Copper Wedding: The symbol of the 7th wedding anniversary among our neighbors

In France, the seventh wedding anniversary is celebrated with wool, a symbol of warmth and comfort. But did you know that for many of our European neighbors, such as Germany, Spain, and Italy, this seventh anniversary is associated with a warm and characterful metal: copper?

The "Copper Wedding" is a powerful tradition that celebrates a love that has been polished and strengthened over time. But why this metal in particular? What is its significance?

Let's discover this dazzling symbol that honors seven years of union.

The Symbolism of Copper: Warmth, Connection and Durability

Copper is a metal unlike any other. Known since prehistoric times, it is beautiful, useful, and full of meaning. For a couple celebrating their seventh anniversary, it represents:

• Warmth and Passion: With its warm color and pink highlights, copper is a metal that evokes the warmth of home and the passion that continues to drive the couple.
• Conduction: Copper is one of the best conductors of electricity and heat. It's a wonderful metaphor for love, which conducts emotions, transmits energy, and strengthens the connection between two people.
• Durability that Becomes Beautiful: Copper is a durable metal that develops a unique patina over time. Like copper, a seven-year-old love is no longer new; it has lived, and the small marks of time are what give it its beauty and unique character.

How Do Our Neighbors Celebrate the Copper Wedding?

This tradition gives rise to gifts that combine the useful with the aesthetic:

• In Germany, it is common to give decorative copper items, such as high-quality pots and pans, as gifts that symbolize the heart of the home.
• In Italy, the gift can be a handcrafted copper jewel, for its simple and warm beauty.
