Valentine's day is just around the corner. So now is the time to find that perfect expression of love for the special person in your life.Jewelry always makes a special gift for a loved one at any time of the year. But Valentine's day lends itself to this expression of love because so many jewelry items can be heart shaped.
Hearts lend themselves particularly well to brooches and pins. Whether it be rhinestones, pearls, or plain metals, a heart brooch makes a perfect "I love you" gift. Some even incorporate additional words on them, such as mother and grandmother.
Heart lockets give your special one a place to put a small picture or lock of hair to remember you by. I've also seen lockets that are shaped like hearts which have small areas inside for solid perfume.
Some designers use figural motifs in their designs. I recently listed a a really cute pin in my
store in the shape of a tic tac toe design, but the Os were small hearts. So cute!There are charm bracelets with love themed charms, or heart charms, such as this pretty charm bracelet with both pale green and dark green glass heart charms.
But nothing says "I love you" quite the way that this stunning vintage charm bracelet does. It has a hand wired faux pearl strand with a single large heart. The heart is double sided and says I love you in 15 different languages.
I'm not an expert on languages. I know quite a bit of
French, and some Italian and Spanish and I can recognize a few other languages, so I had to go searching.I googled the spelling of some of the wording on the heart, and came up with this group of countries:
- French
- English
- Greek
- Kurdish
- Portuguese
- Danish
- Nowegian
- Polish
- Italian
- Gaelic
- Chinese
- Hebrew
- Spanish
- plus a few more I can't figure out!
