Happy Valentine's Day


A Valentine necklace with a vintage rhinestone heart pendant, dark apatite and vermeil, and matching earrings.
The day is named after a Christian martyr Saint Valentine and was established in 496 AD by Pope Gelasius I.
It first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
                                              Happy Valentine Day to every one!
