Over the years, Valentine’s Day has expanded from being a day to express your love your partner to being a day dedicated to celebrating your love for family, friends, pets and more.
Post Covid, occasion-related spends on jewellery have risen world over. In India, too, the trend has caught on and jewellers are wooing consumers with their variety of designs to celebrate the day of love.
Heart of the matter
For those who want everyone to know they are in love, heart-shaped jewellery is an apt gift. The heart as a shape was first used to represent love at the end of the Middle Ages and continues to find favour even today.
Currently, they are all the rage so don’t dismiss it for being cliché. Jewellers are giving the classic silhouette a contemporary twist. Pick from twin hearts that beat as one, hearts entwined with gold bands to symbolise strength and timeless love, diamond-studded charm necklaces or minimalistic rings, earrings and pendants crafted in the shape of a heart to convey your emotions for a loved one.
Ruby Romance
Rubies with their deep red and pink hues are associated with love and passion. For those who don’t want to wear their hearts on their sleeve but still want to celebrate the joy and happiness that love brings with it, can find romance in rubies set in ear studs, statement danglers, or rings.
Swirling circles
Immortalise your whirlwind romance with swirling circles woven into the jewellery design. Circular motifs also convey eternal or infinite love. For a bold look, pick concentric circular designs defined by round diamonds. The Halo effect is another popular style that makes the central stone appear larger than it really is. It also had a magical element to it.
Flower Showers
Instead of a bouquet of roses, pick perennial blossoms cast in gold and encrusted with diamond and coloured gemstones this Valentine’s Day. They will serve as a source of happiness for years to come. Shower your love with floral ear studs, diamond-studded ear climbers for the fashion forward, or elaborate patterns woven with floral motifs.
It’s all written in the stars
Crescent moon and star designs have been trending for some time now but a love that leaves you starry-eyed deserves to be celebrated with jewellery that says it all. The sun, the moon and stars have powerful associations with fate, love, luck, and cosmic connections. Instead of saying lines like, ‘I love you to the moon and back’ or ‘our stars are aligned’, let the jewellery do all the talking.
