What Is the Traditional Gift for a 35th Wedding Anniversary?

Coral is the traditional wedding gift for a 35th wedding anniversary. A popular gift choice for the 35th year is jewelry featuring red coral, a prized gem stone.

Coral is the result of the calcium carbonate produced by a type of marine animal. Positioned in clusters, these hard exoskeletons form coral reefs. While coral jewelry is a popular choice, other coral- or marine-themed gifts, such as a coral-colored accessories, a seafood dinner or a visit to a coral reef, make excellent 35th wedding anniversary choices.

Throughout history and various cultures, coral has been associated with sacred and magical properties. As recently as the 20th century, coral was worn to protect sterility.
