Origins of the 8 Year Anniversary Gift

Historically the eighth wedding anniversary would be marked in private between a couple themselves, however in recent times there has been a move towards family and friends celebrating each happy year of union along with their loved ones.

Although there was no traditional material associated with the 8th year of marriage until 1937 when the official list was created linking each year of marriage with a specific material was drawn up, the 8th anniversary is now associated with bronze. Bronze symbolizes unique properties that relate perfectly to a couple who have been married for many years.

Bronze is formed through the combination of two other metals – copper and tin. This joining of two into one is thought to represent the happy uniting bond of marriage of a couple who have survived the ups and downs of 8 years together.

Some Interesting Information About Bronze

It is well known that bronze has a long history, being used from ancient times. In fact bronze artefacts have been found dating back to the 5th millennium BC. While the earliest types of bronze were created from a mix of copper and arsenic, tin replaced the latter during the 3rd millennium BC creating the alloy that we know and use today.

Bronze has been considered a special material for centuries in China, and ancient artefacts have been found showing that it was used as an element of burial ceremonies for the wealthy and during ritual offerings. Thanks to its durable and hard nature, it was historically used to make weaponry and tools.

It is still frequently used today for a surprising number of purposes. As it cannot rust, it is popularly used in outdoor sculptures and artworks as well as in springs and bearings. It is also often found being used in the production of tools such as hammers and mallets as when it strikes a hard surface it produces no sparks.
