14th Anniversary Gifts: Ivory (now alternative materials)
Fourteen years was traditionally ivory, which now means anything in that pale, luminous palette: bone china, pale woods, fossilised ivory, or simply cream-coloured alternatives. The modern gift is gold jewellery, a warm counterpart to year ten’s diamond.
Ivory (now alternative materials)
Originally ivory; modern interpretations use bone china, pale woods, and cruelty-free alternatives.

Common questions about 14th anniversary gifts.
What is the traditional 14th anniversary gift?
Ivory historically; today, ethical alternatives like bone china, pale woods, and cream-coloured materials.
What is the modern 14th anniversary gift?
Gold jewellery — bands, earrings, pendants, or solid-gold accents.
Is real ivory acceptable as a gift?
No. Ivory is heavily restricted internationally and not appropriate as a contemporary anniversary gift. Use the symbolism without the material.
