring and Arabesque Ring are just begging to be given as a special gift that will be remembered forever. Whether you're having lunch with your partner or on a spontaneous coffee date, giving a bright white pearl is the perfect way to say those three magic words.
Pearls aren't just for anniversaries. Whether it's for a wedding, a birthday gift, or Valentine's Day, you can be sure that pearls are the right gift every time. Unlike diamond or other stone jewelry, pearls can be worn on most occasions and to multiple events when paired with the right clothing and accessories. For example, a well-placed pearl bracelet can be worn on all of them effortlessly. Our Lyra Bracelet encompasses understated elegance and looks great both day and night.
Pearls are a timeless gift
Specifically, pearls have been gifted throughout the ages as a romantic way to show appreciation to a partner , as well as a worthy and luxurious gift for a sister, friend, or mother. The type of gift also shines with years of symbolism. While a pearl bracelet can symbolize a close relationship – such as a mother, sister, or good friend – earrings or a ring itself can have more romantic overtones as can the giving of a diamond ring.
An anniversary is simply one of the best times to give pearls as a gift . Anniversaries are romantic occasions, they are all about showing your appreciation, love and affection to that special person in your life and signifying how much you would miss them if they weren't around. You can say it all with a thoughtful ring or pair of earrings or add a contemporary twist with an elegant bracelet or pendant to wear together that weekend in Paris.
Officially the world's oldest traded gem, pearls have been used as a declaration of affection, love and romance since long before written history.
For this particular reason, they have been used as a form of decoration for thousands of years thanks to pearl jewelry being found all over the world, from ancient Rome and Greece in Europe to ancient Persia, China and Japan in the East. Pearls historically used as jewelry are found in museums around the world, from the Louvre in Paris and beyond.
A brief history of pearls
In the 20th Century, pearls transitioned from being an adornment of royalty to becoming a fashion trend for the masses , popularized by Coco Chanel in the 1920s and Jackie Kennedy in the 1950s and 1960s. It was this popularization of pearls that made them a staple fashion item, bringing pearls into the realm of casual wear perfect for everyday wear. From then on, pearls were no longer considered exclusive to high-class events, but could be worn at any time while retaining their glamour and association with luxury and sophistication.
Elegance and Luxury
It seems that from the beginning, pearls have been associated with elegance, luxury and the choice of a sophisticated buyer who knows what she wants.
Pearl necklaces have long been praised for the simplicity of their beauty and their designs continue to be an inspiration for their simple yet flawless splendor.
Our Ariel necklace is just one example of how modestly elegant pearls can be. No matter the occasion or the gift recipient, you can rest assured that pearls make a bold statement on their own, backed by thousands of years of history and elegance.
