Our Valentine’s Day Top Ten Favorite Gift Picks!

February 9, 2018

Valentine’s Day is almost here! Need some gift ideas for that special someone or some fun things to hint at for yourself? We’ve made it easy this year with our top ten picks to bring the love this Valentine’s Day. Flowers wilt within the week and chocolate gets eaten as soon as it is opened, but jewelry will let your love sparkle on all year long!

Compass Rose- Let Love Guide the Way

We love our beautiful Compass Rose necklaces and bracelets. Not only are they elegant, but they have a lovely meaning as well. Keep the sentiment that “Life brings us to unexpected places. Love brings us home” or choose one of our custom cards tailored to different relationships and occasions. We are particularly fond of the new two-tone necklace with rose gold for the romantic-at-heart.

Pandora Bracelets- Charm Her

Pandora is a classic choice for a memorable and meaningful gift. Not only is it alluring, the thought that goes into choosing a charm makes it a personal experience. We love some of the new bracelet styles that have been introduced in the past year. Not only are they a great way to start a Pandora bracelet for someone who is new to the charm world, they are a wonderful way to give life to an old collection of charms. The new open bangle has become one of our best-selling bracelets, and for good reason. Not only is it easy to take on and off, but it comes with spacers to keep your charms in place and fits more naturally to your wrist than a round bracelet. The new heart lock bracelet is also a stunning addition to the collection.

The great thing about the curated collections that are released for Valentine’s Day is that they are designed around a common theme. This makes it easy to add some beautiful jewelry pieces that coordinate with the charms to make a well-rounded gift! We love the “Love Locks” pieces from this years collection. The “You & Me” ring is also a sweet piece for a young girl.

Sorrelli Jewelry- Sparkle Your Way Into Her Heart

Does your girl love to sparkle? Sorrelli Jewelry will help her shine! Crafted with Swarovski crystals, this locally designed jewelry line (from Kutztown, PA!) makes both statement pieces and everyday gems to help your special someone get her glitter on. Even better- until Valentine’s Day, purchases in Sorrelli Jewelry of $100 or more will receive a beautiful pair of blush stud earrings for free!

Stacking Bracelets- Create a One-of-a-Kind Collection

Does your special someone celebrate every day with her own arm party of stacking bracelets? Let us help you create a coordinated stack to express your love and fit into her personal style and personality!

Thortiuda- Call Her Angel

Our Thortiuda pendants are a staff favorite- they are one of the pieces of jewelry we get the most compliments on! Classic in style but unique enough to stand out in a crowd, these necklaces open to allow the chime inside to be interchanged for different colors. Named for the Thai word for angel, the necklace is designed from traditional necklaces meant to call your guardian angel. Each colored chime has a different meaning- choose one that best captures your sentiment for the season!

Pandora Rose- For the Romantic

The vintage color of rose gold is popular with the bohemian and romantic personalities alike. Pandora Rose, a proprietary metal blend that combines sterling silver and copper, gives the beautiful hue of rose gold without the price of a solid rose gold piece. This year’s Valentine’s Day collection has some fun new additions in the Pandora Rose. We love the typography-inspired “I Love You” dangle charm. Combining both silver and the Pandora Rose, it is a great way to start on a two-tone bracelet!

WinterLemon- You are my Sun, My Moon, and All My Stars

We love the celestial pieces in our locally-made WinterLemon jewelry, which are handmade from precious metals and genuine gemstones. We think they are a stylish way to express the heavenly nature of love. Not only do they let you show your love for your special someone, they let you show your love for you community as well be supporting a local artist!

Diamonds Are Always a Good Idea

Elizabeth Taylor once said “Big girls need big diamonds”- and for good reason! A girl may have dreams of silver and CZs, but give a woman a diamond! One of the strongest materials on earth, diamond jewelry is an investment piece made to last. Unlike silver fashion jewelry which is not meant for everyday use and will not stand the test of time, giving a gift of gold and precious gemstones means giving a gift that can be worn for decades with the same sparkle.

Alex and Ani- A Gift for the Gals

Celebrating Galentine’s Day with your girlfriends? Drop them a sweet treat with one of Alex and Ani’s new Valentine’s Day bangles! We love the new “Mon Amie” bangle as a way of celebrating friendship- it translates to “My Friend” from French. Add a sparkling Swarovski bangle or one of the new beaded pieces in the shiny rose finish for an extra touch of sparkle!

Chase & Wonder- Humor Her

Does your special someone always tell you that one of her favorite things about you is your sense of humor? Check out some of our fun tongue-in-cheek gifts from upstairs in Haven! Does she always have an overflowing armful of things as she heads out the door to work or school? Get her one of our Chase & Wonder “Foxy Lady” totes!

Is one of your favorite times of the day the early morning when you sit side-by-side reaching optimal levels of caffeine together? Get a matching set of His and Hers coffee mugs. Fill them with some chocolates or a gift card to her favorite coffee place to add an extra treat!

The Gift of Choice

Are you feeling overwhelmed this Valentine’s Day? Give her the gift of choosing her own perfect gift with a Versant gift card. If you want to have something fun for her to unwrap, pick one of our fun (and affordable!) Katie Loxton pouches or wallets to hide the gift card in- when she opens it up she will get an extra surprise.

Stop by Versant to see all of our picks and person! While you are here, save yourself some time (and tape)- we will gift wrap your treasures in our signature wrapping for free. As always, thank you to all of our wonderful customers for choosing to #shopsmall with us and support our local small business.

Alex and Ani, Limited Edition, New Arrivals

The Alex and Ani 2017 Pre-Autumn Collection Arrives

July 19, 2017

The Alex and Ani Pre-Autumn mini collection has arrived at Versant! Included in this small collection are redesigned versions of some of our favorite retired styles, a new Core style, and four new Words are Powerful Limited Edition seasonal bangles.

Some of our favorite core bangles were retired early this year and have, until now, only been available as the new cuffs. With this new collection Healing Love, Godspeed, and Cosmic Balance are invited back into the bangle world! We love both the meanings and the aesthetic of these three designs. In keeping with the newer designs, the redesigned bangles have a more 3-dimensional feel and most of them feature sparkling Swarovski stones.

We love the new Cosmic Balance design with the halo of sparkling stars around the sun and moon. The Godspeed is a nice balance of the geometric and the natural and makes a great addition to any charmed arm.

The redesigned Healing Love has the shape of an 8-pointed star and is the only new bangle style that does not include a crystal. In addition to the three redesigned styles, a new symbol has been added! The Evil Eye, a symbol of protection across cultures, is set against an ornate background and has a bright blue gaze.

In addition to the new core styles, four new seasonal Words are Powerful styles are included in this collection. We love the Thankful (a great bangle to grab now and keep as a Thanksgiving gift!). The Just Breathe is a fun gift for the Yoga girl. Both the Wanderlust and the Create your Destiny are great gifts for the new grad setting out on their next adventure!

In addition to the new bangles, two new Rafaelian silver expandable necklaces have arrived in the Cosmic Balance and Evil Eye designs. The necklaces include two moveable beads that allow for the addition of two more chain station charms.

Interested in the new Alex and Ani pieces? It is always better to see them in person to get a true idea of their size and detail!
