One Step Ahead (And Just In Time)

Dear San Francisco Jewelry Doctor:

My girlfriend prides herself on being different. She’s aware of the trends, all right, but she’s always on the lookout for something everybody else isn’t wearing. Any ideas for jewelry that says “Valentine’s Day,” but maybe puts a different spin on the usual themes?

Dear DESTINY:

 

Welcome! You’ll find ideas galore in the recent stories here for Valentine’s Day, and here are even more fresh ideas for your sweetheart.

 

Try this Mozambique garnet-diamond pendant.

Or this updated heart on a chain.

How about a heart bracelet dotted with amethyst?

This bracelet says, “Two hearts are better than one.”

Here’s an eye-catching pendant featuring diamonds set in rose gold.  https://www.stuller.com/products/87473/?groupId=206338&categoryId=28080&recommendationSource=CategoryBrowse

 

With earrings to match, natch.

And while we’ve all seen that charm bracelet with the heart toggle (not that there’s anything wrong with that), how about one with hearts top to bottom?

Or one that fastens with a heart?

This bracelet holds a tiny key.

And last, but not least, here’s an earring she won’t see coming and going—a hoop in the shape of a heart.

So many choices! And, if you call us circa immediately at 415/796-3969 (text 415/596-4244), just in the nick of time, too.

Paging Carole Lombard

The mail is just piling up over here! Always great to hear from you.

Dear San Francisco Jewelry Doctor:

 

I sometimes ask my girlfriend, “Are you sure you’re not time-travelling from another century?” She likes ’30s movies, late ’50s cars, makes a mean meatloaf, and—get this—she sends thank you notes. Thank you notes! I don’t know anybody else who does that.  

 

So the latest, trendiest styles are not for her, and that’s what you see everywhere. What’s a guy to do? I saved up and took her to New York one year (we spent most of our time in the historical museums, natch, and looking at old churches. Oy.). But in the pandemic, we’re not supposed to travel. And perhaps you’ve heard that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner? Help!

Dear STIFLE:

 

Yes, word has reached your Jewelry Doctor that Valentine’s Day is on the horizon, and she stands ready to help you. (Actually, she was standing but she’s sitting down for the moment, nibbling on a chocolate heart.)

 

Thank you notes! Your girlfriend is our kind of people. Here’s something from Stuller that looks tailor-made for her. (It’ll also bring a smile to the people on the receiving end of her notes.) It’s pictured in 14 karat gold, and it’s also available in white gold, rose gold, platinum, and sterling silver.

Here are its companion earrings.

A heart earring would also be a great choice to accompany the necklace. Here are a couple ideas.

If her ears aren’t pierced, not to worry; we can change the posts or wires to clips. Just call us at 415/796-3969 (text 415/596-4244) and we’ll take care of all the details.
