Why the 6th Anniversary Is the Iron Anniversary

Traditionally, the 6th wedding anniversary is celebrated with iron, symbolizing the strength, durability, and resilience of a lasting marriage. Just like a forged bond between two people, iron represents the trials weathered and the strength that builds over time.

At Old West Iron, we believe gifts should be just as enduring as the love they honor — made by hand, forged in fire, and full of meaning.
