The ‘Don’t Get Caught Empty-Handed’ VDay Guide

We get it - Valentine’s day is a trying time. You’ve just used all your best gift ideas at Christmas, and now, you’re under pressure to find something even more thoughtful - a gift she will cherish that doesn’t feel too clichéd. It should be a breeze, she is the love of your life, but we know it’s not that straightforward. We. Get. It.

But fear not, for we have the ultimate trick up our sleeve - a V-Day Gift Guide for every budget. We’ve carefully considered our entire range and chosen the pieces perfect for a Valentine’s Day surprise. And no need to worry about giving the wrong impression, we’ve made sure to steer clear from rings (did we mention that we get it?).

So now that all the hard work has been done for you, all that’s left for you to do is decide what exactly will follow ‘Roses are red, violets are blue….'.

(Ok fine - we’re happy to do that too! You’ll find it at the end of this gift guide.)

For an elegant yet affordable present - Simple says it best

Whether she’s a street-style star in her own right or opts for more a classic, minimal look, some of our most striking pieces fall below $150 and are designed to be cherished for years to come. With designs available in Vermeil and Solid Gold, these are a great way to gift something that'll last forever without completely emptying your wallet.

Flowers and chocolates are fleeting, gold however ...

So we admit, buying a beautifully designed, hand-crafted piece of gold jewelry will cost you more than flowers and chocolates. But if you have the budget, say up to $500, these stunning pieces will take you a long way - so far, in fact, that you can even give her diamonds. And what is it they say about diamonds again? Oh, yeah, they're a girl's best friend.

Make it personal

When you are gifting something this special, it’s best to do it in style. Show how much thought you really put into her gift by relating it to her, and only her. Our Mini Letter Charm Pendant, our Skinny Cuff (hey - you can even engrave this one!) or our Diamond Ear Cuff Earring are all under $1,000 and are the perfect way to show that she’s one of a kind.
