Anniversary rings are a relatively modern tradition. While engagement and wedding rings have a long history anniversary rings are a much more recent concept. In part, they are due to increasing lifespan and thus marriages are lasting much longer than they historically have. Increased affluence later in life is another reason that they have become popular.

While a couple may have been struggling financially in their early days, they are more likely to have accumulated some wealth by the time of their 20th, 25th or later anniversary.

Much more is often spent on anniversary rings than might have been spent on the original engagement or wedding ring. They are often very elaborate including significant diamonds or other stones. This of course means that they are quite valuable and if lost can represent a major financial loss, not to mention their sentimental value.
