Why Gold Remains the Traditional First Year Gift
The tradition of gold for first anniversaries dates back to 19th century England, where couples exchanged gold-plated gifts to represent the initial glow of married life. Gold scores 2.5-3 on the Mohs hardness scale in its pure form, though alloyed gold used in jewelry reaches higher durability ratings. This softness made it a symbol of the tender early years of marriage, still forming and strengthening over time. Our sterling silver settings provide a practical foundation for gold-toned stones and accents. Silver offers greater durability at 2.5-3 Mohs while maintaining the precious metal aesthetic appropriate for anniversary gifts. Many couples now choose alternative gemstones for their first year, including freshwater pearls or colored stones that hold personal meaning. SilverRush Style has supplied anniversary jewelry since 2005. Every pair of earrings in this collection uses .925 sterling silver and natural stones with documented origins. Consider earring styles that match her existing jewelry or introduce a new stone she can collect in future anniversary pieces.Frequently Asked Questions
