Anniversaries
Anniversary gifts for parents and couples
A milestone is worth an object rather than an occasion. Framed gemstone pieces for a 25th, a 50th, or any year that mattered.
What suits a milestone anniversary
- Joined initials of the couple, as a monogram of the household they built
- A devotional piece for parents, which goes into the pooja room and is seen daily
- Shri Ram in rhodolite garnet, Rs 32,900: our most substantial piece, for a 50th
- Shri Ram in amethyst, Rs 22,900: quieter, for a household with a daily practice
- The piece is numbered, so it carries a record of when it was made
Choosing by the year
- Silver jubilee, 25 years: joined initials, or Swastik at Rs 25,900
- Golden jubilee, 50 years: Shri Ram in rhodolite garnet, or Ganesh side profile
- Earlier anniversaries: Om at Rs 13,900, or a single family initial
- Any year: the couple's own initials, drawn to order as a commission
Practical points
- Stands on its own base, so it suits a mandir shelf or a living room console
- Sealed under glass, so it needs no polishing or upkeep
- Free insured delivery across India, with the date shown before you pay
- Can be sent directly to your parents rather than carried

Questions about this piece
Something they will keep in sight rather than store away. A monogram of their joined initials, or a devotional piece for the pooja room they already use daily. Our pieces at that level run from Rs 22,900 to Rs 28,900, certified and gift boxed.
