7th Wedding Anniversary Gifts

Copper is a naturally occurring metal, and has long been worn for its connection to energy and balance. It represents warmth, safety and security, and symbolises prosperity and good luck. It also has a long association with antimicrobial properties and joint pain relief.

It is a traditional gift for the 7th Wedding Anniversary, and a modern alternative to silver and gold, being neutral enough to go with any colourway.

Bare copper is a bright, shiny metal but naturally darkens over time. This patina can also be hastened to create an ancient earth-worn look. 

Whether bright or antiqued, to restore its shine, copper can be lightly polished with a polishing cloth (readily available online). Wearing your piece can also help to polish the metal and coat it in natural oils from your skin. Made to be lived in, copper will become richer in colour and uniquely yours.
