The seventeenth Wedding Anniversary is symbolised by the gift of watches as a
personal time piece.
Seventeenth wedding anniversary gifts can include
either historical style watches or elegantly and elaborately decorated
time pieces.
The gemstone associated with the
seventeenth wedding anniversary is the amethyst and citrine.
Citrine
is said to diminishes
self-destructive tendencies by raising self-esteem. Good for overall
emotional well-being.
Amethyst
is considered a powerful aid to creative thinking, spiritual
awareness and healing. Amethyst is said to soothe and clam the mind, raise
the spirit and protect against negative vibrations. It is the birthstone
for the zodiac sign of Aquarius.
As the years pass the
materials for which the anniversaries are noted become more valuable and
more durable. A type of parallel for the longer lasting marriage.
