One of the perks of our job is that we are constantly reminded that romance is alive and kicking! And that ideas about love and marriage and anniversaries come in all shapes and sizes. It’s well known that, as tradition goes, silver is a gift for a 25th wedding anniversary and gold is for a 50th, but what’s the material for seven years of wedded bliss? Well, as it turns out, it’s copper!
A customer of ours came in recently with a very special idea for his wife and their seventh wedding anniversary celebrations. He had a 5 cent copper coin from the year of their marriage (2008) which he wanted to have made into a pendant. We looked at various design possibilities with him and agreed that a 9ct rose gold locket would be a wonderful way of encasing the coin. The warm pinky hue of the rose gold works wonderfully with the colour of the copper.
We set about making the locket and sent our customer off to think about the engraving that he might like. He pulled out all the stops and came up with some heartfelt ideas – he found a Celtic love knot for the front and then had the symbol for copper on the back along with a lovely inscription. We sent this out to our expert hand engraver and I’m sure you’ll agree the end result looks incredible! The recipient is a very lucky lady as she has a thoughtful, romantic and inspired husband – we hope she gets lots of wear out of this truly original piece.
Our lovely customer sent us a testimonial…

I wanted something special for my wife on our anniversary and the expression on her face when I gifted the necklace to her, the ladies in Stonechat certainly achieved that.
