The LeVian Ring She Might Buy for Herself -- But Would Prefer to Get from You

This Valentine's Day, many women are going to buy themselves rings. Why? Well, why not? Today, it is not unusual for a woman to earn more money than the man she loves. Contemporary independent women deserve fine things, but who will lavish them with gifts? They are hard working and self sufficient, and the men in their lives are there for love and laughter, a shoulder to cry on and a word of support, but they are not the source of their financial stability. Should such women do without fine jewelry just because the men in their lives cannot afford it? No, of course not.

So what are these independent women buying for themselves this Valentine's Day? Let's take a look...

The first item on many a woman's list of coveted jewels is a chocolate diamond ring. And not just any chocolate diamond ring, mind you! It is a ring shaped like a belt buckle, cinched tight upon their fingers. How do I know that women are longing for this ring? Well, take a look at what they are saying:

"I-heart-jewelry", of San Diego, California, a young woman in her mid-twenties whose style is "Updated Classic" writes:

"I want this ring so bad!

December 2, 2010

"I saw this ring in person and fell in love with it. I can't afford it at the moment, but I went home and researched it right away just to see it again. Hopefully I'll be able to afford it soon..."

If she didn't get it for Christmas, you can be sure that I-heart-jewelry will have her eye on this piece for Valentine's Day!

"B.M.Shooper", a cultured and well established sixty year old from Ohio, writes:

"Love the Chocolate and white diamonds... The best ring I own
All my friends and children love the looks of this ring."

A married Macy's Credit Card holder in her mid-twenties had this to say:

Love it!

"Very beautiful ring, way better in person, than on a picture. We got a lot better deal in a store though."

"Heart-of-Dixie" a southern gentlewoman in her sixties with impeccable taste had this to say:

LeVian Choc & White Diamond Ring

March 24, 2010
"I was NOT able to see this ring at a Macy's store so took a chance and ordered it online.....it came today - it is exactly as pictured here and Oh so pretty. I am very very happy with this purchase."

All of these glowing reports come from the Macy's website. They are written documentation for the true ardor that women of all ages and backgrounds have for the Le Vian Chocolate Diamond and Gold Buckle ring.

If they can afford to, these women and others like them will buy it for themselves. They deserve it, they can afford it and they will have it. But I'll tell you a little secret: no matter how self-sufficient a woman is, it's always nice to receive a gift from somebody else. So if the woman in your life is longing for this ring, but hasn't yet gotten up the courage to buy it, you can make her so happy by anticipating her desires and granting her heartfelt wish!

It's not about money. It's not about independence. It's about love!

This gorgeous citrine ring is the envy of many a woman. They buy it for themselves, they buy it for each other, but they would really like to receive it as a token of affection from a very special man!

"Love-to-Shop-At-Macy's, a woman in her fifties from Venice, Florida, shares this with us:

Le Vian Ring, 14k gold Citrine

"I bought this gorgeous ring for myself! It is absolutely stunning and I've had many, many compliments on it! It is my favorite piece of jewelry!!!!"

"I bought this for my daughter and it is gorgeous! She continues to get many compliments on it."

Is it all right for a mother to buy her daughter a beautiful ring? Absolutely. But how much more surprising would it be for the young woman to receive this as a Valentine's gift from the man of her dreams?

Not every woman is hoping to receive a chocolate diamond or citrine ring from Le Vian. Some are longing for a timepiece that is studded with sparkling jewels. Understated, but elegant, these fine watches from Le Vian will delight her on Valentine's Day!

Notice the fine workmanship on the face of this watch, and how the jewels frame it so beautifully!

This same fine luxury watch also comes in rose Gold. The darker version goes well with a chocolate diamond ring!

We can't always find what we want on Amazon or at Macy's. Le Vian discontinues many of its most popular entries in its jewelry collection periodically. If what you are looking for is no longer available new, consider a fine vintage piece available on eBay. The prices can be more reasonable, and there is always the possibility of bidding for what you want.

In this distressed economy, many people are having to trim down their jewelry collections, and this is a very good time to buy!

Le Vian is a fine name in jewelry, a Persian dynasty imported to America. But sometimes it's also good to explore other possibilities in gemstones and jewelry. This giant citrine ring is gorgeous! It may be worth gambling on, for you never know when a new name may be on the rise.

Whatever you do this Valentine's Day, just remember this: gifts are not about what people need. It's about what they want! Today's woman doesn't need anything from her man but love. And yet, what better way is there to express your love than by giving her something she does not need at all -- but which her heart desires!
