Instead of opting for the cliche “key to your heart” type of pendant, Tiffany is offering the lock itself as a beautiful pendant for Valentine’s Day. This Hearts Lock Pendant is made of 18K white gold (also available in 18K yellow gold) and features a heart-shaped set of round brilliant-cut diamonds embedded in the front of the lock. The total weight of the diamonds is .12-carats. The lock is suspended from a 16-in. long white gold chain. Price: $1,500.

This new Britt Medium Hobo from Gucci is part of the designer’s most recent collection, a fairly casual bag that is good for everyday use. The bag is made primarily of fabric bearing the beige/ebony Gucci logo pattern, but is trimmed in white leather. There is a gold-tone GG detail on the bottom front of the bag, where a bit of the trim has been raised to highlight it. The bag has a zip top, a flat shoulder strap and measures 12.5″H x 14″L x 1.75″W. Price $550.

The Large Drawstring Tote from Cole Haan is a great choice for a weekend bag, as it is more than large enough to hold a change of clothes for a quick overnight, though it will certainly work well as a casual day bag, as well.

It has a drawstring at the top, as well as a small snap closure, and a fabric lining. Price: $425.
