Traditional 14-Year Anniversary Gifts
Historically, the traditional 14-year anniversary gift is ivory. However, poaching and the ivory trade are illegal and have severe ecological and economic consequences. Instead, shop elephant-themed or off-white gifts to ethically honor the year's theme. Ivory gifts originated from Hindu mythology and often symbolize luck and protection. Like a couple celebrating 14 wonderful years together, elephants are known to develop strong, intimate bonds with each other. When it's done ethically, ivory anniversary gifts are a beautiful way to represent unyielding love and good fortune for the years to come. Shop our favorite traditional gifts for the 14th anniversary below.

Unique 14-Year Anniversary Gifts
While gold jewelry and ivory gifts for him, her or them are the milestone's official themes, there are other 14-year anniversary symbols. The anniversary flower is the dahlia which is a vibrant bloom that represents beauty, love and commitment. The designated color is ivory, echoing the traditional anniversary material, and opals are the official gemstones. These iridescent stones are believed to spark passion and romance. (And who doesn't want more of that in a loving relationship?) If you're in the mood to swap tradition for something unexpected, we've also included some cool alternatives that break the mold.
Diamond and Opal Necklace
We love gifts that incorporate more than one anniversary theme, like this opal necklace.

Jewelry isn't the only way to incorporate the 14-year anniversary stone into your gift. If you're looking for an opal-themed present that's just as romantic as a shiny new bauble, look no further.
