Anniversary rings are among the most meaningful gifts in fine jewellery. Given to mark the passage of time shared between two people, an anniversary ring carries a weight of sentiment that is entirely its own — distinct from the promise of an engagement ring and the ceremony of a wedding band, yet equal to both in the depth of what it represents. At DG & CO, our anniversary rings are crafted in 18-carat gold with ethically sourced, GIA-certified diamonds and gemstones, giving every milestone the quality and beauty it deserves.
What makes an anniversary ring so compelling as a piece of jewellery is the freedom it carries. Unlike an engagement ring, there is no single established form it must take. It can be a diamond eternity band that circles the finger in unbroken brilliance, a three-stone ring whose stones represent the past, present, and future of a relationship, or a coloured gemstone piece that speaks to something specific about the couple it celebrates. This openness allows the ring to be as individual as the relationship it honours.
At DG & CO, we approach anniversary rings with the same care and precision we bring to our full engagement and wedding collections. Every piece is designed to be worn alongside existing jewellery, to stack beautifully with a wedding band, or to stand alone as a singular statement of enduring love. Whatever the milestone, we believe it deserves to be marked with something genuinely exceptional.
The eternity band — a ring set with diamonds or gemstones around its full circumference — is one of the most popular anniversary ring styles, and its symbolism is immediately apparent. A continuous circle of stones with no beginning and no end speaks directly to the nature of a commitment that has only grown stronger with time. The half-eternity band places stones across the top half of the shank only, offering a more comfortable fit and greater flexibility for resizing while retaining the same essential visual impact. Both styles are available within our wedding bands collection, where craftsmanship and stone quality meet the highest standard.
For those who want their anniversary ring to tell a more specific story, a three-stone design offers one of the most resonant options in fine jewellery. The three stones representing past, present, and future make the trilogy format a natural choice for an anniversary gift, particularly for significant milestones such as a tenth or twenty-fifth year. Coloured gemstones bring an additional layer of personalisation — sapphires for loyalty, rubies for passion, and emeralds for growth all translate beautifully into anniversary ring designs. Explore our gemstone rings collection for a full range of coloured stone options crafted to the same fine jewellery standard.
An anniversary ring is unique among jewellery gifts in that its meaning deepens the longer it is worn. What begins as a celebration of one milestone becomes, over the years, a record of the relationship itself — a beautiful object that accumulates significance with every anniversary that follows. Choosing a ring crafted in 18-carat gold with quality diamonds or gemstones ensures the physical piece endures as completely as the sentiment it carries.
One of the most practical considerations when choosing an anniversary ring is how it will sit alongside the rings already on the hand. At DG & CO, our anniversary rings are designed with this in mind — with profiles, widths, and setting heights that complement rather than compete with engagement rings and wedding bands. Whether you are adding to an existing stack or creating one for the first time, our team can guide you toward a combination that works beautifully together. Our three stone engagement rings and side stone engagement rings offer further inspiration for building a ring stack with genuine coherence.
Anniversary rings set with diamonds around the full band — true eternity rings — cannot be resized in the traditional sense, as the stone setting runs continuously around the shank. Confirming ring size carefully before purchasing is therefore particularly important for this style. If you are buying the ring as a surprise, our guide on how to measure ring size offers practical advice for getting an accurate measurement discreetly. Half-eternity and three-stone anniversary rings are generally more straightforward to resize if needed, making them a practical choice when the recipient's size is uncertain. For coloured gemstone anniversary rings, consider the hardness of the stone relative to how actively the ring will be worn — diamonds at Mohs 10 remain the most durable choice for daily wear, followed closely by sapphires and rubies at Mohs 9.

At DG & CO, anniversary rings are crafted with the understanding that the milestones they mark are irreplaceable. Based in Melbourne and serving clients across the world, our team brings together ethically sourced diamonds, vibrant gemstones, and 18-carat gold to create rings that honour the significance of every year shared. We believe that a ring given in celebration of lasting love deserves to be made with the same intention and care that love itself demands — and every piece we create reflects that belief entirely.
The most traditional anniversary ring is an eternity or half-eternity band set with diamonds, symbolising a love that continues without end. Three-stone rings are another deeply meaningful option, with each stone representing the past, present, and future of the relationship. Coloured gemstone rings offer a more personalised approach, particularly when the stone holds specific significance for the couple. At DG & CO, our gemstone rings and diamond collections offer a beautiful range of options for every anniversary milestone.
An anniversary ring is most commonly worn on the left hand ring finger, stacked alongside the engagement ring and wedding band already in place. Some people choose to wear it on the right hand ring finger to give each piece its own space and visual presence. There is no binding convention — the choice depends entirely on comfort, personal preference, and how the ring sits most beautifully alongside the other pieces already being worn. Our blog on how to wear wedding rings in order offers helpful guidance on stacking and wearing multiple rings together.
An anniversary ring is any ring given to mark a wedding anniversary or significant milestone within a long-term relationship. It differs from an engagement ring in that it carries no formal proposal attached to it, and from a wedding band in that it is given after the marriage rather than at the ceremony. Eternity bands, three-stone rings, and coloured gemstone designs are all widely considered anniversary ring styles. What truly defines an anniversary ring is not its form but the intention behind it — a celebration of time and love shared.
There is no strict rule, though certain milestones carry stronger traditions than others. The first anniversary, the fifth, the tenth, the twenty-fifth, and the fiftieth are among the most commonly celebrated with jewellery gifts. Many couples also mark personal milestones that hold specific significance to their own relationship rather than following a calendar. At DG & CO, we believe any anniversary worth celebrating is worth marking with something beautiful — and our collection offers ring styles suited to every milestone, large or small.
The three-month rule suggests spending approximately three months' salary on an engagement ring — a guideline that originated from diamond industry marketing campaigns in the mid-twentieth century rather than any genuine cultural or emotional tradition. It carries no binding weight and is widely considered an outdated measure. At DG & CO, we believe the right ring is one that feels meaningful, suits the recipient's personal style, and sits comfortably within your financial plans.
