This means your anniversary ring can feature any color you like, or a range of colors, such as a rainbow or ombre pattern.

About 5 Year Anniversary Gift
Sapphires and rubies are both corundum, with tiny trace amounts of different elements creating the array of colors. They come from all over the world, though many of the best sapphires come from Asia.
5 Year Anniversary Ring Designs
Perhaps the most famous contemporary sapphire ring is Princess Diana’s engagement ring, which Prince William then used to propose to Kate Middleton. However, this is only part of a long history of sapphire rings as love gifts, both as engagement rings and fifth anniversary rings.
-
Kashmir Sapphires - Some of the clearest and richest blue sapphires come from Kashmir and these are often called Kashmir blues.
-
Treatment - Most sapphires are treated to intensify the colors. Untreated sapphires are rarer and more expensive.
-
Vintage Rings - Because sapphires have been popular in different jewelry eras, particularly for Art Deco and Edwardian engagement rings, it is easy to find vintage or antique engagement rings featuring sapphires.
-
Durability - Sapphires are a durable gemstone, and in fact sapphires are the hardest natural gem other than diamond. This makes sapphires very resistant to chips and cracks, so they can easily be worn every day without fear of excessive wear or damage, or without needing to remove the ring for most daily activities.
