The ultimate jewellery gift guide this Valentine’s day
When we hear the word valentine’s, red roses, chocolates, and Cupid comes to mind.
When we hear the word valentine’s, red roses, chocolates, and Cupid comes to mind. If you are looking to give your significant other something memorable and truly unique this valentine’s day, we suggest getting her jewellery.
Why? Because jewellery offers you a variety and versatility like no other gift can. Not to mention how special your valentine will feel when she sees how much effort went into the custom-made jewellery piece.
Finding a gift that reflects and expresses your feelings to your significant other can seem like a scary task. That’s why we tried to make things simple in this month’s blog. Below is a guideline of various gift options available at Ickinger. Spoil your valentine with exceptional jewellery that they will undoubtedly love.
Do’s and Don’ts of Valentine’s jewellery shopping
The most important thing to remember when buying jewellery, especially custom-made ones, is that a piece of jewellery symbolises your life together, so choose with your heart.
With valentine’s day around the corner, you’ll want to keep the following pointers in mind:
- Don’t assume you know her wrist or ring size. There’s nothing worse than getting a ring, and it doesn’t fit. The same applies to bracelets. Before purchasing the jewellery item, be sure to know what size to get.
- Do get creative with her gift. Sure, you can opt for a generic piece of jewellery that is mass-production, or you can blow her away by visiting a professional jeweller for a piece of jewellery with more than just a personal touch.
- Don’t miss the mark on what she likes. Make sure to find out from her friends or perhaps her family if you are unsure what she would prefer.
- Do consider buying earrings, bracelets or necklaces for your significant other when the “engagement talk” is still far away.

Unique rings for a special day
When it comes to valentine’s day proposals, many people are in two minds about the idea of popping the big question. Studies show that some find it adorable, while others find it very tacky. So our advice is to speak to her friends and family before you decide. Here are some pointers to keep in mind.
Look for an engagement ring that matches her personality and style. You can start off by finding out what her metal preference is, gold, silver or perhaps she likes rose gold. Then there’s the ring size. Don’t stress, we’ve got a ring size guide you can look at online. Alternatively, you can have a look at some of her other rings as a size reference.
