Golden Beryl Anniversary Gemstone

golden beryl



The golden beryl anniversary gemstone represents 7 years of marriage. The yellow sapphire and the onyx may also be purchased as a gemstone gift representing this anniversary.




We hope the following suggestions will help...


Golden Beryl Jewelry

Golden Beryl (Heliodor) is made into a variety of jewelry items which vary in price from reasonable to very expensive.

Golden Beryl Cuff Links

An ideal gift for a man would be a pair of cuff links along with a matching tie pie. A tie and shirt along with these items makes a nice gift as you are able to place them on the shirt before wrapping the gift.

Golden Beryl Colored Flowers

Purchase a bouquet of flowers in yellow to match the colors found in a golden beryl anniversary gemstone. Yellow flowers look great with really dark green foliage. Place the flowers in a vase so the couple do not have to find one on the day.


We hope this has given you some unique ideas for Golden Beryl anniversary gemstone gifts. We have more gift suggestions on our birthstone and anniversary pages so please take a look.



Facts about Golden Beryl

Golden beryl is a member of the beryl family. This includes the emerald which has a trace of chromium to give it a fabulous green color. If nature includes iron in one form it becomes aquamarine, iron in another form becomes golden beryl.

Golden beryl was first discovered in Namibia in 1913 in a is a very coarse-grained igneous rock that also produced aquamarine. The mining company that found it named it Heliodor meaning 'gift of the sun' after the Greek words for sun 'helios' and gift 'doron'. Golden beryl may be found in Brazil and Madagascar. The gems with an intense banana-peel yellow are rarely found here though.

Golden beryl is more affordable than aquamarine as it is the lesser known of the two gemstones. The crystals often grow to very large sizes because of the complementary match between the iron and beryl. Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. has the largest faceted golden beryl (2,054 carats) on the display.

Golden beryl is a very durable gem, 7.5 - 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness making it excellent for wearing every day.
