Gifts for Where You Are Together

The right Valentine's gift depends on where you are as a couple. What works for a first Valentine's can feel too small after ten years, and what works after ten years can feel too much on a first.

Your first Valentine's

Keep it thoughtful, not overwhelming. A bracelet is ideal: personal enough to mean something, easy enough that he'll wear it tomorrow. The Onyx Clover Stone Bracelet sets our four-leaf clover in deep black onyx inlays, and the Connell Bracelet is light and understated. Our guide to gifts for him under $50 has more ideas at this level.

For a first Valentine's: something he'll wear, without it being too much.

A few years in

You know his style by now, so give him the piece he'd choose himself. The 4mm Cuban chain is a classic he'll wear every day, and the Classic Cuff flexes to fit, so there's no size to guess.

The 4mm Cuban: a classic he'll reach for every day.

Your husband

Go for staying power. A 3mm Cuban chain in sterling silver is handcrafted in 925 silver and only gets better with time, and the Square Signet Ring is a classic he'll wear for years. If you've been together for decades, keep it timeless: a gold signet or a pair of cufflinks will suit him better than anything bold.

Gifts With Meaning

A pendant lets you give him a symbol, not just a piece. Here's the honest meaning behind two of our Valentine's favorites.

The Rose

The rose is the flower of Valentine's, but ours carries a meaning he'll value just as much. The Rose pendant is hand carved and stands for the strength that comes from embracing your imperfections: a rose needs its thorns to grow. It comes on a 2mm Cuban chain, in silver or 18K gold.

Something red

Red is the color of Valentine's, and a touch of it in a ring is subtle enough for every day. The Red Stone Band Ring has ten individually cut red coral stones set into a silver band.

Gift Sets

A gift set gives him a finished look in one box, which takes the guesswork out of matching pieces. The Onyx Clover Pendant Gift Set pairs an onyx clover pendant and chain with a matching bracelet, and the Compass Gift Set includes a Compass pendant, chain and bracelet, for the man who's found his direction.

For the Single Friend

Not every Valentine's gift is romantic. Despite the name, our Cupid's Revenge pendant is about self-love: a reminder that the best relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself. It's the perfect gift for a single friend, or for treating yourself.
