Traditional 35th Anniversary Gift Meaning

The traditional gift theme of Coral has been treasured for hundreds of years and in Ancient China coral was believed to be a gift from the gods.

It symbolizes prosperity which is an ideal gift for a couple as we all wish for prosperity in lots of different aspects of our lives together.

However, due to the world's coral reefs under the threat of extinction it is much better to look at safe coral anniversary gifts.

Traditional 35th Anniversary Gift Ideas

One way to help preserve the coral reefs is to avoid buying new coral jewelry and instead look at antique pieces. Plus there are many man-made alternatives which cost a fraction of the real thing and still look stunning.

Have a look out for some of the new jewelry designers to see unique new designs.

Alternatively you could look at antique gifts and find a stunning coral necklace or coral earrings that would make the perfect anniversary gift. Just make sure that they are aged pieces.


There is also the practice of using fossil coral to create stunning coral items.


Fossil coral is no longer living and can be collected on land or from coral reefs, using fossil coral protects the reefs but you need to be so careful that the pieces you buy have used ethical coral mining techniques and don't touch marine protected areas. In other words this must be left to the experts.


You could also look to buy an imitation coral gift or 35th wedding anniversary presents that are inspired by coral rather than the real thing.

This could be in the form of

  • A beautiful painting
  • Coral colored jewelry and accessories.

        There are lots of coral inspired pieces of jewelry available at Amazon

Modern 35th Anniversary Gift Meaning

If you are looking for your Anniversary gift to come from the modern list the modern symbol for 35 years of marriage is Jade, which although on the modern list is a very traditional symbol.


Jade has been prized by many Ancient cultures around the world from South America to South East Asia and New Zealand, not only for it's beauty but also for it's musical properties too.


In Eastern cultures it was used to create musical instruments and the sound was believed to be almost heavenly that it was also used for ceremonial ornaments. You could maybe even learn to play their favorite song on a Jade chime.


Jade has often been associated with good luck, strength and good health and there can't be a better way to celebrate a happy couple than by gifting a piece of jade.

Plus the beautiful green jade color is stunning.

The darker the green of the jade the more prescious it is. This was first noticed in Jade from Burma and is also known as the imperial gem. Mainly because this was prized for emperors and the rich.
