Valentine's Day 2025 falls on Friday, 14 February, which means a full romantic weekend for many couples. It's also one of the most popular days of the year to propose.
Gift ideas
- Heart-shaped or pear diamond pendants: romantic and unmistakably Valentine's.
- Diamond studs: the gift that gets worn every day.
- A half-eternity band: perfect for an anniversary or a "just because" moment.
- A tennis bracelet: timeless luxury, now far more affordable with lab-grown diamonds.
Planning a proposal?
UK couples increasingly choose oval, round and emerald-cut lab-grown centre stones, often in a solitaire or hidden-halo setting. Bespoke design is popular, and we explain how it works in bespoke engagement rings in the UK.
UK buying tips
- Check the UK hallmark on gold and platinum above the legal thresholds.
- Ask for an IGI or GIA report for centre stones.
- Make sure the item is clearly described as lab-grown.
- If ordering from abroad, include import VAT and courier fees in your budget.
Timing
Ready-made pieces can arrive quickly, but custom rings need a few weeks. If you're planning to propose on the 14th, start now.
