I went to a party the other night where everyone has a creative business. It was one of the best parties I’ve ever been to. I’d tagged along with a friend and only new her and her family there but everyone had already heard of me as ‘Julie’s jewelry friend from the city’.

It was a great experience coming in on equal terms with everyone at a party that was a night full of good conversation, really yummy food, good wine and great entertainment. Within the circle of friends there’s a choir that meets every Wednesday afternoon and musicians who brought their instruments who all had time and space to perform.

At one point I stopped and looked around in amazement at these normal looking people all with creative lives and open, welcoming hearts. It isn’t so often that I find myself in such company and it inspired me with my work – making a new gemstone jewelry range of more playful designs.

I want more of such gatherings in my life. You don’t miss what you don’t have but now I’ve tasted what it’s like and seen what’s possible I’m going to make it more common in my life.

The modern list of wedding anniversary gem stones is:
10th Diamond
12th Pearls and colored gems
30th Diamond
33rd Amethyst
34th Opal
35th Jade
38th Neryl or Tourmaline
40th Ruby
45th Sapphire
55th Emerald
60th Diamond

The traditional list of wedding anniversary gemstones is:
30th Pearl
35th Coral or Jade
40th Ruby
45th Sapphire
55th Emerald
60th Diamond
75th Diamond (again)

Emily Post designed the traditional wedding anniversary gemstone list in 1927 and revised in 1957.

The modern anniversary gemstone list was developed recently by the jewellers association.

How the gemstones are given is up to the couple - as a stone alone is unusal as most people give the gemstones set in a jewelry design - gemstone earrings, necklaces and pendants, bracelets, rings; even as different combination sets. Whatever suits the individual style of the recipient is what matters most.

You can also give variations in the colors of the gemstones such as white diamonds and the rare pink diamonds. Sapphires are usually blue but there are stunning pink sapphires for something different.

All the best and happy anniversary!

The name comes from the seawater color of the gemstone and today it is the lighter bluer that is popular.

The healing crystal properties for aquamarine are for courage, reducing stress, helping with communication both in mediation and physical communicating as well as calming the mind and clarifying thoughts and perceptions.
