SYMBOLIC VALENTINE'S DAY GIFTS: GIFTS THAT SPEAK VOLUMES THROUGH DESIGN
As Valentine’s Day approaches, we know many of you will be looking for deeply significant gifts. Jewelry is a popular choice, not just because of its aesthetic appeal but for its symbolism as well. In this blog post, we’ll introduce you to the symbolic meanings behind exquisite jewelry, to help you choose the perfect design for your special someone.
TWIN RINGS
Featuring two exquisite stones, twin rings are representative of love and friendship. You’ll often see them incorporated into wedding rings to symbolize a couple’s commitment to one another. Given their nature, twin rings are super versatile and full of personality, as they can either be designed with identical stones, or stones that differ through color, shape, size, etc. Regardless, those stones will always complement each other, emphasizing the “2 of us” aspect of the ring’s design. Twin rings are a statement of the unbreakable bond that is unique to two souls in love.

TENNIS BRACELETS
These bracelets sport a uniform, simplistic, and clean look. The design incorporates minimalism to maximize its beauty and charm. Tennis bracelets are symbolic of feminine strength and grace; they reveal to the world that their wearer is strong-willed and determined. Given their seemingly ‘endless look, they’re also symbolic of everlasting love. They are the perfect gift for that confident, special someone.
Fun fact: Tennis bracelets earned their name after tennis player, Chris Evert, was spotted always wearing a diamond bracelet during matches. Thus, the media dubbed the jewelry the ‘tennis bracelet’. The bracelet gained worldwide fame when during one match, it came off and Evert immediately asked for the match to be stopped until it was found.

tHREE STONE RINGS
Another deeply meaningful design is the three stone ring
(also known as the anniversary ring). The three stones featured depict a
couple’s journey, with the stones representing their shared past, present, and
future. The center stone (usually the biggest) symbolizes a couple’s present,
reminding them to always be in the moment and to treasure each another.

HALO DESIGNS
Halo settings are rings of small diamonds surrounding a centerpiece. They work to make a focal point more brilliant by catching light to help illuminate it. This particular style is so popular, it can be traced back to the 18th century! Halos are symbolic of commitment and enduring love, which is why they’re often incorporated into engagement ring designs. They’re sweet, distinct, and charming, and add to the radiance of a jewelry piece.

PEAR SHAPED DIAMOND JEWELRY
One of the most popular and stylish diamond cuts is the pear shaped diamond. This shape is versatile and unique, symbolizing strength and elegance. Additionally, they’re often referred to as teardrop shaped and represent tears of joy, which explains why they’re especially in demand for engagement rings.
