Love In Jewellery

To celebrate the launch of our Valentine’s Day sale, I’m dusting off my history degree to dive into the fascinating world of encoded romance in jewellery. Plus, I’ll be sharing my top picks for the perfect Valentine’s gift! 

Cartier Rings 

Created in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo, the Cartier Love Ring remains one of the design house’s most iconic and sought-after pieces. The ring’s design is inspired by the medieval chastity belt, as it can only be removed by unscrewing the closures. Reimagined with counter-cultural flair, the Love Ring symbolises free-spirited love and fidelity, regarded as the ‘Love Child of 70s New York’ by Cartier. 

Beyond its history, the Cartier Love Ring is the perfect versatile valentine’s gift. The ring comes crafted in Yellow Gold, White Gold, Rose Gold, or Platinum. Diamond-studded or plain, it has a classic look that is easily uni-sex. This Love Ring is a stunning three-diamond showstopper crafted in rose gold, but we have plenty more for you to explore the perfect valentine's gift.

Lockets

Queen Victoria sparked a major revival of the charm necklace, famously wearing a locket with a portrait of her beloved husband, Prince Albert. Lockets became a cherished way to keep a piece of a loved one close to the heart—whether through their likeness or even a lock of their hair. Other symbolic charms, such as Cupid’s arrow, swallows, anchors, and keys, were often paired with a central locket, weaving a deeper narrative into each piece. Was it a tale of young love, lifelong devotion, or solemn remembrance?

Today, locket necklaces remain a staple in romantic jewellery, treasured for their rich history and customisable charm—making them a truly meaningful Valentine's gift for someone special.

Brooch Sets

I could go on about the ancient symbolism of moonstone—alright, fine, I will.

In Indian culture, moonstone is considered a sacred gem, believed to hold the power to awaken love. It was often gifted to couples as a blessing for a stable and harmonious marriage. Across European and Asian folklore, there are countless tales suggesting that two people wearing moonstone under a full moon were destined to fall in love.

But honestly, I've always thought how sweet this pair of Victorian brooches would be as a matching couple’s accessory—the perfect Valentine’s gift for those who appreciate history, romance, and one-of-a-kind treasures. Created by the renowned Carlo Giuliano, they share an extraordinary provenance, yet aren’t so matchy-matchy as to lose their subtlety as a couple’s piece, an invisible tie between your partner and you.
