Whether you love it or you hate it, Valentine’s day is here to stay. We just LOVE love, and we are here to help you fully embrace the Valentine’s day spirit. Here at Tegen Jewellery, we always stray away from the traditional path, nurturing unique ideas and creating pieces taken from life experiences, travel, the ocean and everything cosmic. While we love all the traditional Valentine’s gifts, flowers, chocolates and date nights, jewellery is by far the best gift in our (slightly biased) opinion. We have a treasure trove of glittering gems that Ariel would be proud of, plenty of which are perfect for a Valentine’s present that your loved one will treasure forever.

Stone Individuality
Stone Individuality
For many people, across many cultures, for centuries now, different stones have had different meanings and have been worn for different reason. Stones can mean different things for different people, whether it’s an attachment to a person, a time or a place, an acknowledgement of heritage or a link to a property that the stone may hold. While some of us love to know and attach a meaning to our stones of choice, others simply love the stones themselves – just as valid a reason to be wearing your very own treasure. We have some favourite stones here at Tegen Jewellery and we’d like to tell you why we adore them so!
