What is the traditional 45th wedding anniversary gift?
Traditionally, after 45 years of a happy marriage, a sapphire gift is given to each other. With their deep blue colour, sapphires represent their deep, endless love for one another. Sapphires are a symbol of good fortune, wisdom, faithfulness and sincerity too. All traits needed to reach such a momentous milestone.
Legend even says that if the wearer's love begins to diminish, a sapphire will turn from blue to green. So, when blue sapphires are given as a 45th-anniversary gift, it shows the long-lasting adoration between the couple.
