What is romantic jewelry? It is basically any jewelry given for a romantic reason - for Valentine’s Day, for an anniversary, or for an engagement.
There are also types of jewelry that are specifically made for romantic occasions. These range from necklaces to rings, but all encapsulate romantic messages.
1. Eternal Knot
A “love knot” or “eternal knot” symbolizes love that will last forever. This is represented by the entwined bands of the ring. These rings are often very beautiful, made with lovely precious metals and oftentimes precious stones. Sometimes they are encrusted with diamonds. The most beautiful part of them is that they give the message that love is eternal. Even more romantic, it is possible to have the rings personalized. This type of jewelry is intended for long-term relationships.
2. Personalized Rings and Other Jewelry
Personalized rings can be very romantic. These types of rings are worn by both people in the couple, and each person has a ring with the other’s name engraved on it. Other forms of personalized jewelry include necklaces or pendants, which can have both names. They can also be made to have the other person’s name, which can remind the wearer and anyone nearby that they have a special person. As stated with suggestion #1, this jewelry style probably is more suited to long-term relationships.

The Theobroma Cacao or ‘the food of the Gods’ is what we all know as the cocoa tree. It’s origins can be traced back to South America’s rain forests, particularly to Central America, although historians are still at variance over certain facts surrounding this tree.
It is suggested that the Mayans first grew the cacao tree in 300 AD, although others point to inadequate evidence that it was grown or at least harvested in around 3,000 BC. The Aztecs also used the cacao, but from about 1100 AD.
The chocolate (drink) that we all know today was called ‘xocoatl’. It was a very exclusive beverage that was made with cacao, chilies, anise seed, vanilla, corn meal and some other spices. It is believed that only royalty were allowed to drink it and then only from golden chalices, which were to be used for the purpose only once.
The cacao tree is very sensitive to its environment and it most frequently grows in the shade of the rain forest canopy. If only for this reason alone, chocolate lovers should join forces with the environmentalists to save the rain forests so that the cacaos will continue to exist.

The “heart shape” often conjures up thoughts of love and romance. It has worked its way into our treasured annual holidays like St. Valentine’s Day, into greeting cards and gifts, and into our jewelry designs as well. As we all know, jewelry is often made out of precious metals like gold and silver, and precious gems like diamonds and emeralds, and by incorporating the “heart shape” we are produce an object that displays the eternal ideas of romance, love, caring, and belonging. We will now explore the origins of heart jewelry, the “heart shape symbol”, and the world’s most famous heart-shaped diamond.
The “heart symbol” has been around for years, used to refer to the spiritual, emotional, moral, and intellectual core of humans. It’s often depicted as “red” as this symbolizes blood (as it is the heart that pumps blood through the body) and strong emotions…and what emotion can possibly be stronger than that of true love?

Jewelry with horses on it, otherwise known as horse jewelry, has fascinated people throughout the ages. Dating back to the most ancient of times, families and individuals would often incorporate the images of a horse on their most treasures possessions…including their jewelry. It was usually made from the most precious of metals and gems, such as silver, gold and of course, diamonds. Passed down from generation to generation, they were to become valuable keepsakes.
Where did this practice come from? This desire to put a “mere animal” into beautiful jewelry that will be owned and loved and yes, shown to others? When we think of the horse it’s not hard to fathom. The horse is an animal with a number of desirable traits…traits that we all hope to possess in our own character. Some of these traits are:
1) Strength - Horses have been asked to perform many of man’s most menial tasks. Consider the workhorses like the Clydesdale for example. They are powerful enough to pull the famous Budweiser wagons, and plow the fields as well. A piece of jewelry that incorporates the horse design will exude the strength and power of this animal. This type of gift is very popular amongst men.
