As February 14 draws near, you may find yourself meandering through the jewelry department in search of the best jewelry gifts for someone special. Diamonds, pearls, gemstones—it can be difficult to navigate. Here at Vogue HQ, we’ve curated the best jewelry gifts at each price point to make gift-giving—one of my favorite love languages—a bit less tricky.

Thankfully (for you and me!), this year, I’m getting better at keeping notes and I don’t mind sharing. Gift the pearls that stand the test of time; the perfect (and very well priced!) locket for anyone near and dear; the adorable heart piece for when cupid strikes. Jewelry gifts offer longevity beyond trends and often can have the added layer of being deeply personal for both the giver and receiver. 

To all those gift-givers out there, use this list as inspiration for Valentine’s Day—and any other holiday. May yours bookmark this, too! Shop the best jewelry gifts at the moment, below.
