Surprise your significant other with dazzling diamonds this Valentine Day

While a box of truffles will be gone in the blink of an eye, a rose bouquet will wither in no time.  A sparkling diamond necklace, on the other hand, is everlasting, and sure to win over even the staunchest of Valentine’s Day sceptics.

If your heart is set on diamonds this year, Graff’s £110,000, expert-picked heart-shaped earrings are a great place to start. Other gems, however, can be an equally beautiful and meaningful way to show your affection, from deep-red Carnelian stones to richly hued rubies. 

And in 2026, Valentine’s jewellery gifts aren’t exclusively for women — men deserve to be spoiled, too. Our edit includes the best of modern brands and this year’s haute horology trend: striking red dials.These quirky, barrel-shaped “love lockets”, crafted from 14-karat gold, are a great choice for the fashion-forward woman. 

Drawing on Lichtenberg’s 12-year tenure as a fashion editor at French Elle and the influence of her mother — a jewellery collector and owner of an antique store in Paris — Lichtenberg’s designs have an heirloom-worthy quality, featuring oversized, statement silhouettes and a touch of whimsical charm. Her jumbo heart pendant is a playful update on the traditional locket, finished with a beautiful bezel-set, heart-shaped diamond.
