Below is a list of both traditional and modern gift materials, as well as classic flower and gemstone symbols, which mark a couple’s 14th wedding anniversary in countries around the world…
Ivory is a wonderfully appropriate traditional symbol for your 14th wedding anniversary – albeit with an important caveat when it comes to buying gifts. Rare and beautiful, ivory is a precious commodity that signifies the integrity and fidelity of a marriage relationship, and the abiding loyalty and devotion shared by two people. These are qualities truly worthy of a memorable celebration. Hence, this year is popularly known as the Ivory Anniversary.

Because of the threat to elephant populations, the UK, US and many other countries have banned the import of ivory products.
You can buy ivory products but they tend to be hugely expensive and often available only within a dubious legal context. In any event, here at My Wedding Anniversary we are committed to focusing on the most ethical gifts that couples can give to each other.
With that in mind, below we have outlined a selection of associated gift ideas and other exceptional gift options to help make your 14th wedding anniversary a day full of beautiful memories.
Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, for can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.”Quoted by: Oscar Wilde
14th Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Him, Her… and the Couple
The precious metal for 14th wedding anniversaries is gold, a symbol of both wealth and optimism – as well as good health. Gold jewellery is always a great idea to celebrate 14 years of marriage, and there are plenty of options… necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, cuff links, watches and tie pins.
The traditional gift is a clock, with options ranging from classic carriage clocks to more modern pieces for your home. There is also an excellent choice of designer clocks for those seeking something a little more chic. Using the themes of gold, ivory and clocks for inspiration, you will be sure to find the ideal 14th wedding anniversary gift for your partner.
