Wedding Anniversary Gifts Most people are aware that significant wedding anniversaries such as 25th and 40th are linked to precious stones, in these cases silver and ruby. However, it is less well known that all anniversaries up to and including the 15th, and then every 5th anniversary, have their own particular symbol. The list below shows the symbol traditionally associated with each anniversary. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY 1st Anniversary - Paper 2nd Anniversary - Cotton 3rd Anniversary - Leather 4th Anniversary - Books 5th Anniversary - Wood 6th Anniversary - Sugar, candy 7th Anniversary - Wool, cooper 8th Anniversary - Bronze, pottery 9th Anniversary - Pottery, willow 10th Anniversary - Tin, aluminium 11th Anniversary - Steel 12th Anniversary - Silk, linen 13th Anniversary - Lace 14th Anniversary - Ivory 15th Anniversary - Crystal 20th Anniversary - China 25th Anniversary - Silver 30th Anniversary - Pearl 35th Anniversary - Coral 40th Anniversary - Ruby 45th Anniversary - Sapphire 50th Anniversary - Gold 60th Anniversary - Diamond 75th Anniversary - Diamond The Silver (25th) and Golden (50th) Anniversaries appear to be the most traditional. In Central Europe going back hundreds of years a man would present his wife with a silver or golden garland to mark the occasion of their anniversary. The other materials have been added to the list more recently, and there is now a more modern list, which incorporates the missing years 16-19. Amazingly, a ten-carat diamond has been added for a 100th Wedding Anniversary! How many couples will get that far? The traditional version is still preferred by most people.
