With Valentine’s Day just
around the corner, you may be looking for that perfect jewellery gift. It can be difficult to decide what to buy
your loved one, whether it’s a new love or you’re an established couple. But fear not: inspiration is just a visit to
your local jewellery shop away. Help and advice is at hand from your local
jeweller, together with a Valentine’s gift for every stage of your life
together.
If you’re in a new relationship, but want to show your loved one just how much they mean to you, jewellery can be a daunting-but-great choice. A tip for buying for a new girlfriend is to try to take in the accessories and jewellery pieces that she currently has; that way, you can buy something of a similar style, which will not only be something to suit her taste, but will also show how much care and attention you pay to her. A great, contemporary choice at the moment comes in the form of the Kit Heath Culture bracelets stocked by your local independent jeweller: these bracelets are a twist on the modern charm bracelet, formed of a simple length of ribbon or beaded friendship bracelet with a silver bead in the middle – elegant and stylish in one fell swoop.
Stage 2: Engagement
What
better time of year is there to propose than at Valentine’s Day? If you’re not sure what sort of engagement
ring to pop the question with, your local jeweller will be able to show you a
range of rings in different metals and colours, and with different stones. With the help of your
local independent jeweller you can then pick a ring to suit your future
fiancée’s personality. And don’t forget,
that after the engagement ring, you’ll then need a wedding ring – and a local jewellery shop
offers the perfect place to pick out your wedding rings together!
Stage 3: Parenthood
If
you’ve just become parents for the first time, and you want to show your wife
or partner just how much they mean to you and how proud you are of them for
producing your beautiful baby, a piece of jewellery this Valentine’s Day can
show your love. Lockets are becoming popular
choices for new mothers because they can house a picture of the family
within. Why not visit your local jeweller, pick a beautiful locket out and then
put a photo inside, ready for her to open on Valentine’s morning?
Stage 4: Eternity
If
you’ve been together a while but still want to show your loved one that they
mean as much to you today as they did when you were first together, there are
some beautiful pieces of jewellery available from your local jeweller to do this
with. Watches continue to be popular
choices, and your local independent jeweller can
engrave the back with a special message; alternatively, why not ask your local jeweller to custom make an eternity ring to
match or complement your wife’s wedding ring?
What could be more thoughtful than a piece of jewellery which shows off
the piece of jewellery you gave her on the day you got married? Nothing could be more special this
Valentine’s Day – or earn you more ‘good husband points’!
