Why Valentine’s Day?
Valentine’s Day is the most romantic day in the calendar - but why? The day is named after St Valentine, a Roman priest who secretly married couples despite it being banned by the Emperor. He ultimately gave his life for what he believed in and February 14th was marked in his honour. However, the origins of Valentine’s Day go back much further to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, celebrated in mid-February to honour fertility and the start of spring. By Victorian times, lovers would exchange tokens and handwritten notes on Valentine’s Day, which eventually evolved into the celebration we know today.
5 things to consider when buying jewellery as a Valentines Day gift
Thinking of choosing jewellery for your loved one this Valentine’s Day? Follow these five tips to ensure your gift is meaningful and timeless. For more guidance, book an appointment with one of our jewellery experts—they’ll help you find the perfect piece.
Consider their personal style
Look at the jewellery they already wear. Do they prefer yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold? Is their style bold and statement-making or delicate and minimalist? A gift that reflects their personal taste will feel “just right” and show how much you notice the little details.
Jewellery with a deeper meaning
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean generic gifts. Consider the symbolism behind your choice: a heart-shaped gemstone represents romance, while a diamond solitaire signifies enduring love and commitment. Incorporating their birthstone adds a personal touch.
Choose a gift that lasts
Whether it’s a statement piece for special occasions or something for everyday wear, choose jewellery that’s built to last. Precious metals like gold and platinum, perfectly set diamonds, and expert craftsmanship ensure your gesture stands the test of time.
Make sure it’s practical as well as beautiful
A showstopping piece is tempting, but make sure it suits their lifestyle. Someone who works with their hands may prefer a secure bezel setting, while those with an active lifestyle might appreciate lightweight earrings for daily wear.
Consider the 4 C’s
When choosing diamond jewellery, the 4 Cs — cut, colour, clarity, and carat — are key. A well-cut diamond sparkles brilliantly. White gold and platinum complement cooler-toned diamonds, while yellow gold pairs beautifully with warmer tones.
