12 Days of Stylish Gifting: Day 12 - Splurge Worthy

There's no better time than the holidays to splurge a little.  Below are some ideas that are sure to make the recipient go "wow."




Each piece in designer Jan Barboglio's line is hand-cut, fashioned and forged by artisans in Mexico.  These works are made to look naturally aged and every piece has intended flaws so that no two are the same.  Pictured from top to bottom: Horseshoe Frame, $92.00.  Petite Rose Box, $86.00.  Velera de Guadalupe Votive Holder, $130.00.




Julia Failey uses reclaimed metals to reduce environmental impact, and her concern for the preservation of natural resources is also reflected in her designs. Uniquely appealing with both style and substance, the Julia Failey collections are fashionably fresh and timeless.  Celebrity fans of Julia Failey include Cindy Crawford, Kate Bosworth, Vanessa Minnillo & Ashley Jones. In 2007, the Women’s Jewelry Association Midwest Chapter nominated Julia for the rising Star Award.  Pictured from Top, Lotus Blossom Pendant Necklace, available in gold, silver and rose gold, $130.00.  Fortuna Stud Earrings in Silver, $98.00.



Hyla DeWitt’s passion for jewelry design began at a young age. As a child, Hyla accompanied her mother to Peru to visit family and friends, but spent much of her time there having custom jewelry designed at the local jewelry stores out of gemstones she collected during her travels.  Hyla continues to be inspired to create unique fashionable, and chic jewelry that can be worn everywhere from the grocery store to a wedding.  Pictured from top: Dahlia Necklace, gold plate chain with vermeil links, blue chalcedony and turquoise gemstones, $220.00.  Betty Necklace, antique gold and gold plated chain, emerald rhinestones with green chalcedony gemstones, $275.00.
