There are several lists indicating with which symbol the various years
of marriage are marked. Whilst the traditional lists are fairly similar,
there are some minor changes between countries. In the US, for example,
the first wedding anniversary is marked with paper, but in the UK it is
traditionally marked with cotton. The big anniversaries, however,
remain consistent. So the 25th wedding anniversary by tradition calls
for gifts of silver.
Marking wedding anniversaries with specific
gifts is thought to have its origins in medieval Germany. To survive 25
years of marriage was no mean feat in an era of limited medical
knowledge, plague outbreaks and frequent wars, particularly in the
Germanic areas of Europe where battles over territory and between nobles
and the papacy were on going over the centuries. A silver wreath was
presented to the wife by her neighbours on her 25th wedding anniversary,
congratulating the couple on the good fortune that had enabled them to
live so long together. If a couple reached 50 years of marriage then a
gold wreath would be given to them. It is from this tradition that the
giving of specific gifts to mark the years grew.
Most silver is
produced as a byproduct of the refining of other metals. It is found as
an alloy with gold, copper, lead and zinc, in minerals such as argentite
and chlorargyrite, as well as in a pure form on its own. The
gold-silver alloy electrum was used as far back as 700 BCE by the
Lydians in eastern parts of what is now Turkey. Sterling silver, usually
used in jewellery and silverware, is an alloy of silver and copper, and
almost all coloured carat gold alloys include silver.
So, what could you do to mark such a milestone in a marriage?
1) The gift.
Something
in silver, or including silver, is what would be expected. For women,
some form of jewellery - perhaps a ring, although the eternity ring is
traditionally precious gems set in gold. A necklace and earring set is
another possibility, or perhaps a brooch fashioned in silver. For men, a
ring would also work - perhaps a signet ring. Alternatively, sterling
silver cufflinks are a traditional gift, although if the man concerned
does not have suitable shirts they may not be of much practical use. A
hip flask might also be appreciated.
To give to a couple, a
silver photograph frame is a popular idea, although there is a risk that
most of their friends will do the same. Personalise it, if you can,
with a favourite picture of the happy couple, perhaps with friends or
other family members. Alternatively, go that little bit further and find
a silver coloured photo album and fill it with images of their lives
together. Perhaps a more decorative item, such as a small silver platter
engraved with the date of the wedding and the names of the couple, a
silver carriage clock, or a candelabra could fit the bill instead.
