45th Wedding Anniversary Gifts

The official 45th wedding anniversary stone is the classic sapphire.  

A strong and resilient gemstone, the sapphire has long been a symbol of the resilience and strength shared by two people. Its bold and vibrant colour reflects a love that continues to grow brighter as the years pass.  

Sapphire is also thought to represent faithfulness, wisdom, truth, and calmness, all important ingredients for building a long and happy marriage. This stone is also significant for its links to royalty and nobility, worn for centuries by rulers as a form of spiritual protection. 

Celebrating a blue sapphire anniversary is a special milestone, one that should be marked with joy, hope and everlasting love—the same qualities that the stone itself represents.

Sapphire is both the traditional and modern gift for a 45th anniversary.  

While trends come and go, sapphire jewellery is forever in style, long cherished for its timelessness and versatile appeal. 

For the perfect 45th wedding anniversary gift, combine classical elegance by choosing sapphire jewellery in a modern design to provide the best of both worlds, like a sapphire and diamond dot dash necklace with matching hoops. 

Add another piece to your gift featuring other coloured precious gemstones that will complement or contrast with your sapphire—for example, a ruby pendant, a diamond ring or a pair of aquamarine studs. This can give your anniversary gift a stylish and unique twist while still making it a memorable one. 

Or choose a sapphire piece that reflects your partner’s distinct personality and style. Instead of a more traditional pendant or ring, present them with an Evil Eye pendant for continued good fortune or a bubble ring, illuminating glamour at all angles.

45 years of marriage is special and should be celebrated in a way that brings you and your partner even closer together. 

For something intimate, have a romantic meal out or at home, setting the mood with candles and your favourite music. After dinner, give the one you love a beautiful piece to remind them of this special night, like a pair of sapphire drop earrings, a diamond ring or a locket containing a photo of you both. 

Or let everyone share in the festivities and celebrate your sapphire anniversary with your family and friends. Bring back those cherished memories by taking some inspiration from your big day—for example, serving similar food to your wedding menu or playing songs that you danced to at your reception.  

Surprise your partner with a special 45 year anniversary gift like a sapphire and diamond ring or a pair of sapphire halo studs—a timeless reminder of an endless love.
