Gift it. Wear it. These holiday favorites (both made by me and other fabulous Colorado makers) are the best of the best this holiday season. I mean, who doesn't need gift ideas this time of year.
My favorite holiday jewels
The holidays are a time when even the most casual gal just might feel like gettin’ fancy. I give you The Crowned Jewels line. A variety of gorgeous bezel set gems with three freshwater pearls atop to give it an extra festive feeling! They come in different lengths and pendant size but they all have that extra special feel that makes you feel like downright royalty.
The ‘Gem Dot’ Earrings are an absolute Go-To as both a gift and the answer to, “Aaah, what should I wear with this!?” The earrings have a background of either a
brushed Sterling or Vermeil (24K plated Sterling) disc and the gems run the gamut! The gem against the brushed metal really sparkles and the whole piece simply adds a little pop to your look! For, the holidays my favorite gems for these particular earrings are Ruby, Garnet and Emerald…naturally.
The 5 Circle Dangles are another recommendation I always have for those trying to find the perfect gift! In Goldfill and Sterling Silver, the earrings are 5 lightly hammered circles that catch the light and really create a little bit of dazzle. They are so light and comfortable and well, like the song says, “Five golden rings!” Or silver, of course.
