Maybe as a finish if you’re looking at new bathroom fixtures or drawer pulls as you indulge your inner-Napier. There is, however, another time, and that’s your eighth wedding anniversary, since bronze is the traditional gift. The more contemporary choice is linen, but we’ve always gone the traditional path.
The chart says bronze is also the anniversary gift for a couple’s 19th wedding anniversary, or in our particular case, 2035, which seems like the far-flung future, instead of a decade away.
Bronze used to be the “it” metal, though. Like, there’s a whole age named after it, and archeologists are always turning up bronze spearheads from the Bronze Age.
Buying your wife a bronze spearhead is not something I’d recommend though, assuming you could even track one down. So, what do you get?
Well, luckily enough, North Little Rock is blessed to have Stacy Bowers making bronze jewelry for her Bang Up Betty website.
I wanted something different and emailed her with what I was looking for and what I could spend.
My first choice, a smallish bronze sculpture or wall hanging, wasn’t doable.
“I only have a jewelry kiln, so it only fires small pieces,” Stacy wrote in an email. “It would be a really small wall hanging. I could do a bronze piece of jewelry for sure.”
I thought “G” earrings, my wife’s initials would be cool, so I asked. And Stacy said that would be very doable and they’d be one of a kind; while she had a pendant version, she wasn’t doing earrings in that style.
They could be ready before the anniversary, which made it even better.
Anyway, they were well received, and if you need some really cool art, or jewelry or whatever, give Stacy a call, or an email or fly over a carrier pigeon, whatever you prefer.

You don’t really think much about bronze.
