What is the modern/contemporary tenth (10th) year wedding anniversary gift?

The tenth year of marriage celebration is the first of the major milestone anniversaries. As couples celebrate this special 10th wedding anniversary, they should think about the durability of their commitment to one another for a full decade.

The 10th Anniversary Contemporary/Modern Gift is diamond jewelry. A marriage that lasts ten years is as durable and beautiful as a diamond.

The 10th Anniversary Traditional Gift is tin or aluminum. The pliability of tin and aluminum is a symbol of how a successful marriage needs to be flexible and durable and how it can be bent without being broken.

Horrible question- we do not need trick questions-now we have re-writing of history on our quizzes-enough-how in the world was this question approved?

It's definitely tin for the tenth wedding anniversary here in the UK. I know. I live in Cornwall where tin mining was a major industry in the 19th century. You don't get diamonds until you've clocked up 60 years.

Who is the author, a jeweler? It’s TIN. The 60th anniversary is the diamond, not the 10th.

Just stop it with the subjective oriented questions. Writers, pretend your questions are for students in your high school class that you are teaching. On this question ... they would, rightfully, eat you alive...
