Love is indeed in the air this Feb. 14, among couples, between friends, and for the most important relationship of all—the one we have with ourselves. This 14-karat high-polish gold “Love” dog tag from Shy Creation is price upon request.
Valentine’s Day is, arguably, the most romantic day of the year and is often celebrated with the exchange of gifts.

This year, the National Retail Federation is predicting consumers will spend $23.9 billion on Valentine’s Day gifts, including $6.2 billion on jewelry. That’s potentially a lot of rubies and diamonds! 

While most gifts purchased will be for a significant other, you don’t have to be in a relationship to fall in love with the jewelry featured in this Style File. 

Heart- and “love”-themed jewelry can be worn year-round and can serve as reminder of the love others have for you, or the love you have for yourself. 

Here are 14 pieces to be adored this Feb. 14.
