A double heart ring is a beautiful promise or friendship ring for a couple to share, but if it's not right for you, there are many other options.

A heart-shaped locket is a sweet and intimate Valentine's day gift or piece of loving jewelry to wear. Heart lockets come in a wide range of styles, with and without diamonds, engraving, or etching on the surface. For a secret touch, add photos, a lock of hair, or a note to the inside of the locket.

Flowers are another traditional Valentine's Day gift, and roses are the most popular. Instead of real blooms, however, jewelry roses can be a beautiful alternative that will not wilt or fade. Pins, brooches, rings, earrings, and pendants are all available in rose designs, either created from carved or sculpted metal, jewel-encrusted patterns, or porcelain.

If you are into Italian charms, there are many Valentine designs you can choose from. Printed sentiments such as "Be My Valentine," "I Love U" and "Sweetheart" are popular, or you can also choose from charms decorated with hearts, Valentine candies, flowers, and Cupid designs.

Chocolate pearls are another decadent jewelry option to give or wear on Valentine's Day. These rich brown pearls come in a variety of shades and can be found in rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Single color strands are popular, but for a more unique look, choose pieces that feature pearls in different chocolate hues.

Dog tags are a trendy type of jewelry, and there are several Valentine designs to choose from. The simplest dog tags may have hearts engraved on the surface or cut out of the tag, or they may have an etched Valentine message. A more elaborate design is a convertible dog tag that swivels to change from a classic dog tag shape to a heart pendant.

An eternity ring is a beautiful and symbolic choice of Valentine jewelry to give someone very special. These jewel encrusted rings feature an unbroken line of stones around the circumference, and they come in many designs. Diamond eternity rings are the most popular, and opting for pink diamonds set in rose gold is a sweet and charming choice for Valentine's Day.

There are many designs of heart earrings available, and any of them will be suitable as a Valentine's Day piece of jewelry. For more whimsy, however, look for conversation heart styles with classic Valentine sentiments carved into them.

If you want your jewelry to make a bold statement, choose larger pieces that feature a number of hearts. These dangle earrings are a fun option to wear on Valentine's Day for a casual event, yet they're elegant enough for a special date or dance as well.

Swan are a popular romantic symbol that can be used for subtle Valentine jewelry. A swan cameo with a pair of birds is a popular choice, or you can find swan pendants and pins as well. Some will be carved, while others will have gemstone accents or pave designs.

Valentine's Day is one of the most popular days to get engaged, and it is perfectly symbolized by a classic round diamond solitaire engagement ring. If you want to add more flair to the ring to show its connection to Valentine's Day, choose a heart-shaped stone, a ruby, or a pink diamond instead.

Chinese character jewelry is a popular trend, and a ring or pendant with the symbol for "Love" is a romantic choice for Valentine's Day. Other options include the characters for "Hope" "Friends" "Joy" "Eternity" and "Truth" depending on who you plan to share the jewelry with.

Cupid jewelry designs are always popular in February. There are many earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and pins featuring a cherub holding a heart-tipped bow, but for a more unique design choose jewelry that only has the bow or even just an arrow.
