15 Jewelry Pieces To Gift Yourself This V-Day

by Eliza Florendo

So you know how Valentine's Day is all about couples and crap? Here's the thing: As Carrie Bradshaw said, "the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship is the one you have with yourself," so this year, buy yourself some jewelry for Valentine's Day. Personally, I'll be rewarding myself with a nice dinner, a mani pedi, and yes, a little jewelry.

Whether you love or hate Valentine's Day, I've got news for you: It's coming either way! So brace yourself, as the cheesy cards, gifts, and flowers make their way all around you. The good news is, though, that chocolates will be on sale for a week after. And let's be honest, that's really the best part of Valentine's Day.

And even though most days for me are ~treat yoself~ days (how many days in a row can I treat myself to a doughnut and latte? I'm not sure...), the one day I truly feel strongly about splurging is Valentine's Day. Cause like, I'm my #1 boo. Like Ru Paul says, "If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?” Can I get an amen?

So if you don't have a significant other this year to get you some nice jewelry, why not get it yourself? Or even if you do, why not reward yourself anyway? I know I'll be doing that. And while dinners, concerts, cakes, and chocolates have a shelf life, jewelry will stay with you forever.

Take a look at some of the prettiest jewels out there to gift yourself without breaking the bank (too much).
