We all know Valentine's Day is mushy. But that's kind of the beauty of it. It's the one day of the year that you get to let all of your gushiest emotions out. In fact, you're actually supposed to do so. But often to accompany the heart's divulges, there's a materialistic aspect that goes with it (thank you, capitalism). Maybe you're totally good with a bouquet of roses, a box of chocolates, or a romantic candle-lit dinner. For those of you that aren't (okay, overachievers), you can't go wrong with a jewelry gift.

Whether you've been together for decades or months, getting her a piece of jewelry for Valentine's Day is a special token of affection that goes a long way. You can stay in the day's theme, with a heart-shaped pendant or charm. Or you can go with something classic, like a tennis bracelet (if you want to splurge) or diamond studs. Whichever way you go, she's going to love it.

So don't wait until February 14 to get your act together. These 36 jewelry gifts will make her Valentine's Day just a little bit more sparkly. Show that you've put some thought into the day, and get ahead of the game.
