Valentine's Jewellery For The Unconventional

The
traditional Valentine's Day gifts are flowers, chocolates and heart shaped
jewellery and while there are plenty of people who love sticking with
tradition, and for whom it wouldn't be Valentine's Day without these gifts,
there are also people who prefer something a little extraordinary or quirky.
Giving a ring
on Valentine's Day is a classic gesture – whether it's an engagement ring, a promise
ring or an eternity ring, Valentine’s Day is renowned for being the occasion to
make a statement of commitment. If you
want to break with tradition then consider giving a different piece of
jewellery instead, such as a bracelet or earrings. A bangle or bracelet can also symbolise
eternity, as they're also circular in shape – it's the shape which makes rings
significant for commitment and marriage.
Choosing the right jewellery for an unconventional partner can be hard,
but if you stick to colours they like and seek out something with represents
their personality, you can't go wrong.
Bold, bright
stones like citrine (yellow to orange), sapphires or topaz (brilliant blue) and
garnets (rich red) are great for outgoing personalities and extroverts. Garnets in particular evoke the idea of lust
and love because red is the colour of passion, and they're a much more
affordable alternative to rubies, which can have a more subtle tone. Our Spicy Red earrings feature large oval
garnets in a modern mount and the matching necklace makes a great extra present,
alternatively you could reserve it for a birthday or anniversary. Our Cherry Bomb set is also a fantastic
Valentine's gift and with cubic zirconia forming a halo around the central
stone this design is classy, fabulous and a stand-out star of any outfit. The set comprises of earrings, a ring and a
necklace, so you can blow the budget on all three or spread them out through
other occasions.
Sapphires and
topaz have brilliance about them and the striking colour is fantastic on all
skin tones. Our topaz Devotion earrings
make the perfect Valentine's gift; the name says it all really. These stunning drop style earrings feature a
teardrop shaped topaz on a modern mount which draws inspiration from delicate
filigree work, whilst retaining a contemporary look. The Wild Spirit duo of earrings and a
necklace is also ideal for an unconventional gift; these will appeal to nature
lovers, adventurous types and free spirits alike.
For someone
unconventional yet more reserved the delicate tones of amethyst (purple) opal (iridescent)
and emerald (green) are very suitable, and as amethyst is a highly desirable
gemstone you can't go wrong. The purple
colour lends itself to blue, red, pink and purple outfits, and stands out
beautifully against white. Our Coupled
earrings, which team amethyst with topaz, are an ideal sentimental Valentine's
gift and something a bit out of the ordinary for such a special day. The twin stones complement each other just as
two people do in a relationship and this association makes these pieces ideal
for gifting.
Emeralds are
simply stunning. They have a tone
slightly more reserved than peridot, which is a very bright green, and they're
also highly sought after. The Circle of
Life earrings or necklace would make a great Valentine's gift, as the circle shape
symbolises eternity, while the emeralds flatter anyone who wears them. Their delicate green tones work really well
with a lot of other cool tones and colours so the set is very versatile, with
both modern and traditional inspirations.
Finally, our
Tutti Frutti set is a great one for gifting.
The striking and unusual design features four coloured gemstones, set
against a sterling silver and cubic zirconia backdrop which looks very elegant,
very different, yet incredibly sophisticated without verging on the traditional
looks which an unconventional person may not like. This four piece ensemble looks fantastic worn
all together and it can work in casual and more formal environments making it
the perfect gift for someone who walks in all circles of life.
