Here Are The Perfect Pieces Of Jewelry For Whomever Your Valentine Is This Year

Chocolates are great and flowers are even better, but seeing as I buy both things for myself on a weekly basis (#selfcare, am I right?), there's something extra special about receiving (and giving!) jewelry gifts for Valentine's Day. There's nothing better than opening up a box and finding a beautiful trinket inside that was picked out with care and love just for you, except maybe watching the face of someone you adore when they unwrap a present you took the same attention in selecting. Plus, jewelry is something that lasts forever—at least for well-organized people, I am not one of them—and can have a memory attached to it that will resurface whenever it's worn.

Whether you're buying a last-minute Valentine's Day gift for your love, your bff, your mom, or yourself — because let's be real, you should be your own number one and Valentine — one of the 12 last-minute jewelry gift selections below will make for the perfect piece. From costume jewelry-esque hearts to styles boasting a more delicate allure, the rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings will all convey the same message: I love you. And they'll do it in a way that looks legitimately cool.
