Top Picks for Valentine’s Gifts
Over the years, I have slowly gotten more and more into Valentine’s Day. The only way I can explain it is that perhaps with age, and perhaps with the current climate, any little bit of joy we can add to our lives is a good thing – so why fight it? Valentine’s Day is cute and fun and there is no shame in that!
With that in mind, I pulled my Top Picks of sweet little somethings from our showroom for you to consider this Valentine’s Day. I love the idea of gifting these to a sister or a best friend, or feel free to forward to your beau for a Valentine’s treat of your own. You can find these and other of our sweetest, rosy-hued picks in our Valentine’s Shop!
1) The Constellation Necklace – $650
This beauty is a favorite style here at our shop, and for good reason. We love its edgy style yet delicate look, and the diamond accents are so sweet. 14k yellow gold, available online or in our showroom.
2) Susan Highsmith Necklaces – $825-1200
We love these dainty layering necklaces for their versatility and soft styling. Handcrafted in Brooklyn, each design carries a bit of poetry and romance to elevate your daily uniform. 18k yellow gold, available online or in our showroom.
3) Artemer Art Deco Style Diamond Necklace – $1180
These Art Deco Style necklaces are beautiful, chic, and oh-so elegant. We have one small version left in 18k white gold or get your order in for other styles and sizes. 18k white gold, available online or in our showroom.
4) Shaya Durbin Diamond Heart Pendant Necklace – $1230
If you know me, you know I am not a heart person. And yet, when I saw this Shaya Durbin pendant, I couldn’t resist it. It’s just so sweet, but not saccharine. Shaya handcrafts all of her pieces and you can feel the gorgeous texture of the material – I think this is what prevents this design from feeling over-the-top. I love this idea for Valentine’s Day! 18k yellow gold, available online or in our showroom.
5) Jennifer Dawes Morganite Hexagon Necklace – $1695
If you’re looking for a less on-the-nose take on the Valentine’s theme, I love the idea of gifting this soft pink morganite necklace by Jennifer Dawes. Jennifer handmakes her pieces from her studio in California and this particular beauty is set on an adjustable 36″ chain for nice versatility. 18k yellow gold, available online or in our showroom.
