It seems like no sooner has the Christmas tree come down than it’s time for the next seasonal event. Cue the most romantic day of the year – Valentine’s Day – which in 2026 falls on a Saturday, which means there’s no excuse not to take your significant other for a night on the town. Even better than a romantic meal is a thoughtful gift from one of Bond Street’s many fine establishments. Here’s our definitive guide…
Graff Radiant Cut Yellow Diamond Solitaire Earrings
Diamonds are still the most popular choice for an engagement ring. But even if marriage isn’t on the cards this Valentine’s Day (or perhaps that ship has already sailed), remember that diamonds are forever – and not just for popping the question. How about this exquisite pair of drop earrings from British jeweller Graff, which feature two dazzling radiant-cut yellow diamonds. POA; graff.com
Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m

The Planet Ocean model has an attractive burnt orange bezel, black dial and polished-brushed stainless steel bracelet combination that makes for an instant classic. £8,000; omegawatches.com
