With Valentine’s Day sneaking up on us in mid-February, it’s time to pick out the perfect gift to make this a day to remember, and we are sure Cupid will agree that there is simply nothing better than a lasting gesture that will sparkle for years to come.
Since the 18th Century, the tradition of expressing love through gifting has been strongly embedded within society and due to the precious nature of jewellery, it has long been a Valentine’s Day favourite. Being the unequalled token of everlasting devotion and luxury, diamond jewellery is the forerunner on every Valentine’s wish list.
So, where do you begin?
We have put together a list of adornments to entice the soul and make the heart skip a beat as you warm up for the day of love and romance.
Give Her Rose Cut Diamonds Instead of Roses
Why buy her roses when you can buy her a Rose Cut Diamond that will last forever? The term “rose” comes from the many unique facets on this antique cut diamond shape, which resembles the petals unfolding in a rose bud as it starts to bloom. The term ‘rose’ comes from the triangular facets on this antique cut shape, which resemble the unfolding petals of a rose bud. A standard rose cut features a flat base with a domed top consisting of at least 6 triangular facets (and up to 24 on a full rose cut). Unlike Old Cut diamonds—which are three-dimensional brilliant cuts with high crowns and deep pavilions—rose cuts sit low against the metal, offering a soft, romantic glow.
This pair of gorgeous Old Cut Diamond Stud Earrings set in coolly complementary glimmering Platinum is the perfect piece for a romantic Valentine’s Day gift.
BLING on the Love!
Bling has a new look, and this time with a new pair of dancing shoes on! Modern and innovative, our range of dancing diamond jewellery, expertly set to twinkle with the body’s natural movement, is sure to make her want to slap on some dancing shoes and hit the town. Due to the constant motion of a dancing diamond piece, this breakthrough in jewellery design creates a bedazzling sparkle unmatched by traditionally set diamonds.
Invest in this exciting concept and truly impress the love of your life – not only will they make you want to dance, but they will perfectly match the sparkle in her eyes and make you feel just that extra bit of “bling”.
Blending contemporary style and classic charm, these dancing diamond earrings exude class and timeless appeal and will complement and enhance day-to-night looks with effortless ease. View our Star-Shaped Dancing Diamond Earrings.
Two Is Better Than One
If you like the idea of a joint gift this Valentine’s Day, why not buy her a set of jewellery adornments she can choose to wear independently or simultaneously to make the perfect pair. We suggest the flawless combination of elegance and playful romance: a pair of solitaire diamond studs with a statement pendant hung on a delicate neck chain. Subtle, statement and perfect to pair with any attire – day or night.
An easy go-to would be a set of Four Claw or Six Claw Diamond Studs paired with a four- or six-claw Solitaire Diamond Pendant on a delicate Neck Chain. View our Solitaire Earrings and Solitaire Pendant online.
