Purchasing jewelry and watches for ‘wedding anniversary’ gifts is becoming more prevalent in the U.S., according to a recent Internet survey.
In a study by the Jewelry Consumer Opinion Council, two-thirds of the 3,287 respondents would consider purchasing fine jewelry or a watch as a wedding anniversary gift. This is a 25 percent increase from those who said they had purchased fine jewelry or a watch as an anniversary gift in the past.
Diamonds, precious, and semi-precious gemstones rank as the top choices for wedding anniversary gifts, according to the survey. More than half of the respondents would spend up to $1,000, while about a third would spend up to $200. Although spouses are the main gift givers; parents, older children and friends are also seeing this event to give jewelry.
