Leave a Comment

The clock is ticking to surprise the one you love this Valentine’s Day! Jewelry gifts are a timeless and traditional choice for many on this holiday celebrating all things romantic. There are many options for Valentine’s Day jewelry gifts from trendy to traditional depending on your loved one’s tastes. Here are a few of our favorite gifts from Gabriel & Co.

  1. Stacked Rings

    For the fashionista, trendy stacked rings and bracelets are a great choice. Not only are they beautiful, there are so many options to make it personal. Or get her one ring and then continue to add on more for special occasions.

  2. Colored stones

    Choose a romantic pink or red hued stone necklace, pendant, earrings, or bracelet. A colored stone is a special gift that she can wear on special occasions or on a normal day. Choose a color she may be more likely to wear. If your significant other isn’t a fan or pink or red, you can opt for a non-traditional Valentine’s Day color and choose her favorite color or her birthstone. You can also choose to add in diamonds or multiple stones to add glamour to the look. Depending on your budget, there are less expensive options and also options for higher priced stones as well.

  3. Heart shaped jewelry

    A classic option for a Valentine’s Day jewelry gift is anything heart shaped. Symbolizing that she has your heart, you can’t go wrong with a heart shaped necklace or earrings. From gold- rose gold, white gold or yellow gold to diamonds or colored stones you can really choose a special piece perfect for her. A dainty heart-shaped pendant will be a perfect touch of sparkle and showcase your love. The heart shape is a popular symbol on Valentine’s Day but is something that is timeless and that she will love wearing for many years to come. We can help you find the perfect heart shaped jewelry to fit her unique style and personality.

  4. Arrows

    A more non-traditional option but still one reflecting on Valentine’s Day and the symbolism behind it is the arrow. We particularly love this arrow earring stud set. With a touch of sparkle and a lot of edge, your honey is sure to love wearing these! If she isn’t a fan of dainty and delicate jewelry, this will be the perfect pick! Although this look is trendy, it is also something that will be a timeless choice and sure to be her favorite for years to come.

  5. Infinity symbol

    Make a strong statement of your love by gifting an infinity necklace, bracelet or ring. These gifts will be cherished for a lifetime and symbol that you will love her forever. Whether you are dating or have been married for 50 years, this is a very romantic gesture that she is sure to love. She will remember your past and present together and look forward to the future!

Summer Jewelry Care

Leave a Comment

Take extra care if your jewelry during the summer months! Although here in the Pacific Northwest we don’t have the hot summer days, days outside, trips to the beach, and sunscreen can damage your jewelry. Here are a few tips for you for summer jewelry care.

Heading to the pool?

If pool (or hot tub) days are on your summer to-do list, leave your jewelry at home. Chlorine will highly corrode jewelry. If worn in chloride often, you can even discolor some gemstones.

Going on a beach vacation?

We don’t have many beaches around here, but if you are spending a day at the beach its a great idea to keep your jewelry in a safe place for the day. It is risky to wear jewelry in the ocean. A big wave can make your ring slip off. Salt water also can damage your jewelry and over time wear down prongs, leaving you at risk for losing stones.

Laying out?

While sun isn’t likely to damage your jewelry, it is still a good idea to remove any jewelry when tanning. When you put on sunscreen, the oils will get on your jewelry and leave them dull and grimy. They can also dull the sparkle, so remove your jewelry before applying sunscreen, lotion, or tanning lotion.

After the busy summer months are over, bring your engagement ring, wedding ring or other jewelry piece into your jewelers to get clean. We can help clean and recommend maintenance tips to keep your pieces shining and sparkling.
