Valentine’s Day Jewelry Tips

Tips for selecting the right piece of jewelry to give for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and for many men and women, that means that it’s time to start considering the perfect gift for their loved one. Jewelry is always a popular go-to, but the process of shopping for the perfect piece can seem overwhelming. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be. We’ve put together a list of things to consider when shopping for the perfect piece of jewelry for your loved one this Valentine’s Day.

Have a Budget in Mind

We’re sure you would give your valentine the world if you could, but it’s just not always financially practical. Once you have an idea of what you want to spend, contact your local jewelry store to find out what they have available in your price range. You may be surprised at the selection of beautiful items you can afford.

Know Where Your Relationship Stands

This can be tricky if you’re relationship status is “dating” due to the implication of certain stones and rings. Unless you’re married or planning to propose, rings should be off limits. Bracelets, necklaces, and earrings are generally safe bets and can be quite special and stunning.

Consider Their Personal Style and Activity Level

A luxury watch could make the perfect gift for the practical man or woman. Stud earrings are a lovely gift for someone with an active lifestyle, who may find necklaces and bracelets cumbersome. You can often find jewelry that will speak to your loved one’s profession, hobbies, or interests.

Think Outside the Box

Talk to your jeweler about a custom or unique piece that represents something special. Some ideas are pendants or charms that represent a profession, hobby, or trip, a gemstone that represents a special month, or a piece that can be engraved with a date, name, or quote.
