Valentine’s Day Necklaces: Is a Necklace a Good Gift?

Valentine’s Day only happens once a year, but if you choose the right jewelry gift, it can be worn and cherished for years to come. Valentine’s Day is when we show our loved ones how special they are. A necklace that symbolizes love and affection is the perfect gift to give your loved ones this Valentine’s.

Read on to discover how to choose and buy the best Valentine’s Day necklace featuring VRAI created diamonds.

Is a Necklace a Good Valentine’s Day Gift?

A necklace is a great Valentine’s Day gift. Necklaces are thoughtful, intimate, beautiful, and highly symbolic. Diamond necklaces are also incredibly versatile. Necklaces come in a variety of timeless styles that can be worn as everyday jewelry or statement pieces for years to come.

What Necklace Symbolizes Love?

A diamond necklace symbolizes love, faithfulness, and affection. A diamond pendant, especially one with a Heart diamond, is the ultimate symbol of love. Pendant necklaces are worn near the heart to represent giving your heart to another.

How to Choose a Valentine’s Day Necklace

The best necklace to give as a Valentine’s Day gift depends on your relationship with your loved one and their style. Use the following tips to help you choose a Valentine’s Day necklace.

Style

Consider what types of necklaces your loved one already owns. Are they a jewelry minimalist with an equally minimalist style? Then a sleek and simple necklace suitable for daily wear may be best for them.

Do they love bold, diamond-forward designs with an heirloom feel? Then chances are, you can go for brilliant statement pieces instead of subtle and sleek ones.

Their style, and existing necklace collection, will help you narrow down what type of necklace they would love. Their taste will also determine the best diamond shape for them.

Length

The necklace length is an important factor when choosing a necklace for someone. If possible, measure the necklace length of their existing jewelry. If there’s one common length, look for necklaces of the same measurement.

Metal Color

Most people prefer one or two metal colors. Most fine jewelry is made from white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, or sterling silver. Consider the metal color they tend to wear to narrow down their preference.

Meaning

Certain necklaces hold different meanings and are better suited for specific relationships. Think about what you want the necklace to say so that your gift conveys the appropriate meaning.

If you’re choosing a necklace for your child, you may want to pick a thoughtful yet cute necklace for Valentine’s, like VRAI’s Blossom Necklace. If you’re looking for a Valentine's Day necklace for your wife, a diamond necklace that’s romantic and elegant will be better suited.

For a first Valentine’s Day, especially if you haven’t said I love you yet, you may want to give a beautiful but understated necklace, such as a playful Petite V Necklace.

Best Valentine’s Day Necklaces for Her

For inspiration on choosing women’s Valentine’s Day necklaces, consider these top styles:

1. Special Occasions

If this Valentine’s Day marks a special milestone in your relationship, a breathtaking and timeless diamond Tennis Necklace will mark this holiday like no other.

For a slightly more subtle design, consider the Arc Necklace. This design is available in three or five diamonds. The additional diamonds can perfectly represent a relationship milestone: three diamonds for the birth of a first child, five diamonds for five years, and so on.

2. Most Romantic

Solid gold is timeless and durable, just like your love. Explore a variety of gold Valentine’s Day necklaces for her, especially rose gold, for a truly romantic gift.

A diamond Halo Pendant is a classic way to symbolically give her your heart, while the Signature Pear Drop Halo Necklace combines two different shapes to represent two becoming one.

3. Budget-Friendly

If you’re on a budget, or buying a jewelry gift for a younger child, explore sterling silver Valentine’s Day necklaces for her. Sterling silver is durable and beautiful, but more affordable than gold. The silver Petite Solitaire Necklace or the silver V Solitaire Necklace are timeless and affordable Valentine’s Day necklaces.

4. First Valentine’s Day

If you’re shopping for a Valentine’s Day necklace for your girlfriend, but it’s the first Valentine’s or a new relationship, you may want to avoid giving a necklace gift that’s deeply romantic or extravagant. Opt for a necklace that’s thoughtful, versatile, and simple.

A Solitaire Pendant, Orion Necklace, or Tiny Station Necklace are all understated yet elegant designs.

Best Valentine’s Day Necklaces for Him

For men’s Valentine’s Day necklaces, consider the following top styles for him:

1. Special Occasions

If you’re shopping for a truly unforgettable Valentine’s Day necklace, the gold Strength Necklace is a unique piece that represents the enduring strength of your love.

Alternatively, the V Arc Necklace is an angular and contemporary take on our classic design. Choose between three or five diamonds to symbolize the special moments or milestones in your relationship.

2. Most Romantic

For a romantic Valentine’s Day gift for him, create a custom necklace by engraving a special message on our Solitaire Bar Pendant. For an alternative design, consider the highly symbolic Intentions Medallion, or the V Duo Lariat Necklace with two VRAI created diamonds for the two of you.

3. Budget-Friendly

For affordable Valentine’s Day jewelry for him, opt for a minimalist sterling silver necklace. A silver Bezel Solitaire Necklace will shine as bright as your love. If you want to celebrate their unique beauty, consider gifting the meaningful Inner Light Medallion in a silver setting.

4. First Valentine’s Day

For a first Valentine’s Day together, look for an understated, classic design that’s suitable for daily wear. A silver Bezel Station Necklace features several smaller diamonds and is easy to layer. Alternatively, a Baguette Necklace is a modern yet versatile gift, perfect to commemorate a new relationship.
