Every February, it's the same question: what do you give for Valentine's Day that isn't flowers that wilt or a box of chocolates gone in two nights? Our answer: crystal jewelry. Every stone is one of a kind, every stone has a meaning, and the jewelry stays long after February 14. Here are fifteen ideas for her, for him, and for the two of you.
Valentine's gifts for her: soft stones full of tenderness
1. A rose quartz bracelet
If you only pick one stone for Valentine's Day, make it this one. Rose quartz has always been the stone of love and tenderness. It's a bracelet she can wear every day, like a quiet "I love you." Browse our rose quartz jewelry.
2. A rose quartz necklace, close to her heart
The same stone, worn where it means the most. A rose quartz necklace slips under a sweater like a secret you share.
3. An amethyst bracelet
For a dreamy, sensitive soul, purple, soothing amethyst says "I wish you peace." Shop our amethyst jewelry.
4. A moonstone pendant
With its milky, shifting glow, moonstone is the stone of intuition and femininity. See our moonstone jewelry.
5. A bracelet with her birthstone
This is the most personal idea on the list. Every month has its stone, so giving her the bracelet for her birth month means giving her jewelry that's all about her. Our birthstone guide lists the stone for every month.

6. A tiger's eye bracelet
Golden and banded, tiger's eye is the stone of confidence and grounding, and the classic men's bracelet. See our tiger's eye jewelry.
7. A protection bracelet
Black tourmaline, obsidian, hematite: dark, deep colors that stand for a shield. Our protection bracelets bring these stones together. They've long been worn as quiet armor against the hassles of the outside world.
8. An obsidian pendant
Born from lava and deep black, obsidian disappears under a shirt, and once he puts it on, he won't take it off. See our obsidian jewelry.
9. An onyx bracelet
Onyx is dark elegance at its best. It's known as a stone of inner strength, and it goes with everything. Browse our onyx jewelry.
Valentine's gifts for couples: matching jewelry
10. A matching bracelet set, one for each of you

Each of you wears the stone of the other's birth month. It's a subtle way to keep each other close, right on your wrist. You'll find the stone for every month in our birthstone guide.
12. For a long-distance relationship
The same stone, worn miles apart. Many long-distance couples choose two identical bracelets, like an invisible thread between two wrists.
