Traditional Gift Theme: Ivory*
* Historically, ivory has been the traditional 14th anniversary gift theme, but the endangerment of elephant populations has led to this being an unethical choice. As such, many people consider elephant-themed gifts (not based on ivory) as a more appropriate traditional gift.
Symbolically, the elephant encompasses the qualities of strength, stability, honor, patience, reliability and dignity. In the Hindu way of thinking, an elephant is considered the god of luck, protection and fortune, and a blessing on new projects and endeavors. In a marriage, the theme of the elephant therefore represents all of these attributes in the relationship, and serves as a blessing of good will on the future journey of the couple.

Gold jewelry represents wealth, personal power and good health.
