The Jewels We Really Want for The Holidays

These “It” items from independent designers are heirloom quality

by Marion Fasel

So, with all the jewelry gifts out there how do you choose? I narrow down my wish list with a few rules. I like pieces that can be worn a lot—items I can toss on as soon as I open them and wear happily ever after for the days and years to come. For me, a new jewel should be of the moment and have the feeling it will last forever. Stylish and eternal is a tricky balance to achieve, but lots of designers manage with flair. It’s like an X factor you know when you see it. See exactly what I mean with some of my favorites below presented in alphabetical order.
