By the middle-to-late 1930s people began to celebrate the 1st, 10th, 20th and 30th anniversary.  The 10th anniversary is recognised as a celebration of Aluminium.  The logic of presenting gifts was that stability deserves a reward, and the more the stability the greater should be the reward.

It is a time for couples to think about the durability of their commitment.  The beauty and shine of polished aluminium is a fitting tribute to the celebration of marriage.  The marriage, like the metal, is durable and resistant, strong yet flexible.

The infinite recyclability of Aluminium could also be epitomized in ‘Eternity rings'.
