You choose a wedding anniversary ring after years together, when an engagement ring and a wedding band are already on your hand. We make it in our own workshop and show it in our boutiques at Mokotowska 71 in Warsaw and Szczepańska 9 in Kraków.
How does a wedding anniversary ring differ from an engagement ring?
An anniversary ring replaces neither the engagement ring nor the wedding band. It joins them as a third ring, and we make it in one of three forms: a second diamond band, a colored stone or a single diamond.
Bracelets, necklaces and earrings are covered in our article on jewelry for a wedding anniversary.
Choose the ring together or prepare it as a surprise; both boutiques welcome you without an appointment.
A second diamond band: how does it look next to the first?
A second band is a row of small natural diamonds right beside the first, in a setting we make in our workshop. Our wedding band collection holds 32 models.
Bridal N°1 (7 500 PLN) has 16 diamonds of 1.5 x 1.5 mm, D color (the highest grade) and VVS1 clarity (inclusions hard to see even under magnification), 0.24 CT in total, in yellow gold; in white gold it is N°4. Bridal N°2 (8 500 PLN) is 2 mm wide with 11 diamonds of 2 x 2 mm, 0.33 CT, and Bridal N°3 (10 500 PLN) totals 0.6 CT. In white gold they are N°5 and N°6.
Soulmate N°2 (6 150 PLN) is 3 mm wide, with 1.5 x 1.5 mm diamonds totaling 0.13 CT; in white gold it is N°11. We compare these bands with a plain one in our article on a diamond or a plain wedding band; in the boutique you can judge both side by side.
Sapphire, ruby, tanzanite or tourmaline: how do you choose a stone to wear for years?
You choose the color, and we match it with a natural stone we source and set ourselves: a sapphire, ruby, tanzanite or tourmaline from the Your Way and B.ONE lines. The setting draws out its brilliance, and our lifetime service looks after the ring for years.
The Your Way line has 9 rings from 2 450 PLN to 13 500 PLN: a green sapphire in a square princess cut (N°2), a 0.28 CT blue sapphire (N°5 and N°6), a 0.30 CT tanzanite with diamonds (N°8, 4 150 PLN) and a pink tourmaline from Nigeria (N°9).
In the B.ONE line the stone can be larger: a 0.7 CT AAA-grade ruby from Burma (B One N°43, 11 500 PLN) or a 0.7 CT tanzanite (B One N°44, 7 950 PLN). Our articles on the sapphire ring, the tanzanite ring and ruby jewelry cover the choice; color is best judged on the hand, in the boutique.
One larger diamond or several smaller ones?
It is a choice between a single diamond in a Promise ring, from 0.035 CT to 1.00 CT, and a row of small diamonds in a Bridal band. Both are natural diamonds of D to E color: VVS1 clarity in the Bridal bands, VVS1 to VS1 in the Promise rings, as stated for each model.
Diamond rings span 60 models from 2 250 PLN to 85 000 PLN. The Promise line, 40 models from 3 750 PLN, sets a single diamond in yellow or white gold, 585 or 750. Among them, N°36 (4 650 PLN) holds a 0.10 CT diamond, N°38 (7 450 PLN) 0.20 CT, N°18 and N°1 (10 950 PLN) 0.30 CT, and N°22 and N°5 (70 500 PLN) 1.00 CT with a GIA certificate.
Your Way N°7 (13 500 PLN) combines the two: a 0.40 CT diamond with side stones. All three are best compared at a fitting in the boutique.
What size should the ring be when it joins a wedding band?
We measure the size in the boutique, because fingers change over the years. The first resizing is free; its extent depends on the model, for instance on whether stones run all around the band.
Women's bands come in sizes 4-9, men's in 12-17. For a surprise, mention when you first contact us that the visit should be confidential. The size can then be settled with our Find the perfect size instructions and our article on how to adjust your ring size.
From then on, the ring is in our care: our free lifetime service, only for BELLER jewelry, covers condition checks, resizing and polishing that restores the shine. Some one-of-a-kind designs have limits, in which case we advise individually. Try the new ring beside your band in either boutique.
What can we engrave on an anniversary ring?
On an anniversary ring we engrave a date, initials or a single word that means something only to the two of you, free with the purchase of your jewelry. The inscription length is agreed for each model.
We can also repeat the inscription from your wedding bands. Our article on jewelry engraving covers the details.
If the words come after the anniversary, we engrave them later and quote the work individually. The wording is easiest to settle in the boutique, with the ring in your hand.
Can gold from years ago become a new ring?
Yes. Gold you entrust to us can be exchanged for a finished model from our collections or melted down in our workshop into pure metal for a new ring, under our jewelry recycling program.
A ring from melted-down gold is made as Your Way custom jewelry: after a meeting, a design and a visualization, we craft it in 14K (585) or 18K (750) gold, in the color and with the stones you choose. Personalized Your Way jewelry cannot be returned. Our article on custom gold jewelry describes the process, best begun with a conversation in the boutique.
How much does a wedding anniversary ring cost at BELLER?
The price of a wedding anniversary ring depends on the line: Your Way runs from 2 450 PLN to 13 500 PLN, B.ONE from 4 650 PLN to 38 500 PLN, Promise from 3 750 PLN to 85 000 PLN, and wedding bands, Bridal included, from 1 950 PLN to 10 500 PLN. The B.ONE range opens with N°46 and its multicolored sapphires.
585 and 750 gold differ in character: 585 is gold for every day, 750 for special occasions. We work in white, yellow and rose gold, always solid, never hollow.
Every piece comes with a uniquely numbered certificate, and diamond rings above 0.3 ct also with a GIA certificate, as our certification page explains. You can pay in installments and narrow the range at a fitting in the boutique.
What are the most common questions about a wedding anniversary ring?
Do you need to know the size before the visit?
No, we measure it in the boutique. Measuring instructions can also be downloaded from the Find the perfect size page, and the first resizing is free.
Can a couple choose an anniversary ring together?
Yes. In that case we settle the size, gold color and stone right away. For a surprise, mention when you first contact us that the visit should be confidential. If you prefer to choose from a distance, we show the models in photos and video, by phone or online.
How long does it take to make a ring in another gold color?
Typically 3-5 business days, never longer than 7 business days from order confirmation. Tell us the anniversary date right away and we will adjust the pace.
Are the stones in BELLER rings natural?
Yes, all of them. Our diamonds are D to E in color, with clarity from VVS1 to VS1 stated for each model, and diamond rings above 0.3 ct also carry a GIA certificate. We do not work with lab-grown diamonds.
