Bring the Bling with 7 Charming Sisters
This is a fabulously fun collection from women who obviously know how to live. Sparkly crystals abound like the Crown Jewels. Perfect for when you need to leave the "real thing" at home which is what I wished I had done after going to an Ice Theatre performance in Chelsea a few years ago. Somewhere between the coffee shop and the curtain going up I lost a valuable pendant which clipped onto my set of pearls. Now the workmanship is not the same as more expensive jewelry pieces, but here are some fun sets for the evening from 7 Charming Sisters:

Take the World By Storm Necklace, Bracelet, Earrings and Ring Set have Cartier styling.

Take Your Act On The Antique Road Show Vintage Style Crystal Collar (signed) & matching stud earrings.

Antique Attraction Crystal Necklace with Vintage Settings (signed), Matching Earrings

Thinking Outside of The Box - Breakfast in Bed
Now you can still hide a piece of jewelry on the breakfast tray for that extra surprise factor! Even without that, breakfast in bed for Valentine's Day is one of the sweetest treats to give or receive. I simply added a little cottage cheese, lemon zest and vanilla extract to my usual pancake batter. I serve them hot with lots of KerryGold Irish Butter and pure Canadian maple syrup. Simple but extravagant at the same time.
