Pavo Florals Madonna Rose Box

What do all women want? A love that lasts a lifetime. And here, we have it — or, an expression of it, anyway — in the form of everlasting, handcrafted silk flowers. Although sunflowers are my favourites (take note, boys!), Pavo Florals’ signature Madonna Roses are an impressive two to three times larger than the average bud; a glorious, customisable arrangement that will brighten up any living space in an extravagant statement of love.

Tiffany Knot Double Hinged Bangles

Why yes, I do have multiple items on this list, but it’s Valentine’s Day! And my birthday coming up hot, too. So, for all my friends and suitors reading this, I do indeed have my eye on a little bit of gold and ice. Let a girl dream. Anything that symbolises unity will always tug on my heartstrings, and for the very large, insatiable magpie within me, it would certainly be nice to be adorned with one or two items from the brand’s latest Tiffany Knot collection.

One-Michelin-star Andō by chef Augustin Balbi is serving a special selection of earthy dishes rooted in the Argentinian chef’s contemporary and innovative approach to auteur cuisine.

Nothing says love like … wearing your heart on your hip? But who can resist this adorable Saint Valentine shoulder bag, designed in the shape of a heart in Gucci’s durable GG Supreme coated canvas? A fine chain strap and bold red letters spelling LOVE and a heart stamp complete the dream. Available at Net-a-Porter.

Asaya Lodge “Love Myself” Retreat

I can’t resist any excuse for good pampering, and no one does it better than Asaya at the Rosewood Hong Kong. Sure, a couples spa treatment sounds lovely, but so does me-time and nourishing your own mental and physical well-being. The Love Myself one-night retreat comes with a one-on-one consultation with Dr Tal Asaya’s resident naturopathic doctor. Guests are also invited to custom blend their own body scrubs, aromatic oils and bath salts for your ultimate tailored self-care ritual. The stay ends with dining credits to be used at Rosewood’s select dining destinations, plus access to Manor Club lounge for complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and champagne.

There’s something about gifting jewellery that’s incredibly intimate and emotional.

Sure, chocolates and flowers are classic Valentine’s Day gestures, but if you want your significant other to feel like the kings or queens of the world, then there’s nothing like a jewellery gift, something you know they’ll treasure for all the years to come. From fun and flirty, elegant pieces, to bold and strong symbolic jewellery and big brand names, here is our selection of the best jewellery pieces your partner will love.

Chopard

The happiest diamonds are the ones that are free. So let your loved ones know just how happy their love makes you with Chopard’s Happy Hearts collection. The open-ended rose gold cuff comes with heart charms on both ends, one with a glossy red stone and the other a sapphire crystal glass case holding a free-moving 0.05-carat diamond. Available at Net-a-Porter.

Yvonne Léon

Yvonne Léon’s jewellery is Parisian chic, inspired by the life and the stylish women in the French capital who wore colourful and bold jewellery most effortlessly. This heart-shaped signet ring is handmade from 9K gold, with a rope-effect setting that holds a heart-shaped malachite pierced with a singular diamond. If you don’t enjoy your heart-shaped jewellery in pinks and reds, this might steal your heart instead. Available at Net-a-Porter.

Sorrellina

Sorellina is a jewellery brand is founded by sister duo Nicole and Kim Carosella, whose aesthetic leans towards bold statements with a hint of vintage charm. This beautiful heart-shaped locket comes with a pink mother-of-pearl centre that’s framed with diamonds and rainbow-hued sapphires. And like any functional locket, it opens up to store a tiny photo of a loved one close to heart. Available at Net-a-Porter.

Cece Jewellery

Emerging British designer and goldsmith Cece Jewellery combines a love for retro tattoos, enamel art and goldsmithing to create these wonderfully whimsical pendants and signet rings, which tell the tales of nautical adventures, mythical creates and animal totems. This piece depicting a pierced heart has our attention. Each jewellery is made from recycled yellow gold and hand-engraved and hand-painted by one of London’s most renowned enamellers.

Graff

Feminity is in full bloom at Graff, whose new Wild Flower collection brings a vision of carefree irreverence and unencumbered self-expression to the playful diamond pieces. Arranged in an open-worked pavé setting, the diamonds appear incredibly light yet full of life – the perfect gift for a loved one.

Boochier

Melinda Zeman turned to jewellery design to satisfy her pursuit of interesting and unique jewellery pieces that incorporate nostalgic elements of her childhood rather than the more run-of-the-mill flora and fauna. Boochier is fun at heart, crafted in diamonds and neon-coloured enamel. This ring in particular is inspired by a childhood favourite, the Slinkee, perfect for the fun-loving partners this Valentine’s Day.

Mateo

Pearls are making a comeback – we’ve not seen pearl chains look as stylish as when strung around Harry Style’s neck. For designer Matthew Harris, pearls are the significant of his brand Mateo. The designer is drawn to the iridescent stones since they’re also his birthstone, and makes use of the cream-coloured jewels in the most classic and wearable ways. Available at Mr Porter.

Samantha Tea

Let Samantha Tea spell it out for you – love should be all year round, not just on Valentine’s Day. The All in Love! Ring is made from solid rose gold, with the world LOVE standing upright and paved in white diamonds in the front and cognac diamonds at the back.

Eden Presley

Bold and daring defines the designs of Eden Presley, who combines classic and traditional motifs with unusual elements and semi-precious stones for a distinctive take on fine jewellery. The Rainbow Love Transformer Earrings features heart hoops in multi-colour gemstones and comes apart so the first heart can be worn as a stud and the second heart as a pendant. Jewellery should be fun and Eden Presley for sure brings it out.

Mikimoto

Love doesn’t have to be loud – this delicate 18K white gold bracelet with an Akoya cultured pearl and a ribbon motif in white gold and diamonds is perfect for those looking for something subtle, less in-your-face, more pure this Valentine’s Day. Ribbons is a precious symbol, according to the Japanese jeweller, who believes it symbolises the unbreakable bond uniting those who love each other.

De Beers

There’s nothing like receiving your very first De Beers jewellery. My First De Beers collection comes in modern and versatile designs that will surely become treasured pieces in anyone’s collection. For Valentine’s Day, pick up a heart-shaped diamond pendant or a tear-drop shaped one – each centre diamond is encircled by a halo of micropavé diamonds to accentuate the diamonds’ romantic shapes.

Stenzhorn

This Valentine’s Day, German jeweller Stenzhorn’s released a fun new collection titled Honey Honey, bee-inspired jewellery to celebrate the joyous occasion with levity and affection. The Honey Honey Collection earrings features baguette diamond links in a geometric honeycomb pattern to represent the sweet connection. A modern silhouette that any chic woman would love. Available at Emperor Watches and Jewellery or online.

Marla Aaron

Marla Aaron has got your heart under lock and key with her fun signature heart pendants, an industrial design that’s inspired by the New Yorker’s passion for bridges, hardware, and jewellery. Shop her fun pieces at Lane Crawford, or online at Farfetch.

Fred

In pink gold and rubies, Fred’s Pretty Woman collection celebrates love in all its forms. The collection, inspired by the movie of the same name starring Julia Roberts, comes with a heart-within-a-heart design for the vivacious and energetic women in your life.

Bvlgari

Snakes are not the slippery cunning creatures you might think they are, on the contrary they represent fertility, rebirth and eternity – strong symbolic jewellery that’s well-suited for your partner in life. And when it comes to serpentine jewellery, no one does it better than Bvlgari.
