Valentine’s Day gift guide: 30 jewellery gift ideas for every budget

One of the best sentimental tokens of affection is jewellery, which naturally makes it a popular choice for a Valentine’s Day gift. No woman would say no to a sparkly, shiny accessory that she can wear with her and be reminded of the special someone it came from – and no, it doesn’t necessarily have to come with diamonds or be a ring.

Stylish, well-made jewellery doesn’t always cost an arm and a leg either – you can definitely find something that matches your budget and will suit the tastes of its recipient. Still, if you can and want to splurge on a luxury piece, go ahead and take a pick from the numerous covetable brands that are at the top of many a jewellery wish list.

Not too sure where to begin your search for the right piece? Here’s a round-up of some excellent choices that will please not just a variety of tastes but are also available at a wide range of prices too.
