Flowers, chocolates, spa days... there's no doubt they're all wonderful gifts to give to someone you love (we all love a deluxe foot spa once in a while). But they're also fleeting, as the flowers wilt, the chocs are scoffed (normally in under an hour) and the away day becomes a nice memory - but jewellery lasts.
Handing someone a genuine gemstone piece is to give a gift that will last a lifetime and beyond. It can be full of meaning, or it can just look pretty, but every gemstone has a story to tell and giving your loved one or treating yourself to jewelry is to own a true piece of Mother Nature, and write the next chapter of its story. Here are our top suggestions for Valentine’s Day gifts that last.
The Color of Love
If you're not sure where to start with Valentine's jewelry, start with Ruby. Red is the color of love, and Gemporia has a wonderful range of Ruby pieces sourced over years of scouring the planet for the very finest hues and tones. You could go for this dainty Burmese piece in 9k gold which loudly displays its beautiful colours. Ruby looks timeless when set in gorgeous gold too, so no matter what design you pick you're sure to get a classic look with expertly-balanced features that sit beautifully on the hand. Ruby is the given gemstone for the 15th and 40th wedding anniversaries, but it could just as easily suit 15 months, weeks, days or - if it's love at first sight - minutes! If you're looking for an extra special piece, try this beautiful Ruby bracelet set into sterling silver.

Don't Know Their Ring Size?
Valentine's Day gift ideas can be even trickier if you want to buy someone a ring and you don't know their size. We've written a cheeky blog full of sneaky hints for finding out someones ring size but the most simple solution remains to buy them a different type of jewelry. These sparkly Garnet earrings look absolutely divine as they shine, sparkle and pick up flashes of light from their surroundings. But earrings aren't the only alternative when looking for Valentine's presents for a loved one. We also stock a wide variety of necklaces, pendants and bracelets in all the colors under the sun, and you can use the drop down menus on the left hand side of our pages to narrow your search by color or gemstone so you can seek out that perfect piece. And if you do need something resized, your local jeweler will be able to create the perfect fit.

Alternative Hues
It’s not all about red, though. Maybe you want to buy your partner their favourite color, or go for something a bit more daring and unusual. This Tanzanite pendant in yellow gold is a great place to start with one of the most popular gems of the last decade, but one which is also running out fast. If you're looking for a bright and sunny stone, may we suggest Citrine? It's a type of Quartz just like Amethyst, and if you like the idea of mixing these two colors together you're in phenomenal luck as Mother Nature has seen fit to gift us Ametrine, a completely natural mix of these two gems. For an exquisite Valentine's Day gift though, look no further than Emerald. If you could capture the joys of springtime in a stone, this would surely be what it would look like? It's been said for centuries that nothing green is greener than Emerald.

Give A Birthstone
You never need to limit yourself to shades of red for Valentine's Day jewelry ideas. It may be the color traditionally associated with the event, but if you're looking for something different, why not gift your loved one their birthstone? Every month of the year has at least one gemstone associated with it, and some have multiple options. February is associated with Amethyst, and this ring, featuring a gem sourced from Morocco, is a beautiful solitaire centerpiece gem set into just the right amount of gold. Amethyst has been associated with St Valentine and Cupid too. Some months feature gemstones that actually come in different colors. January is associated with Garnet, September with Sapphire and October with Tourmaline, but all of these gems are allochromatic, meaning they can show up in many different hues.
