Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Valentine's Day makes us all think of flowers, candy and jewelry. But flowers fade and candy is enjoyed and quickly forgotten.

Lucky for us, New York jewelry designer June Rosen Lopez is hosting her 6th Annual Valentine's Day party, featuring original custom made jewelry pieces, on February 9 & 10 at her home gallery in Puerto Vallarta's Romantic Zone.

Everyone is invited to stop by between 1 and 7 pm to see her new jewelry collection and maybe find a Valentine's Day gift or two. While you are there, you can see old friends or make some new ones, enjoy some wine and snacks, and just kick back and relax.

Valentine's Day is no longer a holiday exclusively for couples. In fact, here in Mexico, February 14 is known as "El Día del Amor y Amistad" which, literally translated means "the day of love and friendship," and it celebrates all relationships, including family, friends and lovers.

For you men out there, June can help you find something extra special for your loved one, so you won't be in the dog house on Valentine's Day.

And, since February 14 is all about love, why not show yourself a little? June's jewelry party is the perfect place to find some sparkly pieces that'll make you look spectacular not just on Valentine's Day, but all year-round!

June's collections have gone through many changes since she first started making jewelry in 1973, but one thing remains a constant - she believes in classic jewelry that is affordable, wearable, and never goes out of style.

Even if you already have Valentine's Day covered, she hopes you will come out on February 9 and 10th anytime between 1:00 and 7:00 pm to see her work, relax, visit with old friends, make some new ones, have a few laughs, and enjoy some Valentine's treats.

Open Monday to Friday from 12 to 6 pm, Galería June Rosen Lopez is located on the corner of Pino Suarez and Francisca Rodriguez, (the same street as Archie's Wok and the Los Muertos pier) just one block up from Olas Altas on the South side of Puerto Vallarta.
