There are two themes associated with a thirty fifth wedding anniversary. Some people consider a 35 year wedding anniversary to be one of those not quite so significant milestones. Here, we happen to consider it worthy of celebration, although not of the magnitude of a 25th or 50th, we’d be inclined to agree. If you are the kind of person who is planning to let this year pass without too loud a trumpet, you might want to think again. Every wedding anniversary is cause for celebration and we think your wife will most likely agree. The themes for 35 year wedding anniversary gifts are coral and jade.

Coral for a 35 year anniversary gift
A Greek word meaning ‘nymph of the sea’ is where the name coral comes from. Legend tells that blood from the head of Medusa, slain by Perseus, turned branches and twigs of shrubs that were growing by the seashore into cora. Sea-maidens then took these petrified branches with them when they went back to their sea caves in the ocean.
Coral is also thought to have health giving properties. In many countries it was also given to children in the form of amulets or rattles to ward off demons and banish nightmares. More recently coral has become a protected species in some countries because the benefits of the reefs to the environment has finally been recognised.
Jade for 35 year wedding anniversary gifts
Jade has been a prized material throughout the ages. Spanish conquistadors wore it to ward of illness. Delicate jade jewellery and detailed jade ornaments make great 35 year wedding anniversary gifts for parents. And if it’s a 35 year anniversary gift for him that you’re looking for you won’t go far wrong with a pair of jade cufflinks.
Other 35 year wedding anniversary themes
Unlike many of the other wedding anniversary years there’s no particular flower associated with a 35 year wedding anniversary. That doesn’t preclude you from giving flowers as a 35 year anniversary gift for her, because there are plenty of meaningful messages that can be conveyed with certain flowers. If you know your wife adores receiving flowers compile a bouquet with blooms that convey the sentiments you want to share.
If you’re looking for a 35 year anniversary gift for him you might want to take some inspiration from the gemstone emerald. There are lots of folklore and traditions associated with this green gemstone. It was believed to reduce the dangers of childbirth if the mother was wearing it. It was also believed to be a good indicator of chastity. Should a vow be broken between the giver and receiver it was said that the emerald would dim in colour. Should the act be considered gross treachery it was thought that the gemstone would crumble in its setting.
