Here you can see a list of themes connected with the 14th year of marriage. Choose any or all of the items, colors and themes to create an ideal gift for your beloved.
Traditional Gift Theme: Ivory*
*Although in the past ivory was considered to be traditional as a gift for the 14th anniversary, today our elephant populations are endangered and so it is not the most ethical choice. Instead, often elephant-themed gifts are given.
The elephant is recognized as a symbol of stability, patience, strength, dignity and reliability. In Hindu culture, the luck god is an elephant, who brings fortune and protection while blessing all new endeavors. Within marriage, an elephant is representative of these many attributes and is a blessing on a couple's future journey.
Modern Gift Theme:Jewelry made from gold
Gold jewelry is representative of health, power and wealth.
Flower: Dahlia
A gold or white rose is also suitable in accordance with the 14th anniversary colors
A dahlia is a symbol of grace, elegance and dignity, and when given for a 14th anniversary gift, it is significant of the committed bond between a strong married couple who share moral values.

Substitute: Gold; Ivory; Moss Agate; Kunzite
