The Tin or Aluminum is the traditional 10th year anniversary metal. Tin is a silvery metal that resist corrosion and is used to coat other metals to protect them from corrosion. Aluminum is the same as far as its resistance to corrosion. These two metals are meant to symbolize that in a relationship, you must be able to bend and compromise yourself in order to grow and go to the next level. The blue sapphire is a precious stone made out of aluminum oxide. The blue of the sapphire can be altered to be almost flawless by the heating of the stone at high temperature. A good place to look for blue sapphires is at Zales.com and their many outlet stores. Valentine's Day is coming up in a few weeks and they are selling a lot of the jewelry at 70% off.
