Rachelle Barimany, a gemologist and co-owner of Dominion Jewelers, has put together a list of her top seven picks for Valentine’s Day gifts. Here they are:

1. The paper clip chain represented unity and was a symbol of resistance during WWII. The humble paperclip brought people together in peaceful solidarity against Nazi Germany. Eighty years later, trend casters are naming paperclip necklaces as one of the biggest trends of the year. Characterized by elongated chain links fastened together in different metals, these necklaces are simple but carry a strong statement. They come in a wide array of styles with some chunkier links and others are longer and thinner. They can be worn dressed up for a night out or add just enough flair to jeans and a white t-shirt while running errands.

2. Many believe that open-heart jewelry is symbolic of love for a person who's away from you because of geographical distance. It also represents the strong connection that two people share. Typically, both partners wear matching open-heart jewelry to showcase their love and bond. This pendant is surrounded by 28 small diamonds to accentuate that love and create a little bling to accent the beautiful shape of a heart in yellow gold.

3. Unity, wholeness and completeness are just some of the ideas behind a circle pendant. Many people believe that giving someone a circle pendant symbolizes eternal love. This piece has been generously surrounded with thirty diamonds to accent it on the neck.

4. The rainbow heart pendant is a symbol of gratitude, hope and inclusion. This pendant has a variety of colors of sapphires, pink, orange, yellow, green and blue.

5. Bezel set gemstone earrings are a wonderful way to recognize an anniversary, favorite color, or child’s birth. Available in all colors, shapes and sizes. A bezel setting looks very modern, so you might be surprised to know that this was probably the first known method used to set stones into jewelry. Bezel settings perfectly achieve an impactful but minimal feel, showcasing diamonds and gemstones the way a frame holds a painting.

6. Bar necklace makes for fabulous layering pieces. You can wear it as a stand-alone item or bring on more to create a fuller look. They can be created in any way you can imagine. Think about what you can repurpose to create a new bar necklace that’s more up with the times.

7. The solitaire necklace is a must-have for every woman. A single stone, they can be customized with any color, any shape, any length.
