The twenty second Wedding Anniversary is symbolised by the gifts of copper.
While the metal itself is not particularly romantic, copper is
associated with Venus, the goddess of love. The word itself comes from the
name 'Cyprus' where copper mining flourished and Venus was worshiped.
The
gemstone associated with this anniversary is Spinel in all colours. Spinel
comes in a variety of colours and indeed was mistaken for many years as
Ruby, indeed the most famous is the one embedded in the English Crown.
