My wife and I are about to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and I would love to buy her jewelry. What could be an appropriate anniversary gift?

You should get your wife something to symbolize your eternal love. There is some jewelry which does exactly that. You can get an "eternity ring" which typically has diamonds around the whole circumference of the ring or you could get her an eternity necklace which is a similar concept, only the pendant is circular with diamonds around the outside of the shape.

In my opinion, jewelry is always an intimate and welcome gift. To be more specific, since it is your anniversary, you might consider buying her a diamond encrusted eternity ring, also called an anniversary ring. Eternity rings signify everlasting, eternal devotion to your loved-one. Eternity rings are set with diamonds which go all the way around the band. Thus, eternity rings are usually set with smaller gemstones, otherwise they can be clumsy to wear.

Consider buying her a ruby ring, since ruby is supposed to be the stone for a 40th wedding anniversary. A ruby pendant might be a nice gift too, but for a 40th, an anniversary ring seems more appropriate. It's just a bit more special.

40 years! Wow! Well, diamond jewelery is always a perfect present for big anniversiaries. You might want to consider buying her either a three-stone diamond ring or a journey diamond ring. Both of these anniversary rings wonderful ways of celebrating your past, present and future. The three stone diamond ring can either be a ring with three diamonds, or a ring with one diamonds and two other precious gemstones. The three stones are supposed to represent, past, present, and future- the time you have spent together, and how devoted you still are to one another. These are not only beautiful pieces of jewelry that really show your commitment and love for your wife, but they are also wonderfully symbolic! If the three-stone rings aren't really your wife's taste, then a diamond journey ring is also a fantastic piece of jewelry to buy for an anniversary. A diamond journey ring usually features a row of diamonds that get larger and larger. They give you a bit more options regarding diamond size, and more options regarding style as well. The idea behind a diamond journey ring is that the progressive increase in size of the diamonds represents the development of your relationship on the path you have already traveled and will continue to travel together.
