 The tradition of giving a gift made of a different material each year dates back to the Middle Ages. During this period more common goods such as paper, cotton and glass were given to honour a wedding anniversary. Over time these items were replaced with beautiful gemstones like sapphire, jade and garnet. These gemstones have become synonymous with each anniversary year. 1st wedding anniversary: Peridot 2nd wedding anniversary: Red garnet 3rd wedding anniversary: Jade, pearl 4th wedding anniversary: Blue zircon, topaz, amethyst 5th wedding anniversary: Pink tourmaline, sapphire 6th wedding anniversary: Turquoise, amethyst 7th wedding anniversary: Yellow sapphire 8th wedding anniversary: Tanzanite, tourmaline 9th wedding anniversary: Amethyst, lapis lazuli, tiger’s-eye 10th wedding anniversary: Blue sapphire 11th wedding anniversary: Citrine, turquoise 12th wedding anniversary: Opal, jade 13th wedding anniversary: Moonstone, citrine 14th wedding anniversary: Agate, opal 15th wedding anniversary: Rhodolite garnet, ruby 16th wedding anniversary: Red spinel, peridot, aquamarine 17th wedding anniversary: Carnelian 18th wedding anniversary: Aquamarine, opal 19th wedding anniversary: Garnet, topaz, aquamarine 20th wedding anniversary: Yellow diamond, emerald 25th wedding anniversary: Tsavorite garnet 30th wedding anniversary: Pearl 35th wedding anniversary: Emerald, coral 40th wedding anniversary: Ruby 45th wedding anniversary: Cat’s-eye, alexandrite, sapphire 50th wedding anniversary: Imperial topaz 55th wedding anniversary: Alexandrite, emerald 60th wedding anniversary: Star ruby 65th wedding anniversary: Blue spinel 70th wedding anniversary: Smoky quartz 75th wedding anniversary: Diamond For an unforgettable and modern delivery, try tucking a ring inside a leather wallet, tying a bouquet of roses together with a bracelet or hiding a necklace inside the pocket of a silky robe. |
