Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching, and it always gives a lovely excuse to spoil your loved ones. According to a recent survey, jewelry tops the list of presents, with Americans planning to spend $6.5 billion on it. Whether you want to buy something special for a partner, a friend, a family member, or even yourself, precious accessories are a great way to send your message of love and care.
But what piece should you choose – shiny and bold, chic and simple, or maybe something in between? We have curated the perfect guide so your giftee will open a beautiful box and hug you with a happy smile on their face.
Elegance of Total Black
Those who favor an all‑black wardrobe for both daily wear and festive occasions are usually very picky with the accessories and jewelry choices. Black-on-black styling is a statement in itself, and the right jewelry can elevate it even further.
A combination of black and red speaks confidence and elegance, so jewelry featuring statement rubies and neutral diamonds adds a touch of glamour. Imagine a clean-cut black dress or a classic maxi skirt with a lightweight black cardigan complemented with asymmetrical cluster-shaped earrings with a leaf-like arrangement. The gemstones are arranged in a cascading pattern, with pear-cut and marquise-cut rubies and diamonds positioned at varying angles. These gemstones add vibrancy to an all-black ensemble and will get many compliments.
Into the Wild
If your giftee likes wearing animal print, they definitely like attention and are rebellious in their heart. Whether it’s leopard spots, zebra stripes, or snakeskin textures, the key to pulling off this bold trend lies in embracing the wild energy rather than taming it. But what accessories will suit such an outfit? The answer may surprise you: pearls and sculptural silver. Soft, luminous pearls bring an unexpected refinement to the fierce patterns of animal prints. Delicate pearl drop earrings balance the intensity, adding a touch of quiet elegance that keeps the look from feeling overwhelming. A suede necklace with a sculptural silver pendant is another perfect way to enhance the graphic chaos of animal prints. After all, bold fashion doesn’t always require loud accessories.
Carrie Bradshaw But For Sneakers
For some people, sneakers have become more than footwear; they represent a lifestyle. Whether it’s Adidas Sambas, New Balance 530s, or classic Vans, they are the foundation of an effortlessly cool wardrobe. This street-style aesthetic goes best with sleek, sculptural, and subtly bold, chunky silver bands or fluid open rings. They complement relaxed tailoring, oversized silhouettes, and sporty essentials without overpowering the look. And if you’re worried that your giftee might already have enough of such rings? Believe it – there’s no such thing as too many. Stacking rings, mixing widths, or playing with asymmetry only enhances their appeal.
The Jewelry Every Wardrobe Needs
If you are still in doubt after reading our tips, we have some foolproof choices to suggest – initial necklaces and tennis bracelets.
The initial necklace is a sentimental gift that works for every personality and wardrobe. A great benefit of this accessory is that it can be found in various styles and shapes. A minimalistic and charming alphabet letter pendant or personalized initial combined with a droplet birthstone necklace is easy to integrate into any neck stack. Gemstones will unquestionably be a go-for if your loved ones opt for a pop of color. A pendant adorned with birthstones or glistering diamonds is perfect for styling solo; however, such styles will definitely cause a wow effect.
Tennis bracelets will never go out of style, and no matter what the recipient’s favorite style is, this piece will become one of the most wearable jewels. These armbands can be effortlessly paired with jeans and a white shirt or evening dress. And each time your loved one wears your present (and it will be often, we are sure), it will remind them of you and the happy moments you had together.
