16 years of marriage: the meaning of the sapphire wedding anniversary

Couples have been exchanging gifts to celebrate wedding anniversaries for centuries. Lists of symbols, such as the sapphire wedding anniversary for 16 years of marriage, first appeared in the 19th century. They provide inspiration for gift ideas.

As the meaning of sapphire is mainly fidelity, loyalty and wisdom, this gemstone is one of the most magnificent representations of a love that has grown stronger over the years.

Blue sapphire embodies 16 years of union, but it's only the best-known sapphire color traditionally used in jewelry. In recent years, other sapphires - violet, green, pink or teal sapphire- have become increasingly popular...

What gift to give a woman for her sapphire wedding anniversary?

Sapphire is one of the most sought-after gems in jewelry. It's ideal for a unique creation on an occasion as special as a wedding anniversary. This very hard stone can be set on a multitude of rings worn every day. It is extremely popular for earrings and pendants, often round, pear-shaped or adorned with diamonds, as on a daisy ring.

But you can give a sapphire wedding jewel as a "blue gift":

• a weekend at the seaside,
• dinner under the stars,
• a cruise,
• a thalasso weekend,
• blue flowers: hydrangea, periwinkle, iris...
• a painting in which blue predominates...

Find a gift idea for a man's 16th wedding anniversary

Sapphires can be found in a wide range of men's jewelry, including rings, bracelets, necklaces and signet rings.

Personalized gifts are often the most popular, so consider a photo album featuring your best memories, a gourmet gift box or, why not, tickets to a concert, festival or sporting event. A course is another good gift idea for a man on his sapphire wedding anniversary, depending on his passions, or to take together, such as a dance class.

An experience that's out of the ordinary and will create new memories is usually an excellent wedding anniversary gift, or a surprise, such as secretly bringing the family together or organizing a mystery trip to a romantic destination.

For a nod to the symbol on the occasion of a sapphire wedding, note that any gift can be given in a blue box or paper, such as a watch or a beautiful leather object.

Blue jewels for sapphire weddings

Wedding anniversary symbols give ideas and a gift for a sapphire wedding is not exclusively sapphire, including jewelry.

Blue stones are used to create rings, necklaces or bracelets, such as aquamarine, which makes a lovely 20-year wedding anniversary ring stone too, lapis lazuli, turquoise (even though it's associated with 18-year wedding anniversaries), tanzanite and other stones that can be different colors including blue, such as sapphire.

This can help you choose a particular shade of blue or find a precise meaning, since each stone embodies specific virtues.
