33rd Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas

Your 33rd Wedding Anniversary is a special occasion and one to be celebrated in style.

This year's modern alternative gift symbol is the stunningly beautiful Amethyst with all it's rich purple colors. It doesn't have a traditional gift symbol as the traditional list goes from your 30th straight to your 35th.

33rd Anniversary Symbol and Meaning 

Gift symbol: Amethyst

Color: Purple

Although your 33rd Anniversary doesn't have a traditional symbol the Amethyst stone is a very traditional gift and one that has been gifted for hundreds of years.

Meaning: The literal meaning of Amethyst comes from the Ancient Greek word amethystos meaning not intoxicated, probably not quite the celebration meaning you are used to in previous Anniversary years! After 33 years of marriage this beautiful stone represents calmness and being grounded.

The Romans believed that the Amethyst represented fidelity which represents the commitment and strength you both have to each other a wonderful symbol for a wonderful marriage.

Gifts of Amethyst are beautiful, a prized gift as far back as the Ancient Egyptians and even Cleopatra is meant to have worn a ring made of Amethyst.

The Amethysts in these countries are protected so you can't just go and pick up your own stones, instead a great way to get the most of your Anniversary vacation is to explore the beauty of these countries and if you are lucky buy an Amethyst gift while you are there.
