“Is it not better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all?”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Garlands of hearts, rows of blue forget-me-nots and a crowning glory of gold with blue hearts, Valentino was designed to celebrate Valentines day, and the joys and sorrows that go along with any celebration of the heart. Whether we are celebrating a new love, or a love lost, Valentines Day is the perfect day for either. Just as Valentino was meant to evoke both joy and sadness, as well as joy in the sadness.
