10 best jewellery gifts for her this Valentine’s Day

Tennis bracelets are in vogue, and for good reason – they add some serious sparkle to any outfit. The design first gained popularity in the 1920s, but it got its name in 1978 when tennis star Chris Evert wore the accessory during her matches.

Aside from being steeped in history, it’s an ideal standout piece and makes a great gift. While there are plenty of options out there, for an affordable yet well-made design, look no further than Astrid & Miyu’s. With slightly larger crystals than the traditional tennis bracelet, it really catches the light and makes for the perfect accessory. While it looks nice when worn alone, we also paired it with our welded bracelet (from £120, Astridandmiyu.com), and never want to take it off.

About November focuses on modern, minimal aesthetic jewellery. While the brand’s main USP is its earrings – which do look lovely – it’s this cuff ring that we tested. The design is far more high-end than the price tag would suggest, and it’s a particularly great option if you’re not 100 per cent sure about your giftee’s ring size, because it can be adjusted to fit their finger. The chunky design means it can make a statement when worn alone, but it looks equally as nice when styled alongside other rings. If you’re buying for someone who usually wears gold, it also comes in that metal finish too (£25, About-november.com). With change left from £30, this affordable yet chic choice is a total standout that your recipient is bound to love.

When it comes to personalised Valentine’s Day gifts, jewellery is a lovely choice. While lots of brands offer the service, few do it as chicly and timelessly as Daphine. Case in point: this bangle. It’s a gorgeous statement piece that can be engraved with your giftee’s initials.

Aside from this personal touch, we found we gravitated towards this piece every day. It really elevated even the dowdiest of outfits. The high quality is clear too.

If you’re feeling particularly generous, the brand suggests wearing two on the same wrist or pairing it with the coordinating ring (£75, Daphine.com). Much like others in this review, you can order it to arrive gift-wrapped, which we’d recommend doing. The gift box was sealed with ribbon, and inside was a felt pouch wrapped in tissue paper. It’s these small touches that make Daphine a great one for all of your jewellery gifts.

Even the simplest of outfits can be elevated with a set of rings, with statement designs offering a great option – and, in our opinion, more is more when it comes to bling. In terms of the design of this dome ring, it’s a huge fashion favourite. It’s the right amount of chunky and can be worn on its own or alongside other stacking rings, depending on your giftee’s current collection.

Much like the other brands featured here, Mejuri is a lovely label to know, thanks to the neat packaging the pieces arrive in. Owing to its fine jewellery designs, it’s also one you should keep in mind for any special occasion coming up.

If you’re searching for affordable jewellery pieces, Orelia really is one to know. With prices starting from around £15, the designs are trend-led, but also timeless – making it one to bookmark for all your gifting needs.

As for these earrings, they stood out as a firm favourite, coming in at less than £30. Owing to the oval shape and the addition of the heart charm, they are slightly different from your traditional hoop earrings, and we love them. They’re a great size and can be worn alongside other earrings to form the perfect ear party.

Your giftee will have to remember to take these off before showering, though, as they’re gold-plated and will tarnish over time if they come into contact with water. For an extra £3, the hoops will arrive in a gift box – which we’d recommend opting for, particularly if you want this to be a letterbox present.

When it comes to getting a diamond look on a budget, Heavenly London needs to be your go-to. The brand’s mon cœur necklace (£150, Heavenlylondon.com) is a piece we’ve had in our collection for a while – and it’s a total showstopper.

But for something equally as impressive, turn to the la folie ring. The rope-style design makes it more interesting than other rings we’ve seen. At its centre is a heart made from an imitation diamond, so it adds the perfect touch of sparkle to any hand. Essentially, this is the perfect way to gift something as sparkly as diamonds without putting too big a dent in your bank account.

While we’d usually suggest gifting timeless pieces as opposed to trend-led ones, initial designs are the exception to the rule. Offering a personalised and understated touch, this style of necklace is favoured by celebrities and royals alike. For something less Carrie Bradshaw and more dainty, this design from Ana Luisa is ideal.

Much like all of the pieces we tested, this necklace looks lovely when worn alone or layered with other chains, so it should slot into your giftee’s jewellery collection nicely. While a gift note is free of charge, you will have to pay an additional £5 to make sure this arrives with a gift box and ribbon (Analuisa.com). If you’re buying for someone who exclusively wears silver, unfortunately, this is only available in gold.

V By Laura Vann is a great destination for affordable yet well-made jewellery pieces, so we’d certainly recommend it as a brand to bookmark when it comes to gifting.

Inspired by Art Deco designs, these crystal studs are timeless yet glamourous. If you’re looking for a jewellery item your giftee will wear every day, you simply cannot go wrong with studs. While we wear these alongside three hoop earrings to complement our ear party, they also look chic when worn solo. Similarly, should your loved one have their cartilage pierced, we think one of these would look pretty there too.

The sparkly stone is a perfect size and they are beautifully made – a simple yet lovely sparkly addition to any collection and a gift to be cherished. As with all V By Laura Vann jewellery, these arrived beautifully packaged in a jewellery box.

Beaded bracelets are very in vogue. If there’s a brand you should know when it comes to these designs, it’s Anni Lu. It specialises in playful jewellery, with its bold and bright pieces designed to encourage you to think of beaches, ocean waves and travels. With this in mind, the Nuanua bracelet is the ideal gift for those with wanderlust – it’s part of the brand’s wave dancer collection, which pays tribute to surfers across the globe.

The designs evoke fancy-free vibes, and have been created to be stackable. As such, it offers a lovely way to start a new tradition, where you buy your loved one a new design for any forthcoming special occasion. That way, they’ll soon be able to mix and match with lots of the pieces you choose for them.
