Gemstones, precious jewelry, and handcrafted luxury timepieces offer a distinct advantage over ephemeral Valentine’s Day trinkets like chocolates or greeting cards. By investing in fine jewelry or a luxury timepiece crafted to an exceptional standard, the giver offers the recipient a lifetime of precious memories they can enjoy again and again with each wear.
With this in mind, Stephen and Jared Silver have curated a Valentine’s Day luxury gift guide calculated to bring joy to any recipient on this special holiday, each available at the Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry boutique at the Rosewood Sand Hill resort in Silicon Valley.
