Valentine's Day : a selection of gifts for her and him at AGUAdeORO
Did you know that the first Valentine's Day card was written in 1495 ? The Duke of Orleans, then imprisoned in London, is said to have written a letter to his wife to celebrate their love under the Saint of Lovers (National Geographic). But it wasn't until the early 20th century that this tradition became truly popular.
On February 14, Valentine's Day is the occasion to give a gift that shows affection and commitment to the loved one. But finding the perfect gift - symbolic, refined and timeless - can be a complex task. That's why at AGUAdeORO we've put together a precious and elegant selection to mark this occasion with distinction.
Gift ideas for her
1. The silk square scarf : a touch of refinement inspired by nature
The scarf marks the arrival of a new chapter in the Maison's collections. Imagined as an open window on the Amazon, the AGUAdeORO silk square is an ode to wild beauty. Made in Lyon, the capital of silk, it reveals a majestic jaguar evolving in a verdant setting, sublimated by intense colors. The design, handmade by one of our designers, is emblematic of the AGUAdeORO universe and identity.
Versatile, this scarf can be tied around the neck, used as a hair accessory or attached to a bag to add a touch of distinction to any outfit. A refined gift that stands the test of time with elegance.
2. Freshwater pearl earrings : timeless radiance
Evoking purity and elegance, pearls have always been the symbol of deep, sincere love.
At AGUAdeORO, our freshwater pearl stud earrings are enhanced by a Fairtrade 18-carat white gold setting. This combination of delicacy and responsible commitment guarantees exceptional, ethical and sustainable jewelry.
Associated with the goddess Venus, the embodiment of love and beauty, pearls have adorned the most emblematic figures over the centuries. To give a pair of pearl earrings is to choose a jewel steeped in history, a subtle sparkle that will accompany every moment with grace.

3. The Little Tears of Joy : a deep emotion
The Little Tears of Joy collection illustrates those precious moments that move us and mark us forever. Inspired by the power of the emotions that stir our lives - marriage proposals, births, reunions - this jewelry is much more than an accessory: it embodies the memory of these rare moments.
Its interchangeable design makes it a jewel as evolving as it is moving. Available in a range of stones including tourmaline, ruby and emerald, its pendant can be detached from its diamond-paved buckle and worn on a chain, offering unprecedented freedom of expression. A jewel that adapts to emotions and memories, over time and shared moments.

Gift idea for him : cufflinks, the detail that makes all the difference
An emblematic accessory in men's wardrobes, cufflinks signal the return of self-assured elegance. At AGUAdeORO, we've reinterpreted this classic piece with a contemporary twist, featuring bold stones such as ruby, jade and onyx.
Beyond their primary function, they become a personal signature, a way of asserting one's style by playing with hues and materials. Combined with a watch or other accessories, they create a subtle, sophisticated harmony. An ideal gift for the man who appreciates detail and uniqueness.

An exceptional gift, but also a responsible choice
At AGUAdeORO, we believe that true love is more than just how we feel about someone: it extends to our choices, our values and the impact we leave behind. That's why we're committed to working only with socially responsible and traceable materials.
The gift of jewelry is more than a romantic gesture : it's a commitment to ethical and responsible luxury. The mining industry is marked by major social and environmental issues. Precarious working conditions, the implications of armed conflict, relocation, soil pollution... These are just some of the challenges we have chosen to meet by selecting only Max Havelaar Fairtrade-certified gold and cultured stones.
Our vision of love is part of an approach we call More Than Love. Because love should have no boundaries, and the most beautiful gestures are those that advance the common good, we create jewelry that celebrates those who wear it, but also respects the people involved in its making.
For Valentine's Day, give a gift with values and meaning.
Founded in 2009, AGUAdeORO is a jewelry store based in Geneva and Zurich, offering customers the opportunity to purchase ethical jewelry made in Switzerland. We are committed to offering jewelry that combines sustainable development and elegance.
