25th Anniversary Gifts for Your Wife: The Silver Jubilee

The short answer

Silver is the traditional 25th anniversary gift, which is why the 25th is called the Silver Jubilee. We do not sell silver; our answer is the bright white of platinum and white gold, set with diamonds that will outlast it. Below are 12 white-metal pieces in four budgets for twenty-five years.

Our answerPlatinum and white goldNaturally white, and harder-wearing

There is no single authoritative anniversary list, but both lists agree on silver for the 25th.

Why platinum or white gold for a silver anniversary

Silver tarnishes and wears quickly in fine jewelry. Platinum is naturally white, dense and holds diamonds securely for decades; 14K white gold gives the same look at a lower price. Both read as silver at a glance, which keeps the tradition, and both are worth handing down.

25th anniversary gifts: questions

What is the traditional 25th anniversary gift?

Silver. Both the traditional US list and the gemstone list GIA publishes give silver for the 25th, the Silver Jubilee.

Is platinum a good silver anniversary gift?

Yes. Platinum looks like polished silver but is naturally white, does not tarnish and holds stones securely, so it keeps the tradition in a metal that lasts.

Do you sell silver jewelry?

No. We make fine jewelry in solid gold and platinum only. For a silver anniversary, platinum or 14K white gold gives the silver look.

What is a good 25th anniversary gift for my wife?

A diamond necklace or studs in platinum or white gold, or an anniversary band if you know her ring size.

Can a 25th anniversary gift be returned?

Necklaces, earrings and bracelets can be returned within 30 days of delivery, unworn and in original condition. Rings and engraved pieces are final sale.

Methodology & sources

How we chose. Our jewelers shortlisted pieces from the live catalog, then a panel of four reviewers (a merchandiser, a gemologist, a search specialist and our creative director) chose the most appropriate pieces at four budgets. Every pick was checked as active and available to order on the date below; prices on this page update live from each product. Every stone is labeled lab-grown or natural, as it is on the product page. Nobody paid to be included.
