Valentine’s Day, a celebration of romance and affection, has long been marked by heartwarming gestures and tender moments. But for those looking to truly impress and create an unforgettable experience, the world of luxury always offers several opulent VDay options.
From enchanting dinner dates under the stars to soothing massages in serene settings, this Valentine’s Day offers the ideal backdrop for couples to show their love. It’s a day when grand gestures meet personal sentiments, creating memories that are both luxurious and heart-touchingly sincere. And for many, this magical day is seen as the perfect moment to propose.
In this blog, we’re going to share details on some of the most extravagant Valentine’s Day celebrations ever, many of which included a proposal. We’re talking about ice cream with a diamond ring on the side, 24K gold roses, and showstopping celebrity gifts and engagements. Read on, and let all this luxury inspire your own celebrations this year!
In 2023, New York City's Serendipity3 set a new standard in luxurious proposals with their "Diamond Frrrozen Hot Chocolate." This indulgence, priced at $250,000, offered more than just a sweet treat- it was an elaborate concoction served in a crystal-studded goblet, crowned with whipped cream, edible diamond glitter, and 23k gold gilded chocolate shavings.
The highlight? An 18k gold bypass pave ring with a 0.69 carat natural pink heart-shaped diamond and a 0.77 light blue natural pear-cut diamond. It arrived at the couple’s table in a chocolate globe, nestled on a bed of edible candy diamonds and pearls.
A breathtaking proposal at your favorite restaurant doesn't require a hefty price tag. You can craft an unforgettable moment with thoughtful touches and a stunning engagement ring like The Scarlett or The Michelle. Both of these spectacular pieces echo the indulgence of the Serendipity3 ring, especially with a pink diamond center stone.
As dessert is served, instead of a chocolate globe, you could have the waitstaff bring out a beautifully plated dish with The Scarlett elegantly presented, perhaps nestled in a bed of rose petals or surrounded by a delicate arrangement of her favorite sweets. This personal and heartfelt proposal captures the essence of luxury and romance, all at a fraction of the cost!
In 2023, London’s Blooming Haus responded to the demand for something grand and unique on Valentine’s Day with their 24K Gold Bouquet. At £40,000 (approximately $49,215), it comprised 200 long-stemmed heart roses, each meticulously hand-gilded in 24k gold. For those seeking a more affordable but still lavish option, a single gilded rose was available for £250 ($307).
If your significant other loves natural elements like flowers and trees, The Twig Climbers would be a meaningful choice. Each earring features two round diamonds, shining like morning dew on fresh twigs, while the unique twig design, which elegantly arches to follow the curve of the ear, ensures a comfortable fit for day-long wear. Present it to her during a long and romantic walk through your favorite park and watch her smile rival the diamonds in sheer brilliance.
If you're planning to propose outdoors, an engagement ring from The Twig line would be a perfect choice. The Twig is Keyzar’s nature-inspired flagship piece: inspired by the idea of growing new branches on your family tree, its twig-like band has subtle accent diamonds that enhance the ring's sparkle and draw attention to the center stone. It’s a promise of new beginnings and a life growing together, much like branches on a tree.
If your beloved is all about the sparkle, The Pave Twig has a dazzling pave setting that reflects the shimmering sunlight or the soft glow of the moon. The Halo Twig has a spectacular diamond halo that catches the ambient light beautifully while The Three Stone Twig, whose central stone is flanked by two pear-cut diamonds, resonates with the balance and beauty of nature.
Once she says yes, you can pair the ring with an exquisite wedding band from The Twig collection. The Twig has shimmering accent diamonds that amplify its overall sparkle while The Pave Twig has a crushed ice shimmer that captures the light. The Diamond Twig Cigar, which boasts a twig motif set with exquisite pave diamonds can double as a matching wedding band for both of you. Each band offers its own distinct charm, further enhancing the beauty of your engagement ring.
Celebrity gifts have often set the bar for luxury on Valentine’s Day. Jay-Z gave Beyoncé a platinum-covered cell phone worth $24,000 while Kanye West presented Kim Kardashian with a $73,000 Panthere De Cartier Cuff and 1,000 roses!
Celebrating Valentine's Day with opulence doesn't necessarily mean spending a fortune, however. It's about creating moments of romance and indulgence that are memorable and special. Here are some stunning gifts that uniquely embody luxury and love- if you’d like some additional ideas, you can find them in this blog.
On a serene Valentine's Day morning, surprise your loved one with a scenic hike to a picturesque viewpoint. As the sun rises, present The Heart Shared Prong Eternity, its heart-shaped lab diamonds glistening in the new light. This moment, surrounded by nature's beauty, becomes the perfect backdrop to symbolize your love, making the ring a timeless reminder of a Valentine's Day filled with natural splendor.
Imagine a cozy, candlelit dinner at home. The table is set with your finest dishes, soft music plays in the background, and the aroma of a home-cooked meal fills the air. After the meal, as you're enjoying dessert, present The Heart Eternity. This ring, with its heart-shaped lab diamonds, is a symbol of your endless love. The intimate and personal setting of your home makes this moment both luxurious and deeply meaningful.
For a glamorous evening, plan a night out at a cultural event like a ballet or a symphony orchestra. Dress up for the occasion, making the night feel extra special. As you're getting ready, surprise your partner with The Isabella. Its lustrous double halo of diamonds is perfect for an elegant night out, making your partner feel like the star of the evening. The combination of the sophisticated setting and the stunning necklace creates a luxurious experience without an extravagant price tag.
