75th wedding anniversary: brilliant
A brilliant is a diamond that a cutter has given dozens of tiny facets, so each one catches light and sends it back. After seventy-five years, a marriage has hundreds of facets like that: children being born, moves to new homes, lean years and better ones. Each added something to a sparkle you can now see in the eyes of the whole family.

- A serenade under her window: her favorite song from when she was young, sung by the whole family
- A cut crystal glass in a silver-plated holder, for his afternoon tea

- His old watch, repaired by a watchmaker, with your wedding date engraved on the back
- A star map showing the sky exactly as it looked above you on the evening of your wedding

How to spend the day
Have a lantern evening. Let the family light seventy-five lanterns in the garden or yard, one for each year together, while you watch from a bench, wrapped in one blanket.
Tradition
Today’s round brilliant usually has 57 or 58 facets. Its proportions were worked out in 1919 by Marcel Tolkowsky, so the stone would send back as much light as possible.
