I know it may seem like we only just took down the Christmas tree, ate the last few guilt-free chocolates and drained the remaining drops of sweet dessert wine but time waits for no-one and Valentines Day is fast approaching. Whether you love it or hate it the 14th of February is indisputably the time for love and showing love. It's the one day of the year when your relationship status is thrust into the spotlight and, like New Years Eve, you have to have some sort of a plan.
- Cook a delicious meal - every restaurant in a 10 mile radius will be booked up anyway so you may as well spend the evening preparing your favourite food in the comfort of your own home. Who wants to wait around in the rain for a taxi anyway?
- And while you are at it spend time with people you love - either a partner or best friend. No-one else will know you better and you are guaranteed a great day.
- Avoid 'those' social media couples - you know who I mean. Guaranteed to make you question every relationship you ever had, they embellish their pages with cutie couples selfies and soppy poems. Just remember for every perfect picture there were at least 10 before it that got deleted!
- Make it a day of positivity! Tell yourself you will only have uplifting thoughts and not obsess about negative aspects of life - it really is amazing how great you can feel if you put your mind to it!
- If all else fails a little bit of retail therapy will always hit the mark. There is so much pressure to buy the perfect gift for your Valentine but how do you ensure it's the right one? And why not just treat yourself? Mintique of Cambridge to the rescue! Rather than popping into the high street at 4.45pm on 13th February and panic buying why not let us take the stress away and choose a piece of handmade to order jewellery?
We have selected 3 pieces for our Valentines offer. Delicate, intricate and unusual. As a gift to yourself or a loved one they will make Valentines 2019 memorable. And with 20% off with code VALENTINE at checkout up until midnight 13th February how can you resist?!

Bang on trend our Threepence earrings are made from genuine circulated 50% silver coins and are teeny tiny (smaller than our current 5 pence coins). Choose to either have them plated in 24 carat gold or unplated. They are suspended from plated hooks and will compliment any outfit. -
Go for something a bit different with our Gold plated Sixpence enamel necklace. An original sixpence carefully enamelled, 24 carat old plated and suspended in a pendant with a filled gold chain. A definite talking point and a piece to bring out for special occasions. -
Our most popular ring is our British Sixpence sterling silver coin ring. Delicate enough for the daintiest of fingers but sturdy enough to wear every day it is a well known symbol of good luck. If you have a specific date in mind choose from 1888 right up until 1919, exactly 100 years ago. Sterling silver means that your skin won't discolour and it is super smooth to wear. We ensure a perfect fit by sending out a measuring device as soon as we receive your order. As far as unusual rings go this really hits the mark!
