It's our 20th anniversary, and I figure, 5 stones can be representative of 20 years, no? I mean, it's like 100/5. Right?

Actually, as strange as this may sound, some people would argue that getting your wife a five diamond ring as an anniversary gift is not the best idea. That is due to the fact that a lot of people think that getting your wife a ring which could overshadow her solitaire diamond engagement ring could be a big mistake. There is no doubt that the engagement ring needs to take most pride on your wife's fingers, and therefore if she would wear a five stone diamond ring next to it, the engagement ring will look petty when compared to it. Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't get your wife any diamond jewelry for the rest of your life, but what I am saying is that maybe it's best not to invest in diamond rings. Instead, you could get your wife a beautiful pair of diamond earrings, a diamond bracelet or maybe even a diamond studded necklace. Either way, these anniversary gift alternatives will not deter from the significance and dignity of your wife's engagement ring in any way. You should carefully consider this point before going ahead and making the five diamond anniversary ring purchase.

I think you can get your wife a 5 stone diamond ring whenever! I can't imagine that she'd feel unhappy about getting a diamond ring ever, and in my opinion it is a beautiful gift. You can always explain to her that each year you spend with her goes by so fast, it feels as if you are still young and have only been married 5 years. Or you can tell her that each year with her is so rich, it is as if every year has four full years within it. Or, you can tell her that you saw the diamond ring, and you thought it was so beautiful, that you had to get it for her, no matter whether or not the five diamonds on the diamond ring mean something specific. I would say generally, 5 stone diamond rings are reserved for a five year anniversary or a 50 year anniversary, because the number works the best, but there are no rules when it comes to anniversary gifts. Only that the gift be beautiful, classic, elegant, and within the specific taste spectrum of your significant other. Plus, the most popular diamond anniversary rings are usually three stone or five stone rings. Otherwise, eternity bands (which have diamonds going all the way around the ring) or diamond and gemstone channel set rings (with stones that also go all the way around the band) are also popular. To cut a long story short, I say, don't worry about it too much. If it is a high quality, good looking, gold or platinum 5 stone diamond ring, there's no way she'll even let you return it. She'll keep it and cherish it forever. Now all you have to do is figure out how you're going to present it to her. Candlelight dinner? A night out at the theater?
