Welcome to Bambuddhas anniversary gemstone reference page. Every anniversary is worth commemorating with an enduring token of love and affection. Use this guide to locate the traditional gemstone or precious metal for each major anniversary.

Please keep in mind that beyond inherent beauty and material worth, gemstones have been valued for their healing properties and other uses such as attaining and increasing wisdom, strength, wealth, and happiness.

Below is the accepted list of suggested gemstone gifts of the Jewelers of America, the American Gem Trade Association, the American Gem Society and the Gemological Institute of America.
