Our 2025 Valentine’s Day Favorites | GLDN
What is Valentine’s Day if not an excuse to love on yourself and the people closest to you? We know, we know—Valentine’s Day can be equally cheesy, stressful and overrated, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Take it as an opportunity for a romantic respite, whether that means a cozy self-care day at home or an indulgent day out with someone you love. And if you (or a loved one) has been eyeing a piece of jewelry…there’s no better way to make their day. 💗
Without further ado: here’s what we’re crushing on this Valentine’s Day.
Crushing On: Subtle Birthstones
Why we love them: they’re less intense and more symbolic than the birthstones of yore. We spent over a year perfecting our Aura Birthstone palette with shades like vintage garnet, forest emerald and more—one for every month of the year. They’re such a sweet, dainty way to keep your loved ones close and carry meaningful affirmations with you!
How to wear them: layer up several of our new Birthstone Beads (they were designed to be stacked!) or start with our bestselling Aura Pendant Necklace as an everyday birthstone piece.
Product featured: Gemstone Initial Pendant / Birthstone Bead Necklace / Grand Baguette Studs / Grand Baguette Ring / Kindred Birthstone Necklace / Silver Aura Birthstone Ring / Extra Birthstone Bead / Solid Gold Birthstone Bead Necklace
Crushing On: Playful Charms
Why we love them: *tiny voice* they are so cuuuuute! 🥹 From a Puppy Paw Charm to a Twinkling Star Charm to a tiny Dagger Charm with moonstones, we have over 30 charms to dress up your chains and hoops. We love them as ways to symbolize your personality, passions and relationships and pay homage to the little things you love most in life. And just in time for Valentine’s Day: a Cherub Charm, Love Potion Charm and tiny Skeleton Key Charm (permission to freak out, granted).
How to wear them: add them to our Charm Holder Necklace, create a Custom Charm Necklace or shop charms separately to adorn pieces you already own and love. Collect charms throughout time or match your jewelry to your mood—you know, like a little chili pepper if you’re feeling extra spicy one day!
Product featured: Collectable Charm Collection (Skeleton Key Charm, Bow Necklace Charm, Cherub Charm, Tiny Heart Charm, Initial Padlock Charm, Chocolate Bar Charm, Full Heart Charm, Love Potion Charm) / Charm Holder Necklace / Custom Charm Bracelet / Skeleton Key Charm on Octavia White Sapphire Hoop
Crushing On: Lab-Grown Diamonds
Why we love them: lab-grown diamonds are physically and chemically identical to mined diamonds in every way…except they’re more affordable and don’t contribute to human rights violations and corrupt mining practices like natural diamonds do. Almost all of our dainty diamonds clock in under $300 (some even under $200!) making this sought-after gemstone more attainable than ever before.
How to wear them: mix in a few dainty rings with your everyday ring stack (the Starscape Diamond Ring and Gaia Diamond Trilogy Ring are two of our current favorites) and add a stud to your earscape in a second or third piercing to elevate any bold pieces you pair with them. The Gaia Diamond Solitaire Studs and Grace Diamond Studs are both under $200, and you can wear them 24/7 since they’re set in solid gold.
Product featured: Starscape Diamond Ring / Eclipse Diamond Ring / Grace Diamond Ring
Crushing On: White Sapphires
Why we love them: compared to a diamond’s intense sparkle, white sapphires have more of an otherworldly glow—perfect if you want to look ethereal. Like our diamonds, our white sapphires are also lab-grown, making them a more affordable, ethical alternative to mined sapphires (that look identical in every way).
How to wear them: don’t be afraid to go bolder with your white sapphires than you would most gemstones. It’ll act as a highlight for your stack without stealing too much of the show! Our Cosmic Intention Ring and Grand Baguette Ring are two centerpiece rings we can’t get enough of, while the Prisma White Sapphire Necklace is a wear-with-everything staple that pairs with longer pendant necklaces and short chains alike.
Product featured: Starscape White Sapphire Ring / Gaia White Sapphire Solitaire Ring / Gaia White Sapphire Trilogy Ring / Eclipse White Sapphire Ring
