For a 1st Anniversary gift, it’s traditional to give a gift of Peridot jewelry, as its green hue points to the fact that the relationship is still in its raw stages and requires careful cultivation to build the momentum. As the new couple oozes with vitality and passion, they can’t contain their excitement knowing that the best is yet to come. Peridots are also a customary gift for a 16th Anniversary, as the stone is believed to help one see the positive when looking back to the previous 15 years of success.
