For a thirty year anniversary gift that the couple can share, check out the Lenox china "Florentine and Pearl" collection. It features attractive giftware and holiday items graced with faux pearls, including their elegant snowflake ornament - especially timely 30th anniversary gifts for couples who were married during the holidays.
For flower gardeners, miniature rose plants are delightful 30th anniversary gifts - especially these Jackson and Perkins white roses in a pearl planter. If your anniversary couple prefers the seashore, they'll like this whimsical open clamshell lantern that holds an orb candle resembling a pearl.
Thinking beyond real or faux pearls, consider a thirty year anniversary gift that is "pearlized" (given a pearly finish), like this photo album. A number of companies carry pearlized picture frames that make pretty 30th anniversary gifts - some a little fancier than others, and even one that looks like an antique. Colored glass mosaics can also be pearlized.
Mother of pearl, is a strong, irridescent layer of nacre (the stuff pearls are made of) found on the interior of mollusk shells. Mother of pearl is used for items like the handles on home and office utensils (e.g., salad servers, letter opener, magnifying glass), plain and fancy picture frames, drink coasters, buttons, belt buckles, and other fine candidates for 30th anniversary gifts.
For gifts with "pearl" in their names, Lenox has three patterns in fine china (Pearl Innocence, Pearl Gold, and Pearl Platinum), as well as Pearl Platinum crystal stemware and stainless flatware. Look for stemware or serving pieces in patterns that coordinate well with your recipients' own pattern.
"Pearl" destinations demonstrate creating thinking - such as dinner at a restaurant or club, a day trip to a lake or state park, or a romantic getaway to a hotel or resort with "pearl" in its name.
For something a bit different, a mother of pearl alarm clock will get your recipients' day started well. From the Khan al Khalili market of Egypt come beautifully crafted mother of pearl inlaid boxes as well as chess and backgammon boards - all handsome 30th anniversary gifts. Finally, here's a unique looking pen, made of genuine abalone mother of pearl.
And one last thought: wrapped in pearlized paper, and/or decorated with a pearl beads tied into the bow, 30th anniversary gifts of all sorts can be Pearl Anniversary gifts.
