Diamond Anniversary Rings - Silver, Gold, Or Diamond

Are you a traditional type of person? Do you like to stick to the norm and how things have been for as long as you can remember? I don't know many people who have really stuck to being a stubborn traditionalist; however there are always those movies that we have seen where there is a conflict between sticking to tradition and flowing with the modern trend.

I for one think that there should be a balance between all of these things. It is hard to stay that we should just allow ourselves to forget about traditions and go with the flow, because in a sense we can end up missing out on some great values that tradition has taught us. On the other hand, it wouldn't be too wise to be so stubborn on sticking with tradition, that we miss out on the new things we can enjoy in life and see how it takes us.

Wedding anniversaries are definitely one of the "traditions" that have been celebrated for many years. I for one think this is a beautiful celebration because of how it celebrates the continuous love between a man and woman. We all need to see that marriages do work and there are happy endings, because it gives us all a sense of hope.

Now if you are married couple who is strict on sticking with traditions and have been married for only 59 years or less; then sorry to say but diamond anniversary rings cannot be on your list of gifts to your wife or husband. In strict traditional sense, only those who have been married for 60 years are the ones who are celebrating their diamond anniversary.

The three common marks for the tradition in wedding anniversaries would be the 25th year which is the Silver Anniversary, the 50th year which is the gold (Golden) anniversary, and of course the 60th year which is the Diamond Anniversary. So as you can see, if you stick with tradition on this part, it either has to be silver, gold, or diamond; and that will largely depend on the years you've been married.

However, I think it is safe to say; that when it comes to the giving of gifts for anniversaries, especially in our modern culture today; we do not stick to tradition. I don't think any woman would want to wait until they've been married for 60 years just to get a diamond. So this is great news! There is still the balance of tradition and modern culture; because we celebrate the anniversary, yet we can still give diamond anniversary rings to our loved one in whichever year or whatever style you may choose. Enjoy the celebration!
