Different Valentines Gifts: Antique and Vintage Jewellery Chosen by Personality
A thoughtful guide to choosing Antique and Vintage Jewellery that feels deeply personal this Valentines Day.
De Bruns Antique Jewellery prides itself on helping customers choose jewellery that carries meaning, emotion, and individuality. Valentines is one of the most important gifting moments of the year especially when you are searching for something that feels right, not rushed.
Rather than asking “What should I buy?”, the better question is: “Who is she?”
Antique Jewellery, by its very nature, celebrates individuality. No two pieces are ever quite the same—just like the person you’re buying for.
Below, we explore different Valentines gifts, thoughtfully matched to personality, to help you choose with confidence and care.
Why Choose Antique Jewellery for Valentines?
- Modern gifts can feel interchangeable. Antique jewellery never does
- Crafted in rich 9ct and 18ct Gold
- Designed with longevity and wearability in mind
- Naturally distinctive and full of character
- Chosen by those who value authenticity over trends
Our customers often tell us that what sets us apart is not just the Jewellery, but the experience: expert guidance, personal service, and a genuine understanding of how important these moments are.
For the Calm, Grounded Soul
Consider:
- Smooth antique gold bands
- Pearl-set rings with gentle luminosity
- Elegant Edwardian-era pieces with refined proportions
These valentines gifts speak quietly—but say everything.
Understated beauty is key here. Look for softness in tone and simplicity in design. We would recommend our 9ct Yellow Gold Fede Gimmel Ring.
A Fede Gimmel ring is a rare and highly symbolic type of antique ring, traditionally associated with love, fidelity, and union, making it especially meaningful in the context of engagement, marriage, or romantic gifting such as Valentines.

For the Romantic Traditionalist
Antique jewellery shines brightest when emotion is at the centre.
Beautiful options include:
- Victorian rings with romantic motifs
- Ruby and Diamond combinations symbolising devotion
- Warm gold tones that feel instantly familiar
These options are perfect for Anniversaries, meaningful milestones, and heartfelt Valentines gestures. We believe our 18ct Ruby and Diamond Five Stone Half Eternity Ring is a good choice for a Romantic Traditionalist.
A Ruby and Diamond Eternity Ring is an especially fitting choice for a Romantic Traditionalist because it combines deep historical symbolism, enduring materials, and a design language that has expressed love for centuries without ever feeling predictable.

For the Life & Soul of the Party
This is the moment to embrace colour, geometry, and confidence.
Look for:
- Art Deco Statement Rings
- Bold Gemstone combinations
- Designs with strong visual impact
These are Valentines gifts that start conversations and never go unnoticed. For the Life and Soul of the Party we would suggest that our 12ct Yellow Gold Diamond Navette Cluster Ring is the ideal gift for her.
Historically, Cocktail Rings were made for evenings out, celebrations, and moments worth marking. A Diamond Navette Ring captures that spirit beautifully. This one is glamorous, confident, and unapologetically joyful.

For a Woman Going Through a Challenging Time
Jewellery can be grounding—something worn daily, close to the skin.
Thoughtful choices include:
- Antique Gold Lockets
- Sapphire Rings associated with calm and clarity
- Gold chains with reassuring weight and warmth
These gifts are about presence, not performance and we would recommend our 9ct Rose Gold Albert Chain with Fob Medal from 1923.
This chain offers comfort, continuity, and quiet strength without demanding attention or celebration. It becomes something to reach for instinctively, almost like a talisman.

For the Creative Thinker
Creative women are drawn to pieces that feel expressive rather than conventional.
Beautiful options include:
- Antique Enamel pieces
- Art Nouveau influenced designed with organic lines
- Unusual Gemstone cuts that feel one-of-a-kind
These Valentines gifts feel personal, thoughtful, and quietly daring and one of our favourite pieces is our 18ct Gold and Diamond Art Pendant.
It’s ideal for someone who values individuality, thoughtful design, and quiet expression. A pendant that reflects imagination, sensitivity, and a love of beauty found in the details.
