The Anniversary Ring: The Perfect Way to Show Your Love

A diamond ring isn't just reserved for before the marriage. A modern way to show your wife that you still love her is with an anniversary ring. As you might have guessed, this ring is a diamond ring to give your wife a bit of added sparkle on her finger. Don't wait sixty long years until your diamond anniversary to present your wife with another well-deserved diamond ring. Here are the best pieces of advice to rely on when considering anniversary rings.

Why Buy an Anniversary Ring? Some men just didn't have the opportunity to buy their wives that special engagement ring. If you were lucky enough to do so, congratulations! If not, maybe you were strapped for cash at the time. But hopefully you have more money at your disposal now that you have been married for a few years. And since this anniversary ring is a surprise-she won't see it coming. Now is the perfect time of year to carefully consider Black Friday sales (the day after Thanksgiving) and Christmas deals. You have time on your side here, so use it wisely.

Which Ring Should You Choose? Engagement rings and anniversary rings aren't the same. Anniversary rings are an opportunity to think beyond rings that contain just one diamond. Anniversary bands usually have multiple diamonds-even up to nine. For more of an impact, it's a good rule of thumb to go with larger diamonds instead of smaller ones.

But the exception to this rule is the eternity band. The eternity band is a ring completely encircled by diamonds. Talk about an impact! Eternity bands merit a huge reaction from your wife because of how beautiful they are. Once she sees a diamond gleaming from every angle, she will sure to be thankful.

Added Flexibility. Buying her an anniversary band lets you take a few more risks. Chances are, before you popped the question she might have let you know what kind of rings she enjoyed. And as far as your wedding bands are concerned, maybe she was the decider when it came to the design. Since an anniversary band is an unexpected gift, it lets you think about her personality and match it with that perfect ring. The perfect anniversary band is really about speaking to your true feelings of love.

Also, remember that an anniversary ring absolutely does not need to coordinate with her existing engagement or wedding rings. Where she actually wears the ring is flexible, too. She can wear it on any finger of her choice, for example, on her right hand. The only rule in buying an anniversary ring is to show her how much you care!

A beautiful anniversary ring is a great way to show your continued commitment to your wife.
