Verve indulges in the most desirable buys of the season

	ROCKING JEWELS Women who have been always associated fascinating gems with size will love the new Rocks & Rose Valentine’s collection from the House of Rose. This luxurious line uses superlative rare diamonds, emeralds and other precious gems to portray eternal romance and timeless elegance. Size does matter!
	INSTANT CHIC Created by Louis Vuitton ‘Monogram Etoile’ is an evocative name given to the new line, which pays tribute to the Parisian place where Triumph Arch stands, at the end of the Champs Elysées Avenue. The Monogram Etoile family stands out thanks to its detailed quilting which brings softness and sensuality to the canvas. The suppleness of the canvas gives a sophisticated design to this new line while the golden brass pieces and twist-lock only enhances the look. Tradition meets sophistication and sensuality.
	FLIRTY FASHION This Valentine’s Day, Gucci gives you a reason to look your glamorous best with the CRUISE 2009 collection. The range of clothes, jewellery and accessories is sure to take your breath away. The collection depicts easy, feminine fashion and is reminiscent of the styles sported by the European jet-set at exotic seaside getaways in the ’70s. Pick from La Pelle Guccissima leather bags in pastel hues, sandals in bronze, Icon rings that are the last word in understated elegance or the Chiodo watch in 18-K white gold with full pavé in diamonds. Luxe love.
	ANGELIC OFFERINGS Rosenthal extends their collection of delightful small guardian angels with two more — Guardian Angel for Lovers and Guardian Angel for Patients. These charming chaperones are made of finest, unglazed porcelain and come with an ‘insurance certificate’ that contains a germane quotation — A droplet of love is more than an ocean of reason or Man is the best medicine man has. Makes a delightful gift for anyone. Truly thoughtful.
	TRULY FEMININE The latest creation from the La D de Dior collection from Dior is an illustration of Victoire de Castellane’s fine jewellery universe through a combination of very rare materials.

	LOVE BANDS This unisex, avant-garde bracelet from Cartier represents a genuine token of love with a unique flair. This bracelet is a flat bangle connected by a simple line where two half circles become symbols of love.
