Pearls are not exactly the easiest gift to buy for a man. But I expanded my thought process and the phrase “pearls of wisdom” came to me one day. Jay doesn’t really enjoy fiction books, but he loves to read insightful and meaningful stories that he can learn from. So after some googling, I came across this book called The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance and the Art of Living. Every day of the year has its own page with a quote from an ancient philosopher and then the author explains the metaphors and applies it to modern living. He LOVED it! It was the gift that kept on giving for the whole year! Even years later, he still picks it up once in awhile when he needs some inspiration or motivation.
Although pearls themselves are rare, there are an abundance of pearl options in the sea of anniversary gifts. Pearl jewelry is one of the most classic and sophisticated gifts that we’ve come across on our present journey. Dozens of brands sell beautiful necklaces, bracelets, earrings and more all with stunning pearls at the center. For this anniversary, I found a stunning pearl necklace from Pearl-Lang that I immediately fell in love with. Simple yet elegant and chic, the freshwater pearl is wrapped in sparkling cubic zirconia in a sterling silver pendant and is a real statement piece. Annie has worn it to several special occasions, weddings and other formal events over the years and it always gets many complements.
