Diamond Earrings

Diamond earrings are the perfect piece of Valentine's Day jewelry to give when you’re just starting a new relationship. It shows that you’re committed, but yet they give you a lot of room to grow into gifting larger and more significant pieces in the future. Of course, if you’re someone just looking for that perfect Galentine’s Day gift, this is a great option for you too. Check out some of these options:

• Hoops: Hoop earrings are versatile, and the recipient can usually wear them in either fancy or casual settings. They’re a great choice for an easy, but thoughtful, gift.
• Studs: Diamond studs are the classic earring that every woman loves. A perfect match for her favorite black dress, you can be sure that a pair of diamond studs will never go out of style. Pro Tip: Single diamond studs are also a great gift for men who love a little icing!
• Halo style: The halo style is a fresher, newer version of the standard diamond stud earring. Surrounding each diamond solitaire is a halo of smaller stones, increasing the fire and scintillation of the entire piece.
• Dangles: Fun and flirty, dangles are usually the most casual of the different styles of earrings. They’re the perfect choice for a newer relationship that you’re hoping grows into something more.

Diamond Pendants

When you’re attempting to find the perfect Valentine's Day jewelry, don’t buy anything until you check out our selection of diamond necklaces and pendants. Pendants often have more sentimental value than a pair of earrings and can often be more meaningful, depending on the design. There are several perfect options to choose from, including:

• Hearts: Although a heart pendant may seem a bit too obvious, it’s still an excellent choice. If you like the idea but want something more unique, consider a pendant cast in rose gold. The romantic color is sure to stun!
• Crosses: Although a cross pendant isn’t for everyone, she may find great significance and comfort in the symbol of Christianity. For some, it is a cherished gift that can last a lifetime.g
• Past, Present, and Future: Three stone pendants are especially noteworthy as a timely piece of Valentine's Day jewelry because of the meaning of the stones. Each diamond, stacked on top of one another, represents either the past, present, or future of your relationship together.
• Journey Pendants: Show your beloved that you’ll always be there through all of life’s ups and downs when you choose a journey pendant. These pendants feature a vertical series of diamonds, each larger than the last to represent your growing love.

Tennis Bracelets

If you’re in a longer-term relationship, but neither of you has any ideas for a Valentine’s Day proposal just yet, a tennis bracelet is a perfect option. These classic pieces are worthy choices for a couple that is committed but isn’t ready for an engagement ring at the moment. There are two popular styles of tennis bracelets:

• Diamond tennis bracelets: A diamond tennis bracelet is a perfect row of diamonds that encircle the wrist. They are just the ticket for any occasion and have a definite “wow” factor. If you’re looking for a unique twist on the classic diamond tennis bracelet, consider a bracelet that incorporates either black or blue diamonds (Pompeii3 carries them, and they’re amazing!).
• Gemstone tennis bracelets: If you want the dazzle of a diamond tennis bracelet, but your budget is a bit more modest, take a look at some gemstone tennis bracelets. They can be just as stunning and are a popular Valentine's Day jewelry choice.

Engagement Rings

Now, for those who are serious about how to propose on Valentine's Day, it’s time to consider your options for engagement rings. Pompeii3 carries an extensive selection of diamond engagement rings that are perfect for every taste and budget. We even offer our conflict-free lab created diamonds that features the exact same impressive sparkle and shine at a fraction of the cost of traditionally-mined diamonds. Here are some of the most popular trends in engagement jewelry:

• Solitaire: If she loves classic simplicity that shines, we recommend a solitaire. This style features a single diamond that stands front and center, reminding her that she’s the only one for you.
• Vintage-Inspired: For the woman who has always dreamed of being a princess, a vintage ring is the perfect match. These engagement rings have delicate details adorning the band and unique diamond cuts.
• Halo: With a vintage feel that’s similar to halo studs, these engagement rings include a larger center diamond surrounded by even more stones.

Valentine’s Day Proposal Tips

If you’re considering a proposal this February 14th, we don’t just want to help you find the perfect ring, we also want to give you some unique Valentine's Day proposal ideas as well! Avoid the common cliches and make it a moment to remember forever with the following tips.

Go Back to Where It All Started

Think back to that moment you first saw her. Where were you? Perhaps it was from across a crowded dance floor or as you walked into the restaurant on your blind date. How about the moment you fell in love? Maybe it was right away or after months of friendship.

To make this proposal special, take her to a place that has meaning to you both. Whether it was a quiet park or a packed stadium, returning to that place will bring your past, present, and future together in a moment of celebration. Make it fun by setting up a scavenger hunt that ends where it all began.

If possible, grab a souvenir to commemorate the day and display it at your wedding. If it’s big enough, use it as your guest book and have friends and family sign it!

Head Out on an Adventure

One of the best things about being together is enjoying new experiences as a couple. Show her how much you love spending time with her by going on an adventure that ends with a romantic proposal.

For example, if you’re both outdoorsy, spend the day exploring nature. Go for a long hike in the mountains or forest and, once you get to your destination, pop the question. If you live in an area where it snows, go for a walk and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere freshly fallen snow creates. Build a snowman and snowwoman and put the ring on the branch of the snowwoman’s hand. If you live in a warmer climate, schedule a hot air balloon ride for just the two of you. Wait until you’re in the clouds to drop on one knee. Finally, go geocaching and make the ring the prize at the end!

No matter what you do, you’ll be creating memories that will kickstart a lifetime of happiness.

A New Take on Tradition

Sometimes, the classics really do stand the test of time. That’s true for the usual Valentine’s Day gifts of flowers and candy, too. However, don’t be afraid to put your own twist on things.

Use candy conversation hearts. Many brands have the popular “marry me” heart as part of their mix, and giving her a box filled with them (and the ring at the bottom of the box!) is a unique Valentine's Day proposal idea.

Go all out and fill her house with different kinds of flowers while you send her to a massage or the spa. When she comes home, seize the moment and pop the question.
