Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to show your partner how much you care. Gifting a loved one jewellery on Valentine’s Day is a lovely thought and certainly lasts a lot longer than flowers or chocolates. Nothing is quite the same as a well-chosen piece of jewellery that she can wear on repeat and think of you.

However, we know how difficult choosing the right piece of jewellery can be. You want it to be special and yet versatile so that she wears it every day. You want it to remind her of you but also be something that she loves and doesn’t want to take off. That can feel like hard criteria to fill. But thankfully, we’re here to help.

In this article, we will share our top Valentine’s Gift suggestions that your partner will cherish forever. Not only are these jewellery pieces some of our favourites, they’re some of our customers’ favourites, too. So, you’re sure to be inspired.

Let’s get started.

What is Valentine’s Day and Why Do We Celebrate it?

Valentine’s Day, also known as Saint Valentine’s Day, is a celebration of love on the 14th of February each year. It is believed to have originated from a Roman festival where men would draw women’s names from a lottery of sorts to be paired up with their future partner. Many would go on to get married after the festival.

The Church transformed this Roman festival into a Christian event, celebrating the life of Saint Valentine. Over time, Valentine’s Day became a day that people used to express their love and admiration for that special person in their life. This would be (and still is) typically expressed in the giving of cards and gifts, anonymously or otherwise.

The Tradition of Gifting Jewellery on Valentine’s Day

The tradition of gifting jewellery on Valentine’s Day (celebrated on the 14th of February) has been traced back to the Renaissance period. The Renaissance period is well-known for its love for art, beauty, and expression. This appreciation for beauty was often expressed by men to the women they loved; commonly in the form of gifting rings adorned with precious stones and lockets containing pictures or locks of hair.

Since then, jewellery has remained one of the most popular and meaningful Valentine’s Day gifts to present to a loved one. And it’s no wonder when jewellery has an inherent, long-lasting beauty that is seen as symbolic of the enduring nature of true love.

Choosing the Perfect Piece of Jewellery

Of course, choosing the right piece can be difficult. We recommend that it’s always worth knowing what your partner likes; do they like minimalistic jewellery or understated pieces? Are they into bold and beautiful jewellery that makes a statement? Do they prefer silver or gold? Once you know their likes and dislikes, it’s easier to make the right choice.

To inspire you, here are some of the best Valentine’s gifts for her that we think she’ll treasure forever.

A Diamond Necklace

Everyone knows the famous Marilyn Monroe song, Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend. As the lyrics say:

“Men grow cold
As girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end

But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don’t lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.”

Certainly, if you’re looking for jewellery that will symbolise your undying, inextinguishable love for your partner, there is no better choice than diamonds. An especially popular choice are our diamond initials pendant. These brilliant cut diamonds are set into an 18ct white gold pendant in your initial or hers. It’s a stunning choice and a great way to bring a little sparkle to her day.

If your partner likes slightly more subtle jewellery pieces, our Brilliant Cut Diamond Solitaire Earrings are an excellent choice. Claw-set in platinum, these beautiful earrings are made to last and are a lovely way to add a little sparkle to her outfit, without drawing lots of attention (if that’s not her thing).

Diamond earrings make for a beautiful Valentine’s Day gift and the benefit is they are suitable for wearing to any occasion. Whether you’re treating her to a special meal or you’re surprising her with a relaxing weekend away, she can wear her diamond earrings wherever and whenever she wants without looking out of place.

Pearl Drop Earrings

Pearls make for a stunning Valentine’s Day gift, not just for their beauty but also for the symbolism they hold. According to research, pearls “came to symbolise Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, who was believed to have been born from the sea. She is often represented as emerging from a shell or wearing pearl earrings in Roman art […] A pairing of pearls and ideal beauty was forged very early in art history.”

Due to their association with the goddess of love, it’s no surprise that pearls make the perfect gift for someone special on Valentine’s Day. Perhaps none are more beautiful than our Pearl Drop Earrings. Measuring 10×10.5mm with yellow gold shepherd crook fittings, these earrings are an elegant gift choice this Valentine’s Day.

Gold Curb Link Bracelet

Bracelets are also a popular gift choice to present a loved one on Valentine’s Day. They make for a meaningful yet practical gift. Our Double Curb Link Bracelet is the perfect example of this. It’s glamorous and suitable for fancy restaurants and hotel dinners. Yet it’s simple enough to be worn to work or on a night out with the girls.

If your partner loves jewellery that can be worn for many different occasions, our gold curb link bracelet is an excellent choice. We’re confident that she’ll love it and thanks to its versatility, she’ll likely wear it often, making it the perfect gift choice.
