There you have it - now if an anniversary is approaching you know what is traditionally appropriate to buy (or make) your sweetheart :)
Now... if someone could give me hints on what to make for a man, that'll be awesome :)
I did not know that anniversaries had gemstones too, thank you for sharing this information.

Hehe, Therese - I believe there is a gemstone for every event in life,,, and if not, we should make one :)
DeleteGlad you found it useful.
Hmmm. It will be 44 years in September for us. After this many years, I would think a rock, preferably big, for his head would be appropriate.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Marlene - no way! I would go for a combination of Ruby and Sapphires, with more accent on Sapphires (since you're approaching the 45 :) ).
DeleteCongratulations - it's a beautiful thing to have so many anniversaries together! I hope we get to celebrate our 44th :)
