traditional wedding anniversary gifts

A gorgeous cabochon of onyx glistens magically in this pendant bracelet from Bali. Artisan Wayan Lasti centers the sterling silver chain with the mesmerizing gemstone, which is embraced by intricate leafy motifs. Black onyx gemstones are traditionally known to be gifted on a 10th wedding anniversary, and are believed by some to offer protection.

Love knows no boundaries and its force has the power to transform scrap metal pieces and auto parts into a sculpture with strong romantic undertones. Armando Ramírez recycles spark plugs into the lovers' bodies, thick wires for their arms and limbs, and discarded pieces from a die machine for their heads and feet. The bench and base are made of metal sheets from die machines. Ramírez masters this original art form as he successfully conveys the warmth of emotion with cold metal pieces.
