A Bespoke 40th Anniversary Ruby Ring – A Story of Love & Legacy
A Bespoke 40th Anniversary Ruby Ring – A Story of Love & Legacy
A 40-year wedding anniversary is a remarkable milestone and a testament to enduring love, commitment, and shared history. In the jewellery world, this anniversary is symbolised by rubies, a gemstone long associated with passion, protection, and deep devotion.
At the end of 2024, I had the privilege of crafting a truly special bespoke ruby ring to commemorate this milestone. Commissioned by my uncle as a gift for his wife, this ring was not just a piece of jewellery, it was a deeply personal celebration of their journey together. The design process was emotional and meaningful, as I worked closely with him to create something that would encapsulate four decades of love and the family they built together.

The Inspiration Behind the Design
This custom anniversary ring was crafted in 18ct rose gold, an alloy of gold that enhanced the warm, rich tones of the rubies while offering a romantic and timeless aesthetic. The ring featured a stunning arrangement of Burmese rubies, carefully selected to represent each member of their family, my uncle, his wife, and their two sons. The placement of the stones was intentional, ensuring that their story was woven into the very essence of the ring.
Rubies, known for their strength and resilience so it felt felt like the perfect gemstone to celebrate a marriage that has stood the test of time. Burmese rubies, in particular, are some of the finest in the world, cherished for their vivid red hue and exceptional quality.
A Meaningful & Personalised Anniversary Gift
When it comes to celebrating milestone anniversaries, many couples look for something beyond traditional gifts. Bespoke anniversary rings allow for complete customisation, ensuring the piece is not only beautiful but also rich with sentimental value. This ruby ring tells a story, of love, family, and commitment, making it far more meaningful than any off-the-shelf piece could ever be.
