55th wedding anniversary: emerald
Almost every emerald has tiny flaws and fractures inside, which jewelers call “jardin,” French for garden, and their pattern means no two stones are alike. Fifty-five years of marriage leave similar marks: the times things were hard and the fights you laugh about now. Together they make a garden that belongs only to you and can’t be copied.

How to spend the day
Spend an afternoon at a palm house or botanical garden conservatory, where it’s warm and green even in winter. Sit on a bench among the palms and take turns sharing what you remember from your wedding day.
Tradition
Few couples reach their emerald anniversary, since it takes marrying fairly young and growing old together. It’s not unusual for three or even four generations to gather around the anniversary table.
