What Is The 14 Year Anniversary Gift?

Traditional 14th Anniversary Gift – Ivory

According to the list of traditional anniversary gifts by year, the traditional 14th anniversary gift is ivory. The ivory given on the 14th wedding anniversary of marriage was originally sourced from the tusks of elephants, walruses, or warthogs. Ivory, which has always been a costly item, was seen as one of the finest ways in which to honour a partner. Ivory is seen as a symbol of the dignity, patience, and stability reflected by a couple whose marriage has survived for 14 years. It takes good times and bad to develop those fine qualities in a relationship.

Of course, giving a gift made of real ivory today is a big no-no. But don’t worry! There are plenty of other cool 14th anniversary gift ideas in line with the ivory theme below that are eco-conscious and totally fabulous.

Modern Gift – Gold Jewelry

Due to rampant poaching and the difficulty of finding ethically sourced ivory, gold jewelry has become the preferred gift for the 14th wedding anniversary. Gold is nowhere as rare as ivory, but its value and beauty make it a worthy gift to honour your husband or wife. Despite the modern gift being gold jewelry, the occasion is not known as the golden anniversary – that name is reserved for the 50th, which is still a few decades away!

Flower – Orchid

The symbolism of the orchid has changed according to time and place. To the Victorians, who placed special emphasis on the language of flowers, they represented beauty, love, luxury and strength. To the ancient Greeks, they represented virility and fertility. Most people who include orchids among the 14th anniversary gifts focus on the meaning bestowed on the flowers by the Victorians.

Gemstone – Opal

Containing within themselves the colours of the rainbow, opals look like they could have been mined by dwarves in the land of the fairies. However, 95% of the precious gems are mined in Australia. The rest come from the western US, as well as Brazil, Honduras and Mexico. The stone represents love and passion; both qualities that should be alive and well at the 14th anniversary.

14th Anniversary Gifts For Him

Whether based on old or new traditions, a 14th anniversary gift for him should be luxurious. They should convey a sense of dignity, express your love and perhaps have a touch of the exotic about them. Use our suggestions to find a gift which says that, after 14 years of marriage, you’re still lucky in love!
