Love, Adorned: The Valentine Edit by Mikkel Brøgger
Love is rarely loud.
More often, it arrives quietly, in gestures chosen with care, in objects worn close to the body, in details that only the wearer truly knows.
The Valentine Edit by Mikkel Brøgger is a study in that quieter language of love. A curated selection of handmade jewelry designed to feel intimate rather than performative, personal rather than symbolic, enduring rather than seasonal.
This is jewelry for those who believe romance lives in nuance.
Jewelry as Gesture, Not Spectacle
Valentine’s Day has long been associated with grand declarations and fleeting excess. Mikkel Brøgger’s work moves in the opposite direction.
Here, love is expressed through material and proportion: the warmth of rose quartz, the depth of carnelian, the calm translucence of aquamarine, the quiet glow of pearls and moonstone. Each gemstone is chosen not for flash, but for feeling. Each piece is designed to sit naturally against the skin, becoming part of the wearer’s daily rhythm.
Necklaces drape softly rather than demand attention. Earrings feel personal, almost secretive. Rings are made to be lived in, not saved.
The Valentine Edit is not about marking a single day. It is about choosing something that lasts.
Handcrafted, One by One
Every piece in the collection is handmade, many of them one of a kind. Subtle variations in stone, setting, and finish are not imperfections, but signatures of the hand behind the work.
This approach reflects a belief central to Mikkel Brøgger’s practice: that jewelry should feel human. Thoughtful. Considered. Never rushed.
In a world of mass production and instant gratification, these pieces ask something different of us. To slow down. To look closely. To choose with intention.
Love in All Its Forms
While the Valentine Edit is rooted in romance, it is not limited to it.
These are pieces for partners and lovers, yes, but also for oneself. Jewelry given as an act of self-recognition. A marker of a moment. A reminder of care, patience, or resilience.
Love, after all, takes many shapes. The Valentine Edit honors them all.
A Natural Beginning to “Love Is in the Air”
This collection opens BON TON goods’ seasonal editorial theme, “Love Is in the Air,” a series exploring how affection, beauty, and intimacy show up in objects made to be lived with.
From here, the story will continue with a Trudon love story and a curated Valentine selection across the shop. But it felt right to begin with jewelry, the most intimate of objects, and with Mikkel Brøgger’s work, which so perfectly embodies love as something felt rather than announced.
The Valentine Edit is available now, online and in-store.
