When it comes to anniversary milestones, few are as symbolic and enduring as the iron anniversary. Traditionally celebrated in the 6th year of marriage, iron represents the strength, resilience, and steadfast love that a couple builds together over time.

At Old West Iron, we honor that tradition with hand-forged iron gifts made to last—crafted with care in our Idaho forge by American artisans. Whether you're shopping for your spouse or a special couple in your life, here's why iron makes the perfect anniversary gift—and a few ideas to inspire you.

Why Iron for the 6th Anniversary?

Iron is a symbol of:

• Durability – like a relationship that has weathered life’s tests

• Strength – forged through time, just like metal in the fire

• Timelessness – with care, iron lasts for generations

Gifting iron is a meaningful way to say: “We’re solid. We’ve been through the fire and came out stronger.”
