21 Pieces Of Valentine’s Day Jewelry Worth The Price Tag
We considered every budget (and every heart-shaped earring on the market).
February, just like Sabrina Carpenter, is short and sweet — and extra delicious if you have a Valentine come Feb. 14. A Valentine doesn’t need to be a long-term significant other: It can be your BFF, your mom, or whoever you can send memes to and not be judged by. Whoever you feel emotionally and romantically betrothed to, celebrating love calls for drinks, dressing up, and some equally enchanting jewels.
Giving and receiving jewelry, especially when it comes to V-Day pieces, can be a tricky game. Do you go all-out and get the largest heart earrings you can source? Do you buy them a ring and hope it doesn’t come off as buying them that ring? Whether you’re shopping for yourself or amassing a list to subtly drop into your boyfriend’s lap, we’ve considered all ways of adorning ears, necks, and wrists with pieces that have rubies, hearts, flowers, or sometimes, none of the above. Keep scrolling to get some inspiration or swipe your card.
