Wish List

"I hate couples who remind me that I'm alone! I hate couples. I simply hate them!", sang Anaïs at the top of her voice in 2005. If there is a time of the year when the "love-dripping" sappiness (another excerpt from Mon Coeur Mon Amour by Anaïs) can be annoying, for the single and the cynical, it is February 14. Valentine's Day, a celebration that is often pointed at as commercial, is right around the corner. And don't assume it's completely out of fashion. Indeed, nearly three quarters of those under 35 are planning on celebrating Valentine's Day with their significant other this year (study conducted by Emova Group, leader in flower distribution in France – Monceau Fleurs, Au nom de la rose, Happy and Coeur de Fleurs). Even though 34% of them are planning on getting a lovely bouquet as a gift, jewelry remains a safe bet to declare one's love.

And if that means playing the romantic card – granted, a little cheesy – why not go all the way? Made desirable by Lily Collins, aka Emily Cooper, in the last episode of season 2 of Emily in Paris, who wears it in an extra-large version over a deep neckline, the heart motif never ceases to inspire jewelers and prestigious brands.

Whether it is a rock reinterpretation at Messika, or playful as always at Chopard thanks to their dancing Happy Diamonds, minimalist at Monsieur Paris, delicate at Gigi Clozeau, intertwined at Dinh Van... The designer Isabelle Langlois, granddaughter and daughter of lapidaries has embraced this great jewelry classic since her debut in 1992. Three decades later, the motif is making a comeback in her collection, available in different sizes. You get it – anyone can find something regardless of their style or their budget. Lovely, figurative, cheesy, passionate, refined, naive... The heart can seduce anyone aged from 7 to 77 years old. Isn't it actually one of the most popular emoticons?

We've prepared a beautiful selection for you, among which you will definitely find the perfect "heart" to proclaim your love to your better half…

A little heart close to your heart, around your wrist or on your hand? Discreet or eccentric? An intimate statement or one for everyone to see? You now hold all the cards you need to choose the jewelry piece that will satisfy your better half. How you will express your love is entirely up to you!
