Birthdays to Celebrate Differently: Round Milestones

Certain birthdays call for special attention — 18, 30, 40, 50, and 60 years old mark symbolic passages that many wish to highlight with a more significant piece of jewelry than in other years. For these round milestones, opt for a rarer stone or a more elaborate piece — a sultanite or a marcasite rather than a more common stone — so that the gift visually emphasizes the importance of the occasion. Engraving the year or a date on the setting, when possible, further reinforces the unique and non-renewable nature of the gift.
