Seriously, I&#8217;m at about 90% self-gifters. But I still meet so many women who hesitate to splurge on themselves, even though they&#8217;re amazingly generous to everyone else in their lives. If you&#8217;re one of those shy ones, let me put your mind at ease: A holiday that originated as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/valentines-day\/history-of-valentines-day-2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ancient Roman orgy <\/a> before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2011\/02\/14\/133693152\/the-dark-origins-of-valentines-day\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a couple of Christian martyrs were added to the mix<\/a> is clearly the best possible excuse to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/treat-yo-self-day-parks-recreations-2149736\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">treat yoself<\/a>. And the rings I&#8217;m featuring in today&#8217;s video are appropriate for independent women, being inspired by (1) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2007\/10\/thursday-book-club-anne-of-cleves\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anne of Cleves, who was a damn genius of a divorc\u00e9e<\/a>, and (2) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/archaeology-and-history\/magazine\/2017\/01-02\/lucrezia-borgia-renaissance-italy-scandal-intrigue\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lucrezia Borgia<\/a>, a successful poisoner who also happened to be the daughter of a pope.  <\/p>\n<p>Of course, as Lil Kim said in &#8220;Lady Marmalade,&#8221; &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/Lil-kim-mya-christina-aguilera-and-p-nk-lady-marmalade-lyrics\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Why spend mine when I can spend yours?<\/a>&#8221; and if you do have someone to buy you a gift, go for it! Just remember that, in that case, you should use the &#8220;embracing-swans ring&#8221; and &#8220;diamond keepsake locket ring&#8221; descriptions. You don&#8217;t want to scare your lover to death before that Borgia poison ring gets on your finger!<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/wendy-brandes\/jewelry\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Shop on 1stdibs.com and get free Valentine&#8217;s shipping<\/a>.<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re happily coupled up and you&#8217;ve set your heart on some Wendy Brandes jewelry, this is the moment to drop a hint about a Valentine&#8217;s Day gift.
