Why gold for the fiftieth anniversary
Fifty years is the golden anniversary on the traditional, modern and gemstone lists alike. Gold does not tarnish or fade, which is the point: it is the metal for a marriage that has lasted half a century.
Many couples mark the fiftieth with new gold bands, or with a gold and diamond piece that can be passed down. Every piece is solid gold, never plated or filled.
