47 Thoughtful Pearl Anniversary Gift Ideas, from Pearl Necklaces to Picture Frames

Pearl Anniversary Gift Ideas

'A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year.' - Paul Sweeney

If you’re looking for a pearl anniversary gift, this guide is for you. Below we’ll go over 47 gift ideas for your husband, wife, or parents. We’ll start with the classic 30th anniversary gift ⁠— pearls ⁠— and move on to other categories.

In this article:

The 30th Anniversary is the Pearl Anniversary

The pearl is an organic gemstone, and the only precious gem that begins life as a tiny speck, becoming stronger and more beautiful as the years go by.

Pearls as an Anniversary gift symbolize Love, Patience, Loyalty and Integrity.

Beyond the pearl gift itself elements such as color, the number of gems or a play on words can make this anniversary gift absolutely unforgettable.

Pearl Anniversary Gifts for Her

Up first, we’ll review the classic 30th anniversary gift: pearls.

Before you buy pearls, you should know the pearl industry doesn’t have straightforward quality standards like you’d find for diamonds or other gems. Most companies use an A-AAAA grading scale and price accordingly, but one company’s “A” grade might be equivalent to another brand's AAA.

This makes it hard to compare pearls across multiple brands. For example, you may see an AAA necklace selling for $1000 in one store and an A+ necklace selling for the same price somewhere else. The first option might seem like a better buy, but really it’s impossible to tell. You need more information than just a letter grade and a price.

The best place to start is learning how pearls are graded and how much they should cost. Even ten to fifteen minutes of research will save you time, confusion, and money in the long run. Plus, it’ll help you make sure you’re getting the best deal.

In the meantime, feel free to browse the suggestions below for inspiration. All the pearl pieces below are high quality and worth a look.

Pearl Necklace

One of THE most classic pearl anniversary gifts you can give your wife or loved one on your pearl wedding anniversary is a gorgeous string of pearls.

The most classic option are white pearls, which can be found in Freshwater, Akoya, or South Sea varieties:

Freshwater Pearl Necklace

Freshwater pearls are beautiful, durable and affordable, making them versatile and perfect for everyday wear. Freshwater pearls are often white, but come in other colors, such as pink and lavender:

Akoya Pearl Necklace

Akoyas are THE pearl most people think of when they picture a radiant string of white gems. Akoyas are harder to produce than freshwater pearls and have higher luster and overall quality, and so they’re a bit more expensive.

Note: You may see some Akoyas referred to as “Hanadama pearls” or “Hanadama quality.” Hanadama is simply a name for Akoyas that are top 0.1% quality and certified by the Pearl Science Laboratory in Tokyo, Japan.

South Sea Pearl Necklace

South Sea pearls are often called the “Queen of Pearls” because they’re some of the most stunning pearls you’ll find anywhere.They’re harder to find or create than other pearls, and typically much larger, so they’re an order of magnitude more expensive.

But for momentous occasions like a 30th anniversary or a once-in-a-lifetime present, nothing can compare to South Sea pearls (especially for pearl lovers):

Notice that the smallest set of South Sea pearls is 9.0mm in diameter, compared to Freshwater and Akoyas that commonly go as low as 6.0mm.

Tahitian Pearl Necklace

Tahitian pearls are known for their deep, vibrant colors, ranging from deep blacks to purple and teal-tinted.

Tahitians can range in price from the Akoya ballpark all the way up to South Sea tier, and are popular with pearl enthusiasts and women who want a truly unique accessory.

Pearl pendants are a great gift choice if your significant other prefers a simple, elegant style. Pendants are also a great way to try unique pearls like Golden South Sea pearls without committing to a multi-thousand-dollar investment.

Pearl Bracelets

If your wife or girlfriend already has one or more pearl necklaces, a bracelet could be the perfect addition to their collection. Pearl bracelets are special because even the wearer sees them constantly (unlike necklaces or earrings that can only be seen in a mirror), so it’s a frequent reminder of your love and relationship.

Pearl earrings are arguably as versatile as an understated necklace or pendant, working as a standalone accessory or working with a necklace and/or bracelet as part of a larger set.

Pearl Anniversary Gifts for Him

While it’s traditional for women to receive pearls for their 30th anniversary, that’s not the case for men.

You can find a mother of pearl watch or pearl cufflinks for your man if you’d like to stick to the theme, but it’s not necessary. If you’d like to explore pearls as a gift, we’d recommend starting with Tahitian pearls.

Tahitian Pearls

Tahitian pearls are a great gift for men because deep blacks and greens work are often seen as a bit more masculine. Of course, white south sea or other pearls are an option as well, but if you’re on the fence, we recommend you choose Tahitian.

A Watch

A watch is a classic gift that works with any man’s style and is an excellent pick for a big anniversary. A watch will always be with your significant other, reminding him of you and the time you’ve spent together.

If you’d like an upscale option, a Hamilton or IWC model will please even the most high-end watch enthusiast:

For a more moderately priced timepiece, check out Seiko. They make quality watches for any budget. For a casual option, try the classic Seiko 5, or for a more formal look try the Presage “Cocktail Time” line.

30 Year Scotch

Scotch gets better over time, with the best bottles being aged for a decade or more. A 30-year scotch is a high-end and full of complex flavor ⁠— the perfect drink for mulling over 30 years of laughter, love and memories.

Pearl Anniversary Gifts for Parents

Some of the best anniversary gifts don’t involve spending extravagant amounts of money. Instead, they remind the recipient about fond memories and act as regular reminders of a special event.

That’s what this list of anniversary gift ideas for your parents is all about. You’ll find suggestions ranging from $12 up to more than $250, all with an extra dose of thoughtfulness.

Most of these gifts can also supplement the gifts mentioned earlier in this article if you’d like to gift something sentimental and a bit more expensive. Feel free to mix and match.

Custom Picture Frame

Here’s two ways to transform a simple picture frame into an extra meaningful gift:

  1. Make sure the frame is customized for the event (in this case, an anniversary).
  2. Second, if you have pictures, add them ahead of time

Together these take a simple picture frame and turn it into a thoughtful anniversary gift that’s a joy to receive.

Plates & Housewares

Plates, dishes, and other housewares are a great anniversary gift if your parents or loved ones lean more practical. With one of these gifts, your parents will be reminded of your gift every time they open a cabinet or new bottle of wine.

Cake Cutting Set

Cake cutting sets are the perfect gift for a 30th wedding anniversary party. You can use the set during the party to make the event more special, then have it act as a reminder of the even afterwards when displayed in a china cabinet or in the kitchen.

Wine Decanter or Carafe

If your parents love wine, you can’t go wrong with a decanter. You could spring for a full set if your parents need wine glasses, or get a high-end Waterford crystal piece to upgrade their existing collection.

Other Dishes

If a cake-cutting or wine-themed set is too niche, try more commonly used dishes such as mugs or a pearl-themed bowl set.
