75th Anniversary - Seventy-fifth Anniversary

Congratulations on your 75th wedding anniversary. A couple that has been together for 75 years most likely isn’t interested in material things. Rather than giving diamond rings or necklaces, a gift of time or companionship may be more appropriate. Something like a weekend getaway, special dinner or simply a day together will be much more appreciated. Another suggestion is a picture collage or a video of significant times in the anniversary couple’s life (family weddings, parties etc.)

55th Traditional Anniversary Gift: EMERALD Modern Gift: EMERALD Gemstone: EMERALD

TRADITIONAL & MODERN GIFT: The emerald is known for its brilliant green shine. This shine comes from a high content of chromium. Genuine emeralds contain trace amounts of iron, which actually increases the value of the stone. Some of the best emeralds in the world are found in South America, particularly Columbia and Brazil. Ancient Egyptians buried emeralds with mummies. Some of the oldest emeralds in the world were harvested from the infamous “Cleopatra mines”. Emeralds are known to be very tough gems, but they are prone to cracks on the surface, which could devalue the gem. For this reason, before the gems are sold to the public, they are treated with epoxy or oils to fix or prevent any cracks and improve the transparency.

GEMSTONE: Alexandrite is a very rare gemstone names after the Russian tsar Alexander II. It is considered the national stone of Russia because it portrays the same green and red colors of the old Imperial Russia. As stated, it is the rarest of the stones that represent a wedding anniversary. Another unique quality is that it changes color. It can turn anywhere from a bluish-green to shades of red. It is rarely made into jewelry, so if you can get your hands on Alexandrite, it would be a great, symbolic gift for your loved one.

FLOWER: While there is not a specific flower associated the 55th wedding anniversary, flowers are always appropriate. Roses, lilies, carnations, daisies and violets are some beautiful suggestions, but any flower that your spouse likes can be professionally bundled and can be given as a thoughtful gift. Tie a bouquet of 55 flowers with an emerald colored ribbon or place in an emerald colored vase and you have a perfect 55th wedding anniversary gift.

It is found near Japan and used in most fine coral jewelry. The most valuable coral is called blood coral. Found near Italy, blood coral is the most expensive coral in the world. Any coral that contains parts of blood coral is immediately more valuable. Red coral defends against plague and pestilence. It is thought that uncut coral worn around the neck will lose its color if that person is in the presence of another person who is going to die.

MODERN GIFT: Jade is another gift associated with the 35th anniversary and is emerald green in color. The two minerals that mostly comprise jade are jadeite and nephrite. Jadeite is the more sought after and valuable of the two. The best jadeite is found in Myanmar in Asia. Jade can also be found in yellow, pink, purple and black. The most common color is emerald green. In ancient times it was thought that jade protected the kidney, liver, spleen, heart, larynx, thymus and thyroid. Jade was associated with increased body strength and advanced longevity.

30th Traditional Anniversary Gift: PEARL Modern Gift: DIAMOND Gemstone: PEARL Flower: LILY

TRADITIONAL GIFT: The traditional gift given for the 30th wedding anniversary is pearl. Some gift ideas are: earrings, necklace, bracelet, cuff links or a religious rosary. It is important to know that pearls are a very sensitive gem. They need to be taken care of and restrung every couple of years. They can be irritated by common things such as makeup and perfume.

MODERN GIFT:A more modern gift for the 30th wedding anniversary is a diamond. Of course diamonds are the most well known and sought after gem. Diamonds are most commonly associated with earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, cufflinks, etc. As opposed to pearls, diamonds are the hardest most durable gem there is. Unlike pearls, they do not need such meticulous care. They just need to be cleaned and polished periodically.

GEMSTONE:Pearl is the gemstone that represents the 30th wedding anniversary. Pearls are unique to other gems in that they are created inside of certain species. Oysters, mollusks and clams all produce pearls. There are two types of pearls, natural and cultured. A natural pearl is the rarest of pearls. It is formed when an irritant makes its way into one of these species. It then begins to secrete what is commonly known as “mother of pearl” to produce the smooth, final product. A cultured pearl is the more common pearl found in jewelry. A cultured pearl is formed when a human purposely places an irritant in one of the above species with the intent of “growing” a pearl. Pearls have long been a valued commodity and are a perfect gift to give on the 30th wedding anniversary.

FLOWER:Lilies are historically associated with the 30th wedding anniversary. We like the idea of giving a bouquet of lilies along with one of the above gems. Any gift of diamonds or a strand of pearls wrapped around a bouquet of flowers will show your spouse that you've gone the extra mile this 30th anniversary.

We invite you to visit us for your next anniversary and we will give you more great ideas.
