beyond flowers :: artisan gift ideas for valentine’s day and every day

Valentine’s Day is next week already! If you haven’t yet, it’s time to find the perfect gift–for yourself (or your mom, nanny, etc.) It’s cold, dreary (at least here in Michigan) and the perfect time for a pick-me-up! I find that one or two unique and high-quality pieces can easily be the focal point of a room, a meal or an outfit. How cute are the bags below? I love the extra fringe detail–totally sets it apart!

Uno Alla Volta means One at a Time. And that describes how each piece is created. All items are hand-crafted and sent in gift packaging with a certificate of authenticity. Each skilled artisan crafts their pieces specifically for Uno Alla Volta–so you can’t find them anywhere else. They specialize in jewelry, collectibles, accessories and art in all its forms. I’m showcasing some of their options perfect for Valentine’s Day like this adorable way to say “I love you” every day.

I tried out this Giulio and Lorena’s Venetian Glass Heart of Silver Necklace. What I noticed right away is the pendant is hung on a gorgeous necklace of hand-strung beads. No cheap silver chains here! I love that the piece is feminine without being too delicate. The heart itself is made from molten glass that is then covered in silver foil and glass chips. It can be worn with any color and can dress up a more casual shirt (how I wear it) or add sparkle to an already more formal outfit.

Check out all of the great one of a kind gifts!
