Modern 45th Anniversary Theme for Gifts: Sapphire
Indicating successful love, the sapphire has been rumoured to lose its blue shade should the wearer's affections wane. Giving a blue sapphire as a 45th anniversary gift symbolises the lasting love between a couple who have been married for 45 years.
Gemstone: Sapphire
Alternate Stone: Alexandrite
Colour: Blue
Floral Theme: Blue Iris or **Blue Rose
The blue iris, simple yet elegant, has a meaning of hope and faith.
