Spanish jeweller Rabat has launched a collection for Valentine’s Day in collaboration with designer Gara Arias, reinterpreting the heart symbol in a contemporary style.
The collection
The pieces are made in 18-carat gold with pavé-set white diamonds, combining a classic romantic symbol with modern volumes and lines. Recurring features include:
- hearts, presented as pendants and links;
- wave motifs, giving the pieces an organic, fluid look;
- chunky rose gold volumes.
Highlights include earrings with heart links and pavé diamonds, a chain necklace with a central pavé heart, and wave-shaped bracelets.
The idea
According to the designer, the heart represents not only romantic love but all meaningful human relationships — partners, family and friends. The collection is intended as a gift for any of those connections.
The brand
Rabat is a Spanish jewellery and watch retailer with a long history and a network of stores in major Spanish cities, known for its bridal and diamond jewellery.
Valentine’s Day and jewellery
Valentine’s Day is one of the key dates of the year for jewellers, alongside Christmas and Mother’s Day. Jewellery has become one of the most popular gifts, alongside flowers and dinners, and brands launch special collections to capture this demand.
Tips for buying jewellery
- Set a budget before shopping.
- Check the quality marks for gold and silver, and ask for certification for diamonds.
- Consider the recipient’s style — everyday pieces are often worn more than statement jewellery.
- Ask about guarantees, returns and resizing, especially for rings.
- Ask about responsible sourcing of gold and diamonds, an issue that matters increasingly to consumers.
Whether it’s a designer collection or a small piece from a local jeweller, the most valued gifts are usually those chosen with the person in mind.
