Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples anymore. A growing number of shoppers are spoiling their closest friends with special gifts to celebrate their relationships, and “Galentine’s Day” is gaining popularity everywhere from TikTok to your girls’ group chat. Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston and Riverdale’s Madelaine Petsch all hosted Galentine’s Day events last year, to celebrate the power of female friendships.
Self-care treats and personalised keepsakes are among the most popular Galentine’s gift items. If you’re looking to splash out on your besties this February, Abbott Lyon has a range of beautiful and meaningful jewellery gifts to choose from.
1. The Heart Bracelet
Hearts are universal symbols of love and connection, making a delicate heart bracelet or bangle a thoughtful choice for your Galentine. You can even get a matching set for her and yourself, adding extra luxe to the friendship bracelet trend.
Make it personal: Choose a heart bracelet that includes her birthstone or initial.
2. The Locket Necklace
Find a pic that captures one of your favourite moments together, and add it to a photo locket necklace. This is a charming way to gift your friend a reminder of what makes your connection special.
Make it personal: Choose a locket necklace with her birthstone, or get a meaningful message engraved.
3. The Birthstone Ring
Rings aren’t reserved only for romance; a friendship ring is a great alternative to a traditional friendship bracelet. Gemstones related to your friend’s birth month add sparkle and individuality. A simple gold and silver ring with your bestie’s birthstone makes an ideal Galentine’s Day gift.
Make it personal: Choose a ring design that can be engraved with your friend’s name or a special message.
4. The Charm Bracelet
Jewellery with a story is a big gifting trend this year. Charms are all about individual expression, plus they tap into the Millennial and Gen Z nostalgia for 90s/Y2K-inspired style. Give her a charm bracelet adorned with meaningful symbols, and you can add more as the years go by.
Make it personal: Choose charms that reflect your friend’s aesthetic and interests.
5. The Zodiac Pendant
Adventurous Aries, loyal Virgo or generous Leo? Every friend is bound to have traits you admire. A necklace with a zodiac pendant is the perfect choice for astrology lovers, showing that your bond was truly written in the stars.
Make it personal: Choose a zodiac pendant that includes your bestie’s initial and birthstone too.
This year, show your “forever friends” how much they mean to you with one of these gorgeous Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day jewellery gifts.
