There are some holidays that are perfect for jewelry, and one of these is Valentine’s Day. That’s because Valentine’s Day is about romantic love and what better way to show that depth of appreciation than diamonds? Many couples do give each other diamonds on Valentine’s Day, but some opt to amp up the color with the traditional red and white Valentine’s Day colors. This can be done easily by pairing your diamond jewelry with other red jewelry or by getting a multi-stone setting. No matter what budget you have, you can find a way to say it with red and white jewelry for Valentine’s Day.
Layering Your Gift
Rings, bracelets, and necklaces can all be easily layered to give a distinctive and colorful look. Last year the look was all about layers, and now simplicity and boldness are trendier. That doesn’t mean you can layer your rings and bracelets, it means you might want to get a few bold pieces rather than multiple fine pieces to layer. Cocktail rings are still popular and make an excellent Valentine’s Day present. You can get an inexpensive cocktail ring with semi-precious red stones like garnets. If you want diamonds, you can then pair it up with another item with a pretty diamond as the centerpiece.
Valentine’s Day is also a popular day for wedding proposals. You can give you your beloved a beautiful diamond engagement ring and put it in a red jewelry box or attach it to the stem of some red roses. The red and white motif doesn’t have to be about just about the jewelry, but it can also be about how you present the jewelry to your loved one.
Multi-stone Settings
The multiple stone settings have been getting more popular by the year. Rings can have a large diamond in the middle and a couple of small diamonds in the band next to it. Or, if your bride-to-be likes rubies, you can opt to put a couple of rubies in the band to offset the diamond sparkle. Rubies are a precious stone and make an excellent companion stone for diamonds. In fact, prior to the custom of the diamond engagement ring, many people used emeralds and rubies for their stone of choice. Men also can use rubies in their wedding bands to add a bit of color and class.
You can also buy tennis bracelets in red and white colors. If you don’t have much of a budget, you may opt for something synthetic, but the best way to impress your date is to get her genuine diamonds and rubies. Similarly, any jewelry, whether it is a pendant or earrings is much more impressive when the stones are genuine and not simulated.
So, this Valentine’s Day do it up in red and white and make their heart pound a little faster. If you are planning a proposal, using the myth of Valentine’s Day to amplify your own loving feelings can make for a highly memorable engagement.
