Pearl which anniversary

The 30th year of marriage is traditionally marked as a major milestone, and there are a few themes linked with this anniversary. Feel free to combine any ideas to make a memorable and heartfelt token of appreciation that will delight your partner or loved ones at this special time.

Traditional Theme for 30th Anniversary Gifts: Pearl. The pearl, with meanings of purity, honesty and wisdom, is the traditional 30th wedding anniversary gift. Modern Theme for 30th Anniversary Gifts: Diamond. The modern present idea for this anniversary is diamond, which represents lasting durability and strength, as well as the ongoing fire of love in the hearts of any long married pair.

Colour : Green. Combining the traditional pearl with the 30th anniversary symbolic flower, this elegant handmade gold pendant is sure to wow. A sophisticated pearl bracelet is a totally modern take on the traditional gift.

This beautiful bohemian bracelet, which comes in 14k yellow gold, features seven dainty dangling freshwater pearls. These uniquely-set Tahitian pearl hook earrings are a fun twist on the classic pearl earring. This is a fantastic way to link two special 30th anniversary treats into one glamorous gift. Both diamonds and pearls are especially precious this year — let her show them off with this beautiful ring.

Handmade in the USA, this truly unique set of three gorgeous stacking rings features two delicate white pearls and a sparkling rose-cut diamond. What a beautiful watch face that blends seamlessly into the gold band. Designed by Movado. Give your wife a keepsake that will bling up her dressing table with this crystal and pearl piece. A bouquet of lilies commemorates your 30th year together in spectacular style. Here are a few suggestions to get you started — some of them require a gentle stretching of the rules!

The name says it all. Along with a mother of pearl dial, it makes for the perfect traditional 30th anniversary gift. A brand name fountain pen design with 18 karat solid gold nib and rose gold finish.

This pen boasts a pearl lacquer cap and barrel. This pen drew me in the moment I saw it. That means no two pens are alike!

Mother-of pearl cufflinks are a great way to mark this landmark anniversary. These naturally iridescent pearl cufflinks will be his go-to accessory, adding a sharp, sophisticated look to any outfit. Year 6 is called iron but sugar or confectionery make a tastier gift - a perfect opportunity to celebrate with cake or cupcakes! Year 7 is Copper and a woollen or knitted garment is also appropriate. The name for year 8 is Bronze with gifts including pottery. Year 9 is Willow, but unless you plan on giving a present for the garden then linen or lace are good ideas.

Year 10 is called Tin so something like a set of designer storage containers might work. The modern version is diamond.

Year 11 is Steel and you could find steel jewellery or an ornament. For year 12 you shouldn't have too much trouble find a gift of Silk. The name of year 13 is Lace but gifts can include other textiles such as table linen. On to year 14 and this one is called Ivory. Obviously one would not be expected to give a gift of real ivory as it's made from elephant tusks, so the answer is to choose something that's either ivory in colour or pick out some gold jewellery instead.

Year 15 is quite a landmark and the name is Crystal with an alternative gift of a pair of watches. There are no official names for the years 16, 17, 18 and 19 so the next milestone is 20 years.
