Emerald is the traditional gift symbol for the 55th wedding anniversary. It is also the modern gift symbol for the 55th and 90th Wedding Anniversaries.

Emeralds are said to bring good fortune and prosperity to married couples. Emeralds symbolize eternal love and devotion, which makes them an appropriate gift for a couple celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary.

The emerald is one of the most popular precious stones in the world because of its beautiful green colour and its many positive attributes. The colour green has long been associated with nature, health, growth and fertility; all qualities that can be associated with marriage.

Emeralds are also the Birthstone for the month of May and the Zodiac Star sign for Taurus.

In early times, people thought that emeralds were one of four stones that held up the sky (the others being sapphire, ruby and diamond). They were worn to protect against illness and evil spirits and were believed to have healing powers. In fact, in medieval times they were used as amulets against poison, witchcraft and snake bites!
