As Featured on The Knot: Horizontal Bar Inlay Necklace Named One of the Best 5-Year Anniversary Gifts

As Featured on The Knot: Horizontal Bar Inlay Necklace Named One of the Best 5-Year Anniversary Gifts

When The Knot—a trusted authority in weddings and milestone celebrations—published their list of the “35 Best 5-Year Anniversary Gifts for Your Spouse,” we were honored (and thrilled!) to see our Silver Horizontal Bar Inlay Necklace featured as the second product on the list.

This elegant piece is one of our most beloved designs, and now it has the spotlight to match. Though The Knot linked to our Etsy store, we’re excited to share that you can shop this featured necklace right here on our official website.




Why The Silver Bar Necklace Stands Out

Simple, sophisticated, and full of meaning, this necklace combines rich hued Pau Ferro wood with a sleek, modern silver bar bezel and 5 sterling silver inlay dots—capturing the heart of the traditional 5th anniversary symbol in a design that’s timeless and wearable.

Why it was featured by The Knot:

“This beautiful necklace features a sleek bar design inlaid with wood—subtle, elegant and perfectly on-theme for a 5-year wedding anniversary.”

Key features:

  • Natural wood bar inlaid with 5 sterling silver dots

  • Minimalist style with a meaningful twist

  • Handmade in Toronto with care and precision

  • A modern heirloom for everyday wear

The Meaning Behind Wood for the 5-Year Anniversary

Wood is the traditional gift for the 5th wedding anniversary, symbolizing strength, growth, and a love that’s deeply rooted. It represents a relationship that has matured—built on stability, shared history, and quiet resilience.

Our Silver Horizontal Bar Inlay Necklace captures that symbolism in a way that feels both modern and personal. It’s a daily reminder of five years of love—and the many more to come.

A Thoughtful Gift for Her

Looking for a 5th anniversary gift for your wife that’s not cliché, but still meaningful? This necklace makes a lasting impression without being flashy. It pairs beautifully with other silver jewelry and works just as well with jeans and a tee as it does with a date-night dress.

This is the kind of gift that says:

  • "I remember the details."

  • "I wanted something personal."

  • "I appreciate your style and your strength."

And most importantly:

  • “I love the life we’ve built together.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the traditional gift for the 5-year wedding anniversary?

The traditional gift for the 5-year wedding anniversary is wood, symbolizing strong roots, growth, and resilience in a relationship. It reflects the idea that your marriage has matured into something sturdy and enduring—just like a tree that has weathered five seasons of life.

Why is wood a meaningful anniversary gift?

Wood carries deep symbolism: it grows slowly and steadily, it’s naturally beautiful, and it stands the test of time. When gifted for a 5-year anniversary, it serves as a reminder of how your relationship has developed depth, strength, and character. Plus, it’s eco-friendly and wonderfully tactile—perfect for a meaningful keepsake.

What makes the Silver Horizontal Bar Inlay Necklace a good 5-year anniversary gift?

This necklace captures the tradition of wood while adding a modern design twist. With its sterling silver bar and natural wood inlay, it’s subtle, stylish, and versatile—something your partner can wear every day. It’s also handcrafted, making it a unique and thoughtful gift that speaks to your shared journey.

Is this necklace only for women?

This particular style was designed for women, but we have several pendants designed specifically for men. These can be explored here.

Can I get this necklace gift-wrapped or personalized?

Yes! All Liel and Lentz pieces come beautifully packaged and ready to gift. If you're looking to personalize your anniversary gift, consider pairing it with one of our engravable bar bracelets or including a custom note at checkout.

Whether you’re shopping for your wife, your husband, or choosing something together as a couple, our wood jewelry is designed to be more than just beautiful—it’s designed to be meaningful.
