Valentine’s Day is upon us, and the world is slowly turning pink and red. But love is never standard, and your gift doesn’t have to be either. Why settle for a predictable box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers when you can choose something truly meaningful?
At Donna Dorée, we understand that Valentine's Day is more than a commercial celebration. It's a time to reflect on what makes someone unique, to express love and appreciation in a personal way. Because let's face it: your loved one deserves a gift that is just as special as they are.
The History of Valentine's Day
Valentine’s Day has a rich and mysterious history that dates back to ancient Rome. One of the most famous legends tells of a priest named Valentinus, who in the 3rd century AD secretly blessed newlyweds, against the wishes of Emperor Claudius II. His act of love and rebellion eventually led to his martyrdom on February 14, a date that was later dedicated to celebrating love and devotion.
In the Middle Ages, Valentine's Day became a holiday of romance, thanks in part to poets such as Geoffrey Chaucer, who linked the day to the period in which birds choose their mates. Later, Valentine's Day was also seen as an alternative to the Roman fertility festival Lupercalia, which was replaced by the church.
Throughout history, Valentine’s Day has become a day to celebrate love in all its forms – from secret weddings to love letters and exclusive gifts. This special day evolved into a day where lovers exchange poems, letters and gifts.
Today, Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love in all its forms. It is not only an opportunity to spoil your partner, but also to treat yourself to something that makes you happy – a luxurious piece of jewelry that reminds you daily of your love (for yourself) and your strength and beauty.
The modern Donna
The modern woman embraced by Donna Dorée lives with passion and emphasizes her elegance through personal style. She is not afraid to wear statement pieces that underline her unique personality. Our jewelry is made for women who strive for a life full of beauty, refinement and meaning.
As a modern 'quaintrelle', our customer places emphasis on quality and exclusivity. She is not looking for trends, but timeless pieces that are as unique as she is. A brooch that perfectly matches an elegant blazer or a pair of pearl earrings that elevate a minimalist outfit - that is what appeals to her.
Quaintrelle; a woman who emphasizes a life of passion expressed through personal style, leisurely pastimes, charm, and cultivation of life's pleasures.

Valentine's Day calls for a gift that goes beyond a standard heart piece of jewelry... (Also beautiful, non-tasks! But maybe you want something different!) The unique piece of jewelry that you give as a gift should tell a story, mean something.

What makes Valentine’s Day so special is the focus on details. Just like your love for each other, it’s the little things that make the difference. A well-chosen gift shows that you’ve paid attention to what makes the other person happy. It’s not about the price, it’s about the thought and symbolism behind the gesture.
At Donna Dorée, we believe that jewellery is more than just an accessory – it’s a reflection of personal stories, emotions and memories. That’s why we design each piece with refinement and meaning in mind, so that the gift is as special as the woman who receives it.
