While, yes, it’s a cliché, jewelry (like flattering lingerie and fancy chocolates) is a Valentine’s Day gift your beloved will never grow tired of receiving. Why? Because gifting jewelry requires thoughtfulness. You can’t just gift them the first gold bracelet or pair of diamond earrings served to you on Instagram.

Obviously, you need to take into account the types of pieces they already own. Do they have a preference for gold or silver jewelry? Statement or subtle pieces? Did they mention a piece of jewelry they were thinking of buying themselves? Are you now realizing this was actually a subtle hint for you to buy it for them?

If you’re stressed, read our comprehensive guide to buying jewelry for women, and when you’re finished, take a look at the list below where we’ve rounded up an array of beautiful pieces for every type of jewelry wearer that you can gift this V-Day. Reminder: February 14 is a time to celebrate love in its most gaudy, cheesy sense. Lean into tradition this Valentine’s Day. Glistening tennis necklaces, heart-shaped earrings and pieces with romantic engravings are always welcome.
