Gorgeous Valentine’s for the wife

There are classic gift ideas like; jewelry, a box of sweets, flowers or maybe a sexy lil’ number. The challenge (for me anyway) is how to make these classics spin into something deeply personal, something that really hits the right chord. Ahh, such is the dance we call “love”, right?
Last year, I got my wife a engraved pendant necklace (*above center) that is a simple chain with small handcrafted gold bars inscribed with each of our sons’ names and on the other side of each is a word like “cherish” or “adore.” She treasures it.
I ordered the necklace from the San Fransisco based boutique, Penelope Poet. They carry a beautiful array personal pieces handcrafted by indie jewelrymakers and artisans throughout the country. Pictured above [left lto right] is the classic 14k Gold Love Knot Earrings, the Nashelle Cherished Engraved Bars Necklace and the Amour Circle Filigree Necklace. Pieces from Penelope Poet have been featured in Oprah magazine, Life & Style Weekly and others.
What better way to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day, than by supporting moms and wives who craft beautiful handcrafted pieces.
