Valentine's Gifts Ideas at Grays

Love it or hate it, the annual love-a-palooza is upon us. With Cupid’s arrow set to fire on Valentine’s Day, we have no time to waste.

Cupid's arrow is one of the most widely recognised symbols of love. We all know what happens when Cupid, aka Eros, strikes with his golden bolts. A person falls instantly in love, which isn't always a bed of roses, as we all know. If you have never been in love though -- watch out! Cupid may be stringing his bow and taking aim at you this very minute!

If you are planning to pop the question on this most romantic day of the year, Grays offers a fantastic opportunity to find that unique engagement ring. Our dealers stock the finest selection of antique and vintage engagement rings from the early Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco eras through to the late 1980s and modern times. Although diamonds are a girl’s best friend, coloured gemstones such as ruby, sapphire and emerald have become hugely popular in recent years. With Kate Middleton setting the trend with her beautiful sapphire engagement ring we encourage you to experiment with different styles and periods to mark that special occasion.
