Valentine's Day - a perfect day for engagement, love and beautiful jewelry

Valentine's Day, February 14, is a day when we celebrate love, caring and closeness. It is a day filled with hearts, flowers and warm words – but also a day when many choose to take the next step in their relationship. An engagement on Valentine's Day is something very special – romantic, timeless and loaded with symbolism. But the day is not just about couples – it is also an opportunity to show appreciation to someone you care about, or to treat yourself to something really nice.

The history behind Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day has its roots in Roman history, where several martyrs were named Valentine. According to legend, one of them, Saint Valentine, secretly married young couples – despite the emperor's ban on marriage. For this, he was executed on February 14. During the Middle Ages, the tradition of celebrating this day as a tribute to love grew, and over time the celebration spread around the world. Today, it is one of the most romantic holidays of the year – and the perfect day to show your love in a memorable way.
