Gift Guide: Jewelry

When in doubt, give jewelry. Trust us, it is a no-fail gift. Sure, it’s easy to miss the mark in terms of style, but if you keep it simple, what gal wouldn’t love a funky new pair of earrings? What mom wouldn’t gush over a handpicked necklace? It makes a person feel very special that such thought and care was put into picking a piece out just for them. You don’t need to bust the holiday budget, either, although that little blue box from Tiffany will certainly set hearts aflutter. And there is a style of jewelry out there for every person roaming this Earth. Grungy? Sophisticated? Whimsical? We’ve got you covered. The best part about giving someone jewelry is -duh- they will wear it, and probably for a long, long time. So when they glance at their reflection or get dressed in the morning, they will be reminded of you and your generosity. (Not to mention your good taste.)

• Natural Wood Ring

  

  Maybe she isn’t into shiny metals and would prefer her jewelry be a bit more muted than most pieces out there. This rustic but sharp-looking wood ring fits the bill and keeps things stylish.

• Tiny Enameled Locket

  

  Teeny, tiny lockets pack a shiny, colorful pop. These little enameled necklaces by Trois Petits Points are cute enough on their own, or you could layer on a few brightly-hued lockets to pack more punch. The glossy enamel really stands out against the softness of the brass chain. Question is, whose mini photo will you keep around your neck?
