Modern 50th Wedding Anniversary Theme

Although the traditional theme for your 50th year as a married couple is gold the modern day equivalent has a slight variation and suggests gold jewellery and what better way to impress your loved one with some stunning earrings, a ring, or even matching watches for each other.
As is is such a major milestone the gemstone list offers no alternative. Thus you can have a theme of gold throughout. As you can eat gold leaf, you could have a nice meal with gold leaf making an appearance or you could simply be content with some beautiful gold jewellery.
