About 23rd Wedding Anniversaries

Your 23rd wedding anniversary is represented by diverse symbols that give the celebrations a sparkling significance.

Silver plate is both a traditional and a modern gift – and the colour silver symbolises beauty – so this is the perfect wedding anniversary theme for your 23rd wedding anniversary.

Silver is an important reminder to you and your partner of the joys of sharing meals (with a glittering silver dinner set, of course) and the beautiful moments you enjoy with your growing family.

How to Celebrate Your 23rd Wedding Anniversary

If you opt for a silver plate gift, excellent ideas include picture frames, jewellery, cufflinks, door knockers, clocks, platters, drink-ware and ornaments.

Traditionally, the two of you will certainly want to celebrate 23 years together with a romantic dinner for two, or a party with family and friends.

Alternatively, why not up the stakes and plan a holiday to the place where you first met or were married – or any other destination you’ve both always wanted to explore but until now have never had the opportunity to visit.

Whenever you touch topaz, it touches you. It awakens a gentle fire, like wine awakens in grapes.” Quoted by: Pablo Neruda

Imperial topaz is the gemstone that symbolically commemorates the 23rd wedding anniversary. In traditional Indian belief systems, topaz is said to unlock the throat chakra, which facilitates communication and self-expression.

Therefore, topaz is thought to be beneficial to artists, writers, public speakers and others who are concerned with self-expression.

Some believe that topaz can promote virility in men, while the ancient Greeks considered it to be a powerful stone that could increase the strength of the wearer and even provide invisibility. Both the ancient Egyptians and the Romans associated yellow topaz with the Sun God.

Whatever your own personal perception of the gemstone, or beliefs, topaz makes a stunning gift for your partner – or both of you.
