Venus is our Valentine

Saint Valentine was a Roman who was killed for his faith on February 14, 269 A.D. In 496, his 'saint day' was established. He is associated with love because he fell in love with the daughter of his jailer, and would pass notes to her. His final note, before he was executed, read 'from your Valentine'

.

And so to this day. What does Valentine's Day mean in modern times? Well now it means showing the one you love how much you care for them with cards, presents or anything they like.  So at Purple Sorbet we have designed a few bracelets to represent the meaning of Valentine's Day but our favourite by far is Venus.

Venus is made up of Rose quartz nuggets (from Vegas no less!), Swarovski AB crystals, silver links, diamante spacer beads and 3 charms.  Rose quartz is known as love gemstone. Its pink colour signifies its meaning. It is all about ‘love’ in different forms like a love that is transcendental, love for the self, passionate love, love for the family, amorous love or universal love. Its high energy stimulate in intensifying love in relationships whether it is for a love between a mother and child, lovers and beloved or simply love for friends. So of course for Valentine's Day this stone is perfect! To compliment the pretty pink quartz we use Swarovski AB crystals. We use Swarovski over any other one as they are the prettiest clear crystals due to the  'AB' (Aurora Borealis) coating to create the sparkly rainbow appearance. The three charms which are used are a diamante heart charm, a pewter 'love' charm and a Tibetan silver cherub.

These bracelets are pretty and feminine and a perfect gift for Valentine's Day so head over to www.purplesorbetjewellery.com for £29.50. There's free postage and packaging until 14th February too. I wear my Venus all the time and i'll certainly be wearing it on the 14th!!

Bye for now! x
