"Chocolates? Overdone. Flowers? Totally cliche.\r\nFor his last-minute anniversary shopping trip Wednesday, Jay-Z headed to high-end jewelry store Jacob &amp;amp; Co.\r\nThe &amp;quot;Watch The Throne&amp;quot; rapper, 42, was photographed leaving the shop Wednesday afternoon. Before getting into his SUV, Jay embraced the company&amp;apos;s high-profile founder, Jacob &amp;quot;the Jeweler&amp;quot; Arabo.\r\n\r\nJay-Z&amp;apos;s visit to the ultra-luxe boutique coincides with his and Beyonce&amp;apos;s fourth wedding anniversary--and a source confirms to Us Weekly that Jay&amp;apos;s purchase from Jacob the Jeweler was indeed an anniversary gift for his wife.\r\nArabo is as famous for his flashy personality as he is for his gems--the jeweler&amp;apos;s custom-made pieces generally cost upwards of $10,000, and his high-profile clientele includes celebrities like Elton John and David Beckham. (Jay-Z&amp;apos;s pal Kanye West even gave Arabo a shout-out on Late Registration&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Touch the Sky&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Diamonds From Sierra Leone.&amp;quot;)\r\n\r\nBeyonce and Jay-Z are usually reluctant to open up about their ten-plus year relationship, although Beyonce--who gave birth to the couple&amp;apos;s daughter Blue Ivy on January 7--let Harper&amp;apos;s Bazaar readers get a rare glimpse into what makes them work during her interview with the mag last October.\r\n&amp;quot;We have been together since I was 20 years old,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Run the World&amp;quot; singer revealed. &amp;quot;We took our time and developed an unbreakable friendship before we got married.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nContinued Bey, &amp;quot;I admire [Jay&amp;apos;s] ability to inspire others...I respect him so much; he is a great man and a great artist.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
