The earliest wedding anniversary association reference found other than the Silver or gold is to the 5th anniversary (Wood) which implies this became the material for that anniversary around 1875.
There are currently 2 Diamond Anniversaries for the purpose of wedding anniversary association, one at 60 and one at 75 years. The 75th anniversary is the original traditional diamond anniversary with the 60th being added when Queen Victoria (English Empire Monarch) celebrated her Diamond Jubilee on her 60th anniversary of accession to the throne in 1897 and this has since been adopted as an appropriate Wedding Anniversary association.
In 1937 the American National Retail Jeweler Association issued a more comprehensive list which associated a material for each Anniversary year up to the 15th Anniversary and then each fifth year after that up to the 60th Anniversary.
The following is a partial list of wedding anniversary association.
- Five year anniversary - The couple has become used to one another, and the marriage appears stable. Carved wooden figures symbolize the stability.
- Ten year anniversary - The marriage, in full bloom, occasions gifts of red roses, the flowers of love.
- Twenty five year anniversary - The marriage has lasted a quarter of a century. On this day silver decorates everything. The marriage should remain of lasting worth.
- Thirty year anniversary - The years of marriage follow each other like pearls on a string: accordingly a husband will give his wife a pearl necklace.
- Fourthy year anniversary - Ruby, garnet, emerald - After four decades of marriage the fire of love remains unextinguished; accordingly a ruby enhances the wedding ring.
- Fifty year anniversary - The marriage has become as precious, glittering and secure as gold, the noblest metal. Often a renewed religious blessing takes place.
- Sixty year anniversary - Diamonds symbolize love, strength and brilliance for all eternity.
- Sixty five year anniversary - iron - The married couple have experience the vicissitudes of almost an entire human lifetime: often that demands an iron will.
- Seventy year anniversary - The grace of God gives the couple a long, very seldom granted, life together.
- Seventy two ½ year anniversary - jewels - A long life together, with many sorrows and joys, will soon end. Its value far exceeds that of the most expensive jewels.
