Jewelry expert’s advice for Valentine’s Day: how to choose a gift that truly speaks about feelings
Valentine’s Day is not only a gift but also a message. Jewelry gains special meaning on this day, as it becomes a symbol of feelings, commitment, and personal history.
“Jewelry should reflect not the occasion, but the person it is given to. Only then does it become real value rather than a short-term gesture,” says Airidas Ulevičius, Head Jeweler and Head of “Auksinė svajonė”.

“Over more than 15 years in the jewelry field, I see one recurring trend — people are not looking for just a beautiful gift, but one that carries meaning and lasts for years.”
According to the expert, the most common Valentine’s Day choices are gold earrings, necklaces, and engagement rings, as these are universal, everyday pieces that remind the wearer of the giver for more than just a single day.
Why trust: experience, projects, personal craftsmanship
Airidas Ulevičius has worked in jewelry for more than 15 years. During this time, he has participated in international exhibitions, created custom projects for clients, built a professional jewelry team, and personally takes part in production and selection processes.
“It is important for me not only to manage but also to work with metal, stones, and forms myself. Only in this way can you maintain quality and a genuine connection with each piece,” he emphasizes.
This allows him not only to follow trends but also to understand what truly suits people rather than what merely looks good in a display window.
6 key principles when choosing a Valentine’s Day jewelry gift
1. The gift should match the person, not the occasion.
Gold jewelry becomes special when it suits the personality, not just the holiday date.
2. Earrings — a safe and elegant choice.
Gold earrings are one of the most universal Valentine’s Day gifts: suitable for women of different ages and requiring no perfect sizing.
3. Neck jewelry speaks about closeness.
A pendant or chain often carries emotional meaning — it is worn close to the heart.
4. Engagement rings — a bold but meaningful decision.
Valentine’s Day is increasingly chosen for proposals.
“When choosing an engagement ring, it is important to think not about fashion but about longevity — both in design and in feelings,” says the jeweler.
5. Quality matters more than size.
A smaller but high-quality piece often leaves a stronger impression than a large but short-term option.
6. Consultation is not a weakness but a strength.
Consulting a jeweler means gifting confidently, without guessing.
Rubies and creating individuality in jewelry
In recent years, interest in rubies has been growing — they symbolize love, passion, and a strong bond. Rubies are often chosen both as the main stone and as a subtle accent.
“More and more clients choose the idea of embedding a small stone — for example, a ruby — inside the jewelry piece. This gives the item uniqueness,” shares Airidas Ulevičius.
Another popular idea is to add a new stone to the jewelry each year, creating a personal couple’s story.
“This can become a beautiful tradition — each stone marks a stage of life together, a memory, or an important event,” adds the expert.
Counterarguments and jeweler’s responses
“I’m afraid I won’t match the taste.”
“In that case, choose a classic design or a custom solution that can be adjusted later,” advises Airidas.
“Jewelry is too serious a gift.”
“Sometimes serious gifts are the ones that last a lifetime. What matters is not the price but the thought and meaning,” answers the jeweler.
