Let’s call this her “bling factor”—the amount of glamour and sparkle she feels comfortable with wearing. There’s no right answer—stunning anniversary pieces are available at every Bling Factor level. No matter your wife’s taste, you can buy her a piece of jewelry for your anniversary that she will love and cherish for years to come.

Whiteflash By The Yard is a unique Whiteflash design which intersperses a simple gold chain with small diamonds in bezel settings. Whether you wear it long and dramatic, or double it for a practical but chic look, this necklace is trendy and easy to wear.

A little more interesting than diamond studs and a little less extreme than diamond hoops, “huggie” hoops wrap around the ear, adding the perfect amount of flash and sparkle without weighing your ear down. They are available in many styles, but this white gold and pavé diamond pair are perfect for an anniversary—they are classic and timeless.

A bit of old Hollywood glamour and feminine sparkle, the tennis bracelet is the perfect finishing touch to an outfit, It isn’t difficult to wear, but it is important to ensure that the bracelet fits properly, with only enough room for one finger to slip between the bracelet and the wrist. A tennis bracelet is perfect for the woman who isn’t afraid to shine, but wants to do it in a subtle and classy way.

A bold choice, perfect for a bold woman, a cocktail-style ring with a hefty colored gemstone makes a great anniversary gift, as it will remind her of the first diamond you ever gave her. Rubies and sapphires make great choices, because of their hardness and durability, although other interesting stones are also available. A gold setting and diamond pavé stones elevate the ring and turn it into a one-of-a-kind treasure.
