Valentine’s Day Gifts That Last Beyond February 14
The right piece of jewellery shows your love every day.
Tiffany & Co.
Valentine’s Day arrives every year with the subtlety of a heart-shaped box and the emotional complexity of a prix-fixe menu. There are flowers destined to wilt, chocolates designed to disappear, and a collective agreement to pretend this is all very spontaneous. Jewellery, however, refuses to play along. It doesn’t expire, it doesn’t melt, and it doesn’t ask to be Instagrammed before it’s enjoyed. Instead, it’s worn, reworn, layered, borrowed, and eventually imbued with a meaning far more interesting than the occasion that inspired it. In a celebration built on grand gestures and a short shelf life, jewellery is the rare Valentine’s gift that feels stylishly immune to the whole thing. And so, these are our picks for jewellery that will be cherished well beyond February 14.
Clash de Cartier has been turning heads since its 2019 launch, and the reverence hasn’t slowed down for a second. Clash is jewellery for someone who loves elegance but has that je ne sais quoi of the unapologetically cool. As a collection known for its distinctive studded mesh, Clash de Cartier is expanding its repertoire just in time for Valentine’s Day with extra-large volumes and adding coloured stones: dramatic onyx, lush green agate, and romantic pink chalcedony. Clash de Cartier is classic meets rebel and the ultimate love gift.

No matter what’s inside a Tiffany & Co. box, the first sight of robin’s egg blue sets hearts racing. The storied Fifth Avenue jeweller remains a sure bet for Valentine’s Day with offerings as endless as love itself. From HardWear, LoveLock, and Elsa Peretti’s hearts to Pharrell Williams’s Titan, Tiffany &Co. speaks to every kind of romance. Symbols of love that feel as meaningful years later as they do the moment that blue box is opened.

Coco Crush from Chanel is the definition of cool-girl jewellery. One of the maison’s most recognizable codes—the quilted motif—is distilled into jewellery: the criss-cross pattern reinterpreted in gold. The collection spans rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, but the real hero is the Coco Crush ear cuff, the kind of piece that makes an outfit feel styled in seconds. No piercing, no fuss, just slip it on and go. Worn solo or stacked, the ear cuff is modern, nonchalant, and unmistakably Chanel. This is jewellery that doesn’t try too hard—it doesn’t need to.

The Chopard Happy Hearts collection is a gift that could actually make her heart skip a beat. With its dancing diamonds and signature heart motif, this collection turns rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings into playful talismans of affection. This is jewellery meant to be worn every day, not saved for special occasions. In addition to the jewellery, the Happy Hearts watch blends classic watchmaking with the collection’s spirited design, making for a romantic twist she’ll check every hour. Chopard Happy Hearts is wearable joy, forever.

Wellendorf Noble-Forget-Me-Not Ring
Nothing says eternal like a circle that keeps on spinning, and that idea sits at the heart of every Wellendorff ring. Still family-run and proudly based in Pforzheim, Germany, Wellendorff is a rarity in modern jewellery, guided by heritage rather than hype. Its designs are distinguished by rich cold-enamel colours, velvety gold ropes, and craftsmanship you can actually feel—precisely why this ring makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift. The heart motif is refined, while the rotating band adds playfulness—a symbol of love that doesn’t stand still.

Van Cleef & Arpels Zodiaque Collection
Even the people who insist they’re not into zodiac signs usually are—just quietly. There’s a reason celestial culture has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry: astrology offers meaning, identity, and a sense of order, whether you read your daily horoscope religiously or pretend you don’t. Van Cleef & Arpels’s reimagined Zodiaque collection taps into the fascination. This year, the maison unveils 12 yellow gold bracelets featuring medallions and translating the symbols of the zodiac into wearable art. Giving Zodiaque isn’t just about jewellery; it’s offering something personal, thoughtful and timeless—a way to mark a connection written in the stars.
