Sparkly 6th Anniversary Gifts

Your 6th anniversary is traditionally celebrated with candy or iron and from the modern list with wood.

All of these are great gifts but if you want a present that has a bit more sparkle have a look at the gemstone list.

What is the 6th Anniversary Gemstone?

The gem for 6 years is Amethyst, the beautiful purple stone that is steeped in history and ancient stories. It is considered to be the stone of protection, controls evil thoughts, increases intelligence and encourages calmness and bravery.

Amethyst 6th Anniversary Gifts for Your Wife

When it comes to finding a gorgeous 6th Anniversary gift for your wife Amethysts are perfect.

Perfect because they are the Anniversary stone for this year but they are also beautiful.

Amethysts are also a relatively hard gemstone which means that they can be worn everyday but you do need to be careful that the stone doesn't fade. Quite often Amethysts are heat treated to make them darker and therefore they can be effected by UV which will make them fade. 

Before choosing jewelry for your wife as your gift think about the style that they love to wear.

• Do they love to wear flamboyant necklaces or something more simple in design?

• Do they prefer their earrings to dangle or do they prefer a smaller stud?

• And when it comes to Amethyst rings do they love a big sparkly ring or something smaller?

Amesthyst Anniversary Gifts For Your Husband

If your husband loves to wear jewelry or is fascinated with the geology of gemstones then Amethysts would be a great Anniversary gift for him.

Gift ideas for him could be

• Amesthyst Cufflinks
• Amethsyt Tie Pin
• Amethyst Ring
• Amethyst stone quartz as a home decor, they look great on a shelf, on a desk or displayed on your coffee table.

6th Anniversary Color

An alternative to the Amethyst gemstone for a gift you could also look to the color purple for inspiration.

• It can be as simple as wrapping all of your presents in purple paper or create a purple themed gift basket filled with their favorite goodies.
• Or a purple flowering plant or bouquet of flowers.
• Or fill a glass jar with purple candy.

Amethyst Anniversary Stone Properties

In Feng Shui the Amethyst improves the wealth corner and focus on giving and receiving wealth.

So not only is it a stunning stone it also has some pretty powerful strengths too, across a number of cultures!

There is also a sweet story that Saint Valentine is thought to have worn an Amethyst ring which was engraved with a cupid. Catherine The Great, the Russian princess loved the stone so much she sent soldiers to find more in the Urals. It is also in a number of pieces in the British Crown jewels.

You would be in good company if you decided to give this stone as your anniversary gift and although this is the stone for your 6th anniversary that doesn't stop you gifting it at another anniversary.

This would hold even more importance if you felt that they could benefit from protection or also just because it is beautiful. Beautiful is important on an anniversary. There are some beautiful pieces that would be perfect for your anniversary.

Amethyst Themed Anniversary Vacations

As well as some stunning jewelry you could also look at travelling to where Amethysts are found and there are some pretty amazing places to visit for an anniversary vacation.

They are

• the Alps in Austria and Germany, 
• Brazil, 
• Bolivia, 
• Canada, 
• India, 
• Russia, 
• USA 
• and Sri Lanka.

Some of the places have more Amethyst than others and there are even places within these countries that have places named after this beautiful stone. One famous example is the Amethyst Mountain, Texas.

You can also visit some of the mines in these areas and maybe even find your own piece - how about that for an anniversary gift!

Of course mining for Amethyst crystals is really only an excuse for a great vacation! You could just as happily spend your time sight seeing, climbing mountains, skiing, sunbathing and chilling by the pool.
