I, as I'm sure many other women in the western world, have a love/hate relationship with 14th February. I love it when I have a boyfriend but hate and try my best to ignore the day when I don't have one. I am very lucky to have had one for the last 4 years...
The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pop Gelasius I in 500 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, but its religious observance is still permitted. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
And with love in mind, I decided to come up with some "heartfelt" jewellery! Haa haa!
Below is my popular Simple Silver Heart
