Sapphire 45th Anniversary Sundial Gift – A Tribute to a Love as Deep as the Ocean

The 45th wedding anniversary is traditionally represented by sapphire, a gemstone that symbolises wisdom, strength, and everlasting love. The Sapphire Anniversary Sundial is a stunning tribute to this milestone, designed to capture the enduring beauty of a relationship that has stood strong through the decades.


Handcrafted in solid recycled brass, this sundial is finished in a deep sapphire blue, mirroring the richness and depth of the sapphire gemstone. The inscription "Happy Anniversary – 45 Wonderful Years Together (1980 – 2025)" makes it a meaningful and lasting tribute to nearly half a century of love and commitment.


Designed for both indoor and outdoor display, this sundial includes a classic ornamental stand for elegant home placement. For those who prefer to showcase it outside, an optional garden sundial stand is available, allowing it to serve as a timeless centrepiece.


For a truly unique touch, personalisation is available, enabling couples to engrave their names, a memorable date, or a heartfelt message. Arriving in a luxurious black embossed gift box, this sundial is the perfect way to honour forty-five years of unwavering devotion.


Engraved with the words “Happy Anniversary – 45 Years of Love and Commitment (1980 – 2025),” this sundial is a lasting tribute to a love that has remained strong through the decades. Whether displayed as a statement piece indoors or placed in a garden, it serves as a daily reminder of an unbreakable bond.


Each sundial is accompanied by an ornamental stand, offering easy indoor display. For those who prefer to place their sundial outdoors, an optional sundial stand provides a secure and elegant way to showcase it in a garden setting.


A personal engraving option is also available, allowing for a custom message that makes this sundial even more unique and sentimental. Delivered in a luxurious black embossed gift box, this sundial is the perfect way to honour forty-five years of love, capturing the beauty and depth of a lifelong commitment.

Love endures, and so do our sundials. Two coats of lacquer will fully protect your solid aluminium sundial from even the harshest ravages of winter. What’s more, there’s no fading, no need to re-polish, and a simple wipe clean will have your sundial looking as good as ‘blue’.

Every sundial includes a triangular gnomon designed to cast the shadow. It comes with a display stand suitable for shelf placement, featuring a screw for attachment, as well as two additional screws to secure the gnomon firmly in position.

Best customer service ever

What better way to mark the celebration of a 40 year marriage than a working "timepiece". Love, like time, continues on <3 An authentic hand forged piece by an independent business that is schooling the craft with vocational artisans.
