SILK - 12th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
(or Pearls & Other Gems & Jade Gemstone)



The theme for the 12th wedding anniversary gift is silk, and one so easy to be wrapped up in. It’s so easy to adore silk and people have been doing it for thousands of years. Cool in summer and warm in winter, silk’s strength enabled it to be used in early bulletproof vests, as well as in battle under shirts to help against arrow wounds.

Silk has been in production in China for over 3500 years and besides it’s comfort and strength, its great beauty has made it the material of garments worn by monarchs in most cultures in the world. Silk’s wonderful lustre and sheen make it a handsome and desirable choice for 12 year wedding anniversary gifts.

The modern alternative theme for 12th anniversary gifts is the pearl or other gemstones. Again it is the lustrous beauty that is the common thread in all these elements.

Perhaps in an age where both parties celebrate with a 12 year anniversary gift, the lovely wife can give her husband a silken shirt or bathrobe, while he gives her a pearl necklace. Everyone’s a winner!
