5 Unique Jewelry Ideas for Valentine’s Day: Gifts That Speak from the Heart

A bouquet of red roses is a lovely Valentine’s Day gift, but it doesn't last very long. The roses will sit in a vase for a few days before starting to wilt. A box of chocolates is also a nice gift, but it doesn’t hold a lot of meaning behind it. And like the roses, that box of chocolates isn’t likely to last. 

If you want to get a gift that’s long-lasting and sentimental, you should get your Valentine some jewelry. Not just any piece of jewelry. Look at these unique and romantic jewelry ideas and get inspired:

1. Birthstone Jewelry

What’s your Valentine’s birthstone? If you’re not sure, it’s an easy puzzle to solve. As long as you know the month they were born in, you can find the right stone to match.

These are the birthstones:

●       January: Garnet

●       February: Amethyst

●       March: Aquamarine

●       April: Diamond

●       May: Emerald

●       June: Pearl, Alexandrite, Moonstone

●       July: Ruby

●       August: Peridot

●       September: Sapphire

●       October: Opal, Tourmaline

●       November: Citrine

●       December: Topaz, Tanzanite, Turquoise

You should get them a piece of jewelry that incorporates that stone into the design. Find ready-made designs with their specific birthstone through our website – we have categories dedicated to each month/stone.

Birthstones are believed to carry a lot of symbolic meaning and are closely tied to one’s horoscope. So, if your Valentine knows their astral chart and is constantly reading the Co-Star app, a birthstone gift is sure to impress!

3. Permanent Bracelets

Make a grand gesture with permanent bracelets. Permanent bracelets are welded together to create a seamless chain. It won’t have a clasp or hook so you can take it off at the end of the day. It’s meant to be worn forever.

Permanent bracelets carry a lot of meaning. The “unbreakable” chain symbolizes the unbreakable bond that the wearers have, whether that bond is platonic or romantic. With this matching gift, you’re saying that you’re connected for life.

While permanent bracelets make bold statements, their style is much more subtle. Usually, these are simple and delicate gold chains, maybe with a small charm attached. The simple style makes it ideal for everyday wear, so you can do things like work, exercise, bathe and sleep without your bracelet bothering you. It will feel like it’s part of you.

Permanent bracelets need to be attached by professional jewelers. It’s not something that can be done at home! This is one of the personalized jewellery services that we offer at our boutique. If you’re hoping to get matching permanent bracelets for Valentine’s Day, we’re here to help.

4. Engraved Jewelry

Remember having a crush as a kid? You’d carve your initials and your crush’s initials into trees, school desks and anything else you could get away with. This Valentine’s Day, recreate this gesture by engraving your initials into jewelry. Use rose gold jewelry for an elegant touch – the metal is a sweet and subtle nod to this romantic holiday. Your Valentine will appreciate it a lot more than defacing property.

Your initials aren’t the only romantic engravings you can add to jewelry. You can add a special date, like an anniversary, or a meaningful message. 

If you’re hoping to pop the question this Valentine’s Day, think about engraving the ring. In medieval times, people gave posy rings, which were gold rings engraved with words and poems, to their lovers. Continue this historic and romantic tradition by engraving your engagement ring with something special.

What if you haven’t found the ring yet? Take a look at these engagement rings for a romantic Valentine’s Day – one of them might be the perfect pick.

5. Custom Jewelry

You want to give your Valentine a gift that’s like no other. You want something that speaks to their unique personality, their sense of style and their spirit. The best way to do that is to make a custom piece just for them. Book a consultation with one of our designers to talk about the gift idea that you want to commission.

Now, if you’re worried that your custom creation won’t be absolutely perfect, there is something you can do to guarantee they’ll be happy with the final piece. Bring them along to the consultation! Your Valentine can discuss what they’re interested in with the custom jeweler. Then, you can be confident they’ll love the final piece. This is a practical solution that you can turn into a beautiful bonding experience.

Custom jewelry takes time to make. So, it might not be ready for the holiday. If you don’t like the idea of handing your Valentine nothing on the holiday, you can give placeholder jewelry. This is a common practice for people who are customizing engagement rings – they give placeholder rings. It’s a kind gesture that lets them know you care, but that the “real” gift is in the works.

Why You Should Pick Jewelry

While standard Valentine’s presents like flowers and chocolates are nice, they don’t have the same impact as jewelry. Jewelry won’t disappear in a matter of days. That’s a gift that can last forever.

And as you can see, jewelry can be extremely meaningful. It can be packed with symbolism, like a permanent bracelet or birthstone earrings, and it can be perfectly unique, like a custom-made pendant or an engraved engagement ring. 

So, don’t settle for any standard gift this Valentine’s Day. Give your Valentine a gift that’s as exceptional as they are.
