First Anniversary Gift of Jewelry
Gold Jewelry Gift Ideas

G
old jewelry is another customary gift for the first wedding anniversary. Choices for your husband include items such as cufflinks, tie pins, bracelets, gold rings or an earring if his ears are pierced and he wears these accessories. Consider getting jewelry engraved so it is more personal. There are many options for jewelry, so be sure to choose something that reflects the styles your significant other prefers. A simple gold band makes a good choice for him, while she is more likely to fancy something more intricate, such as a thin gold band or necklace accentuated by a diamond or gemstone. Necklaces, bracelets and pendants are popular options; for her, consider a heart-shaped gold locket with a photograph of something special hidden inside.

First Anniversary Gift of Gemstones
Freshwater Pearl and Peridot Gift Ideas

P
earl and Peridot are the gemstones identified with the first wedding anniversary. Pearls are symbolic of purity and spirituality. In some cultures, pearls express the meaning of good luck and beauty. Peridot is considered to help understand relationships, strengthen life and grow prosperity. Whatever gift choice you make just be sure to choose something heartfelt and meaningful that will make your first anniversary as memorable as your wedding day.
The Peridot is often referred to as the "evening gemstone" because its color appears to enhance in the evening light. The Peridot has long been associated with spring and renewal.
Freshwater pearls are specifically associated with the first anniversary. The Pearl varies in a diverse range of natural colors from cream and gold to blue and black; it also has a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and luster's. The Pearl represents a timeless gift of love.
Although pearl and gemstone jewelry is more often worn by women, you may consider a watch or item such as a keepsake box or pen set with freshwater pearl or gemstone accents for your husband as an appropriate gift option.

First Anniversary Modern Gift Clock
The Gift of Time Modern Clock Gift Ideas

T
he clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.

To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one's health is more,
To lose one's soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.

The present only is our own,
So Live, Love, toil with a will --
Place no faith in 'Tomorrow' --
For the clock may then be still.
Robert H. Smith © 1932-1982
A clock signifies the passage of time. Just as the love we gaze upon each day the time passing on a clock represents timeless eternal love. A clock is the suggested modern anniversary gift selection for the 1st year of marriage.

- Very comprehensive list for the first year. Well done. As the first year is paper you could also write a love poem on some beautiful paper or make up a scrap book of your first year together.
