About 7th Wedding Anniversaries
The key symbols representing your 7th wedding anniversary are copper and wool – both known for producing heat.
Highlighting warmth, comfort, safety and security, these elements are certainly appropriate (and necessary) ingredients for consolidating a healthy and stable marriage.
So happily reflect on those traits as you celebrate seven years together.
How to Celebrate a 7th Wedding Anniversary
The 7th wedding anniversary is a more important milestone than some people might immediately realise.
After all, the phrase “seven year itch” derives from the conventional wisdom that – if a couple have made it through their seventh year of marriage without falling victim to divorce – it is highly likely they will stay married for the rest of their lives.
Now, that is really something to celebrate in style.
I think it’s wonderful that you’re married. I think it’s just elegant.” Quoted by The Girl, played by Marilyn Monroe in 1955 romantic comedy film “The Seven-Year-Itch”
7th Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Him, Her… and the Couple
You could choose to buy something from each theme or splash out on some stunning jewellery. There are many different items that showcase your love and appreciation of a solid marriage that is entering its eighth year.

Copper is one of the two symbolic gifts that are traditionally chosen to celebrate a 7th wedding anniversary.
Copper has long been a symbol of both prosperity and luck. And couples who make it to this milestone have certainly experienced good fortune in first of all finding each another and subsequently spending seven happy years together.
There is a wide range of copper gifts that are both practical and meaningful. If you are handy with metal-working tools, you could even make something yourself from copper.
Fashion jewellery using copper and onyx and yellow sapphire gemstones is a wonderfully personal anniversary gift that will always be treasured.
