Jewellery for Valentine's Day in perfect form

In the world of fine jewellery, few symbols amplify the meaning of love as much as the heart. A primordial and universal shape, capable of conveying the sentiment in its most direct essence, timeless and ever relevant, through stones and metals that perpetuate the values of promise, desire, and eternity.

Valentine’s Day offers the perfect occasion to give this essential symbol, capable of expressing emotions without the need for words. From classic rings set with rubies to necklaces with pendants as light as a sigh, the choice of the perfect gift reflects personal taste and the message one wishes to convey: essential yet refined designs, sophisticated and romantic details, craftsmanship that celebrates the eternity of a precious bond.

For those who cherish coloured stones, in addition to rubies, garnets and red spinels evoke passion with deep, enveloping glows. For those who prefer timeless elegance, the diamond remains the ultimate choice.

In their latest collections, brands such as Amen, PdPaola, and Giovanni Ferraris explore the symbolism of the heart through sophisticated and distinctive interpretations. Amen gives it a bold aesthetic: clean, modern lines are illuminated with a vibrant red that enhances the expressive power of love's most iconic symbol. PdPaola plays with subtraction: the heart becomes a light, almost ethereal profile, defined by the glow of diaphanous stones. A whispered romanticism, perfect for those who appreciate discretion and the harmony of forms. Giovanni Ferraris elevates the beauty of the ruby with intricate craftsmanship and an aesthetic pursuit that merges luxury and tradition. His creations are rich and precious, characterised by elaborate settings and light play that magnify the allure of each stone.
