Valentine's Day Favorites


Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and we've compiled a list for those needing a little inspiration this year. While you can never go wrong with heart jewelry (what can we say, we heart hearts!), we also offer a bevy of other choices for that special someone in your life.




Our first pick is the Alter Ego Cinderella Fairy Godmother Bracelet. What's a girl to do without a fairy godmother to help her find her prince charming? For those still searching for their prince, this bracelet will be a lovely companion on that quest. As with all Alter Ego jewelry, this piece will turn heads and is destined to be a conversation starter. Alter Ego jewelry is designed by the lovely and talented Erika Walton. Erika is one of our favorite young designers with a fun eye for design. All of her pieces are one-of-a-kind collectibles made from both new and vintage components.




Betsey Johnson's Dollhouse jewelry collection is filled with iconic hearts, pretty roses, and crystal baubles that scream love and romance. The line is inspired by the Eloise Suite at the Plaza Hotel which Betsey Johnson herself designed, and has touches of girlish pink enamel detailing and whimsical charms including vanity mirrors, dolls, birdhouses, and rubber duckies. There are plenty of pink hearts, bows and engagement rings sprinkled throughout. One of our favorite pieces include the Betsey Johnson Betsey's Dollhouse Heart Locket Necklace, which has a pink enamel heart locket studded with sparkly crystals, that also opens to reveal a sweet little engagement ring inside - a fun little surprise that makes this necklace all the more sweeter. For those that love romance, you can't go wrong with Betsey Johnson Dollhouse Jewelry.




For a classic gift that will stand the test of time, we recommend a locket necklace from Catherine Popesco. Set in antiqued silver (a unique French process of laying sterling silver plate over a copper base), these treasured keepsakes can be filled with photos of loved ones, keeping them always close to her heart. The Catherine Popesco Necklace - Charm I Love You Silver is also a very unique piece that features a love letter envelope pendant that actually opens to reveal a "I Love You" note tucked inside. Catherine Popesco creates vintage-inspired pieces that exude old world charm and the romance of an era gone by. Each piece is hand crafted in Paris using original jewelry molds that were created in the early 1900's. Catherine Popesco jewelry are modern day treasures that reflect the art and culture of the past, while holding a valuable place in the present.




We love the Chan Luu Crystal Fuchsia Mix on Black Leather for its myriad combination of beautifully faceted, sparkly pink and fuchsia crystals. Exclusive to Regencies, this Chan Luu wrap bracelet is bold and beautiful, and perfect for any girl that loves pink and all things sparkly.




Give her a fairytale ending with Disney Couture Jewelry that will enchant and delight. Shower her with intricately carved roses that will have her falling in love all over again. Our Disney Couture Snow White Rose Resin Red Ring makes a lovely gift that will remind her of you every time she wears it. It might even inspire a poem starting with "Roses are red..."




Want to tell her how much she means to you, but can't find the words? Let the poetic folks at Dogeared Jewels do it for you. Our Dogeared "Key To My Heart" Necklace says it all on a beautiful card that reads "you have found the key to my heart, opened it up, and filled it with love and light! i'm so happy to let you in! wear your necklace as a reminder that i will cherish you always!" Who needs Shakespeare when you've got Dogeared Jewelry to the rescue. She'll appreciate the thoughtfulness and sincerity that is behind every Dogeared gift.




Treat her like the belle of the ball with Cinderella inspired jewelry from Parisian design house Les Nereides N2. The Les Douze Coups De Minuit (Twelve Strokes of Midnight) collection is filled with charms of Cinderella herself in a feathery white ball down, her handsome prince charming, an enchanted magical castle, a gilded carriage, a fairy wand, and a "glass" slipper of course! For the ultimate Valentine's Day event, surprise her with a night of dinner, dancing, and a horse-drawn ride across town - a modern day Cinderella story that will have her feeling like a princess indeed!




Give her the key to your heart with classic sterling silver jewelry from Lois Hill. Beautifull detailed with granulation beading, and cutout workmanship, these timeless treasures symbolize the simple beauty of being in love. Our Lois Hill Heart Lock w/ Key Necklace and Bracelet make a wonderful set with their heart shaped key coupled with a lovely granulated lock charm.




A scrumptious confection of fabric roses, decadent pearl beads, dazzling crystals, and richly colored ribbons, Mary Frances Bag - Truly Scrumptious is a veritable bouquet of beauty. The best part? Unlike fresh flowers, these roses are designed to last.





Rodrigo Otazu
, who we aptly name the prince of crystals, takes high quality Swarovski Austrian crystals and transforms them into dramatically spectacular jewelry. Rodrigo Otazu describes his work as "always about light. It is the most important ingredient and the secret of my success." Hold a piece. Watch the metal flow like water and the stones reflect the light they have gathered on their journey. Each Otazu creation explores a new interplay of water and light, a new dance in celebration of femininity. His jewelry is all hand crafted in pewter, with a generous use of unrivaled Swarovski Austrian crystals. The Otazu Necklace - Classic First Kiss Fresh is no exception with its crystal encrusted hearts, faceted beads, and luminescent baubles.




For the girls that love all things Hello Kitty, we have the ultimate kitty-licious rings from Wendy Gell. Each Wendy Gell piece is completely handmade and truly one-of-a-kind. Pieces are composed of both new and vintage materials, including jewels and rhinestones, brightly colored Swarovski Austrian crystals, small antique toys, and other vintage finds. Wendy Gell describes herself as an artist who paints with jewels. Her pieces sparkle with color and creativity. Our limited edition Wendy Gell heart-shaped collage rings are sure to go fast, so get yours while you can.
