The traditional 14th wedding anniversary gift is ivory. Now, in olden times — when the tradition of giving certain gifts on certain wedding anniversaries became established — ivory was a luxury good in widespread use. And, it was perfectly acceptable to buy and give ivory.

Of course, nowadays most of use would shudder at the thought of giving or receiving ivory. Thankfully, there is an answer. Precisely because of some of these more antiquated traditions, a modern alternative has established itself. And, the accepted contemporary 14th anniversary gift is gold jewellery. Jackpot! — you will be absolutely spoilt for choice!

You can score a double whammy with your gold jewellery by ensuring it has the gemstone moss agate featured in it. After all, moss agate is the customary gemstone for 14th anniversaries. Besides, moss agate is “hailed as the stone of abundance due to its powerful wealth-attracting properties”. And, we could probably all do with some wealth attracting properties in these gloomy post-banking crisis times. Plus, it looks absolutely delightful too — as shown in the picture on this page: 14th Wedding Anniversary Gifts.

Go there and, besides checking out the myths, legends and spiritual properties of moss agate, you will also discover that the 14th wedding anniversary should be marked with the giving of Dahlia (flowers) not red roses. And, there’s a handy picture of those too!

On top of all this great information, comes some really useful ideas for what gift to buy. And, pretty soon, listed there will be a whole host of gifts you can purchase online immediately. They will be picked from a cast of thousands of gifts from dozens of retailers, saving you lots of clicks!
