Holiday Gift Guide: One-of-a-Kind Jewelry for People Who Have Everything

Every December somebody tells me the same thing: “I have no idea what to get her. She has everything.”

She doesn’t have this. Nobody does. Every piece in my shop is built around one stone, by hand, one time. When it’s gone, it’s gone. That’s the whole point.

So here’s my holiday gift guide for the impossible people on your list.

First, a quick way to pick

Before you buy anything, look at what they already wear.

• Do they wear the same necklace every day? Get a pendant. It’s the safest jewelry gift there is.
• Do they wear color? Go bright. If their closet is all black and gray, the stone can be the color for them.
• Do they wear earrings daily? Earrings are a great gift because there’s no sizing.
• Rings? Only if you know their size. If you don’t, read my guide on how to find a ring size at home. It includes a sneaky method for gifts.

For the one who loves color

The Amethyst, Fire Opal and London Blue Topaz Pendant is purple, orange and blue in one piece. It shouldn’t work. It does. This is the pendant for the person who wears a red coat in February on purpose.

For the one who wears the same necklace every day

The Ammolite Triangle Pendant. Ammolite is a fossil from one small region of Canada, and it flashes red, green and gold when it moves. It’s small enough to wear daily and strange enough that people will ask about it.

For the minimalist you secretly want to convert

The Amethyst and Aquamarine Bangle Bracelet. Mostly clean sterling silver, with just enough stone to make a point. It’s a gateway piece. You’ve been warned.

For the earring person

• Amethyst and Rainbow Druzy Drop Earrings: sparkle without a single faceted stone.
• Amber and Aquamarine Drop Earrings: warm and cool at the same time, like a sunset over water.

For the person who is truly impossible

Give them a choice. My custom earrings come in Simple, Double and Mix & Match styles. They take about 7 business days to make, so if you want them for the holidays, message me early. Don’t wait for December 20th. I love you, but I also have a day job.

For you

Yes, you. You’re reading a gift guide, which means you’re the one doing all the holiday shopping. Buy yourself the ring. An ammolite ring looks a lot better on your hand than another candle looks in your cabinet.

Good to know before you order

• Every piece is one of a kind. If you love it, don’t wait.
• Pendants come with an 18-inch, 2 mm sterling silver chain. Other lengths are available if you message me.
• Shipping is free on orders over $200.
• Every piece arrives ready to give as a gift.

People forget most of what they unwrap by February. A stone that only existed once tends to stick around.

Who’s the hardest person on your list? Tell me, and I’ll tell you what I’d give them.
