An anniversary band is a diamond ring given to mark a wedding milestone, usually worn beside the engagement ring and wedding band. Most anniversary bands set a row of diamonds across the top of the ring, adding sparkle to your stack without the full commitment of an eternity band. At Pure Jewels India, our anniversary bands are made with lab-grown diamonds certified by SGL Laboratory, in 1 ctw and 2 ctw designs, and in white, yellow, or rose gold.
Choose by Number of Stones
The number of diamonds changes both the look and the meaning of the band:
- 5 Stone – Fewer, larger diamonds for bold, balanced sparkle; a natural choice for a fifth anniversary
- 7 Stone – Our widest range, with seven diamonds spanning the top of the finger
- 9 Stone – A finer row of diamonds for a delicate, continuous look
- 11 Stone – The most diamonds across the top, for near-eternity sparkle from above
Some couples match the stone count to a milestone or to something meaningful, such as the size of their family.
What "1 CTW" Means on an Anniversary Band
CTW stands for carat total weight: the combined weight of every diamond in the band, not each stone. Assuming equal-sized diamonds, a 1 ctw band with:
- 5 stones – about 0.20 carat each
- 7 stones – about 0.14 carat each
- 11 stones – about 0.09 carat each
Fewer stones give larger, more noticeable diamonds; more stones give a finer, more continuous line of sparkle. Our 2 ctw designs double the total diamond weight for a bolder presence. To understand why two diamonds of the same carat can cost differently, read our carat weight guide.
Setting Styles in This Collection
- V-Prong – Seven-stone bands with a gently curved silhouette, in Asscher, cushion, emerald, oval, princess, radiant, and round.
- East-West Set – Elongated diamonds set horizontally across the band for a modern look.
- French Pavé – Diamonds set close together with minimal metal between them, for a smooth line of sparkle.
- Classic Prong – Each diamond held by its own prongs, letting in maximum light
- Single Shared Prong – Neighbouring diamonds share prongs, so less metal shows and the stones sit closer together.
- Split Shank – A 2 ctw marquise five-stone design where the band divides for an airy, sculptural look.

Ten Diamond Shapes to Choose From
Our anniversary bands come in round, oval, emerald, princess, cushion, radiant, Asscher, marquise, pear, and heart shapes. Round diamonds deliver the most brilliance. Emerald and Asscher cuts show long, mirror-like facets. Oval, pear, and marquise stones add movement, and heart-shaped diamonds make an especially romantic anniversary gift. See our guide to the most popular diamond shapes for help choosing.
Which Anniversary Calls for a Diamond Band?
There is no fixed rule, but certain milestones are popular:
- 1st Anniversary – A slim band to begin a stack you can add to over the years
- 5th Anniversary – A five-stone band, one diamond for each year
- 10th Anniversary – A fuller 1 ctw or 2 ctw design to mark a decade together
- 25th Anniversary – The silver jubilee, often celebrated with a bolder band or an upgrade
- 60th Anniversary – Traditionally known as the diamond anniversary
Many couples add a new band at each milestone, building a stack that tells their story.
Anniversary Bands for Your Wife, Your Husband, or Both of You
For your wife: A diamond anniversary band is one of the most meaningful anniversary gifts for a wife because she can wear it every day, stacked with her engagement ring and wedding band. If you're unsure of her style, a round or oval band in the same gold tone as her existing rings is a safe, beautiful choice. For something more personal, our heart-shaped five-stone band is one of our best sellers. Looking for more ideas? Explore our diamond gift ideas for your wife, or our picks for Karwa Chauth gifts.
For your husband: Men usually prefer a wider band with subtle diamond detailing. Explore our Mens Rings collection, or read our guide to the best diamond rings for men.
For both of you: If you'd like to celebrate together, our couple rings are designed as matching pairs.
Anniversary Band or Eternity Band?
An anniversary band places diamonds across the top, leaving a solid metal back. That makes it more comfortable against neighbouring fingers and generally easier to resize than a full eternity band. If you'd prefer diamonds all the way around, explore our eternity bands.
How to Wear an Anniversary Band
Most people wear it on the same finger as their engagement ring and wedding band. Choose a band of similar width to your existing rings so they sit comfortably together, and match the gold tone for a coordinated stack. Not sure whether to pick 14K or 18K gold? Our guide explains the difference. An anniversary band also looks beautiful worn on its own, on either hand.
Gifting an Anniversary Band as a Surprise
The easiest way to get the size right is to borrow a ring your partner already wears on the same finger, or follow our Ring Size Guide. A slim band suits everyday wear, while a bolder row of larger diamonds makes more of a statement. For planning tips, read how to surprise her with a diamond ring.
