Wilkinson Goldsmiths is the place to save you from the peril of purchasing a bunch of posies from the local petrol station. If you want to get something a little bit different this year, take a look at our five of our favourite pieces that we think your other half will adore.
If you’re not sure, you can always visit Stephen or Danielle in store to discuss what you are looking for, they’re more than happy to help you find the perfect gift.
Let us know what you think about our chosen pieces – we’ll be Facebooking and Tweeting them over the next couple of weeks and would love to know what you like and what you don’t like so much.
So here they are, our five favourite gifts to treat the special someone in your life…
1. ‘Heart’ ring, by FOU Jewellery, £60
Made from sterling silver, can be sized or ordered to get the perfect fit. FOU is unique to Wilkinson Goldsmiths, found nowhere else in Leicestershire. Quirky designs made by Cassie Bassett themed on flora and fauna. Come into store to see a selection of the Insectum, Calvariam and Floreo collections.
2. Swan thread earrings, from Aurum by Gudbjorg, £75
Hand-made in sterling silver. Aurum jewellery is inspired by nature creating three dimensional designs giving a modern and timeless finish. These earrings are taken from the Swan collection. Aurum jewellery by designer Guðbjörg Kristín Ingvarsdótir is located in Iceland’s lively capital Reykjavík and we are fortunate to currently be the only stockist in Leicestershire.
3. Rose Bracelet, by MANJA, £115
Cast in sterling silver and rose gold plated, chain can be adjusted to suit. This bracelet is a better buy than a single red rose. MANJA is a London-based jewellery brand, inspired by an extraordinary Madagascan family heritage in jewellery design that goes back five generations.

4. Rings necklace and matching bracelet, necklace £270, bracelet £138
Made in sterling silver, this necklace and bracelet are on trend and would make great everyday wear, as well as for special occasions. Although at the higher end of the budget – this is guaranteed to put a smile on your lady’s face.
5. Romantorum Pendant, by Wilkinson Goldsmiths, £749
Unique from start to finish, hand-made on the premises by Stephen – our goldsmith at the bench. This pendant is made in 18ct White Gold and features a perfectly set 0.08ct diamond, on an 18” chain. This is one very special purchase.
There you have it, our five (six if you count the bracelet too) favourite pieces of jewellery that are perfect for giving to your loved one this Valentine’s Day.
