How To Work Jewellery Gifts Into Every Wedding Anniversary – Part 3

Welcome back
to our series on incorporating jewellery into every wedding anniversary. For the list of materials check out part 1
and for up to the 13th year check out parts 1 & 2.
We now move
forward, starting with the 14th year of wedded bliss …
On your
fourteenth wedding anniversary it's customary to give gifts of ivory. This is a tightly controlled material because
of the impact on elephants, so it is impossible to get anything modern made
from ivory. You may decide to purchase
some antique ivory as a gift, but many people shy away from the material
because of the negative impact that the ivory trade has on wildlife. The modern alternative is gold, and our Amore
Oro collection features a lot of gold jewellery to choose from. The gemstone associated with fourteen years
of marriage is opal, and we have some gorgeous opal sterling silver jewellery,
such as our Spicy Opal earrings which are simply gorgeous and can be worn with
anything, or our Opaltine collection with earrings, ring and necklace to choose
from. Some people are superstitious
about opals, but they also have plenty of positive connotations as well as
being absolutely stunning.
After fifteen
years of marriage the traditional material to give is crystal, and what could
be better than a matching pair of wine glasses or highball tumblers for your
favourite tipple? Crystal is a beautiful
material and it really shows off jewellery if you put it inside the glass,
making it a great way to gift a piece of jewellery with your crystal
present. For maximum impact on opening
go for coloured gemstones which will shine through the crystal. Blues and greens (topaz, sapphire, peridot or
emerald) are great colours to go with crystal.
The next
traditional anniversary with an associated material is the twentieth, a real
milestone in any marriage. The material
in this case is china, meaning a finer, bone china rather than the coarser
pottery associated with nine years.
There are so many things made from bone china, from tableware to lamps,
ornaments and even lighting pull cord handles, so you're spoilt for choice when
it comes to gift giving for your twentieth wedding anniversary. Why not look for a bone china jewellery tree
or scatter dish and give it to your beloved already adorned with Amore Argento
jewellery? After two decades of marriage
you'll know your partner's tastes inside out, so you can be confident of making
the right decision. Perhaps you have
been building up the full set of one of our designs over a few occasions and
this anniversary is the perfect opportunity to give the last piece? Maybe you want to start building a full
matching set and this occasion is the place to start? Whatever you decide, you can't go wrong with
jewellery.
25 years of
marriage is marked by silver, and that's our material of choice at Amore
Argento. Any jewellery from our
collection is perfect for this anniversary.
When you
reach the milestone of having been married for 30 years, the pearl is your
reward and our pearl wedding collection has lots of gorgeous options for this
material. If your wedding day featured
pearl jewellery why not find a similar piece to give for this anniversary?
Don’t forget to join us again soon for the fourth and final part of our wedding anniversary series.
