5 Year Anniversary Gifts

The traditional 5 year anniversary symbol is wood, reflecting strength, growth and deep-rooted connection. You can also carry this meaning into fine jewellery through symbolic designs. While wooden gifts remain a symbolic option, jewellery inspired by natural forms or textures brings a lasting and elevated interpretation of the tradition.

Explore pieces that reference nature and family, such as a Tree of Life necklace, or choose minimum 10kt gold pieces and 925 sterling silver jewellery with organic textures and flowing shapes. For a more modern expression, an infinity necklace makes a beautiful 5th anniversary gift, representing your ever-growing bond.

A thoughtful 5th year anniversary gift blends personal significance with timeless style. Consider what they wear most often. Do they favour gold or silver tones? Statement pieces or something more minimalist? Everyday wear or something for special occasions? Let these preferences guide your choice. Look beyond tradition and select a piece that reflects their personality and your shared story.

For her, consider personalised jewellery, a pair of diamond earrings, or a design featuring her birthstone. For a 5 year anniversary gift for him, choose a leather-strap watch, signet ring or curb chain necklace for pieces that feel both wearable and meaningful.

Or, build a bespoke piece from our Pendant Bar Collection. Choose from a range of fine chains, connectors and pendants to create a necklace or bracelet unique to them.

Choosing a 5 year anniversary gift starts with what this moment means to you. Do you want to honour tradition or reflect the future you're building together?

Nature-themed designs nod to the traditional symbolism of wood. For a more contemporary approach, a diamond eternity band, layered necklace or gemstone bracelet adds colour and lasting impact. Match her necklace to a pair of earrings for a complete set, or stackable rings to reflect growth and connection. Add sentiment with engraving or choose a pendant featuring initials, star signs or meaningful symbols to make your gift truly personal.
