Coming up on 14 years of marriage? That’s a big deal! After more than a decade of supporting your partner, nurturing your relationship, and having plenty of fun along the way, marking the occasion with a beautiful gift is certainly appropriate. It’s time to celebrate!
The traditional gift for celebrating 14 years after you said “I do” is ivory, but you’ll want to stray from the real deal made from elephant tusk. However, there are plenty of symbolic ivory items or experiences that make a great alternative in its place. And as for the modern gift? It's gold, a precious metal that represents prosperity and long-lasting commitment. You can even combine both traditional and modern gifts into one present—sparkly gold and sophisticated ivory hues make for a perfect marriage. However, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to an anniversary gift, so you don't have to stick to these themes if there's something special you think your partner will love.

We made our final selection based on thoughtfulness, price point, and overall quality.

What to Look for in a 14th-Anniversary Gift
The traditional gift, ivory
While ivory is banned, it’s still seen as a precious symbol of patience, dignity, and stability, just like your marriage. “Fourteen years of marriage is a testament to patience and durability, adaptation and collaboration, and fidelity and integrity," says etiquette expert Julie Blais Comeau. She adds that you've gotten well past the "seven year itch" (double that time, in fact!) and that this anniversary is a testament to years respecting and honoring your vows.
In other words, the 14th anniversary is a momentous milestone that deserves a special gift. If you're sticking to the traditional ivory theme, we especially love the Ms Poppins and Me Paper Ivory Rose 14th Anniversary Gift or the Wulf Creek Designs Elephant Couple Wine Glasses.
The modern gift, gold
Just like your relationship after 14 years of marriage, gold is incredibly strong. It can withstand everyday wear, but it’s also flexible enough to mold into beautiful jewelry and other trinkets. Celebrating with jewelry or a piece for your home that’s decked in gold is both functional and symbolic—such as the Angara Bezel-Set Round Opal Solitaire Necklace.
