8th Anniversary Gift Ideas - Bronze Gifts for Men and Women
What is a great gift for celebrating an 8th wedding anniversary? Traditionally, the 8th anniversary theme is bronze. Bronze is a red coloured metal, made of copper and tin (and sometimes other metals), which when alloyed together, have the colour of copper but with a stronger durability.
Bronze has many applications. Historically, it was used for armour, weaponry, door hinges, tools and to support buildings. More recently, it has been used in the manufacture of medals, transportation and of course coins.
Giving a gift of a bronze coin on your 8th wedding anniversary, not only honours a tradition but it acts as a milestone to commemorate another year of marriage, union or friendship.
Our bronze coins are all circulated and have a story of their own to tell before they reach us. Using traditional techniques, we make these bronze coins into the perfect 8th wedding anniversary gift, suitable for both men and women.
Here are some examples of the beautiful variations of designs we have on the website featuring bronze British coins.

The bronze British farthing is an iconic coin and this Queen Elizabeth II farthing is a perfect gift for an 8th anniversary. It has a portrait of the Queen on one side and on the reverse the elusive wren.
The wren symbolises strength, family bonds and protection. All the things that make a good marriage.
Our domed half penny coin is coupled with 9ct rose gold and a rose gold vermeil chain. This glorious coin depicts Sir Francis Drake's ship The Golden Hind. This beautiful pendant is a perfect 8th anniversary gift due to its connotations to discovery, journeys and the tides of the ocean. Our journey through life isn't always smooth, but full of discovery and hopefully joyful with many memories made along the way.
To make a real feature of the previously mentioned wren, Prenoa frames the bronze coin for a decadent 8th anniversary gift. Mixing metals has become very popular in recent years.

The sterling silver mount is strong and traditional, whilst the chain and toggle bar clasp are excellent quality, making this a true heirloom piece.
Celtic coins are ornate and beautifully made. This bronze two pence coin is minted in bronze and features the most delicious Celtic bird in an ornate swirl pattern. The coin has been simply polished and a bail added, to avoid detracting from the beauty of the coin.
