Artisan Jewelry makes a Great Gift

Artisan jewelry comes in such variety of style and price, that you are sure to find the perfect piece for the jewelry lovers on your list this holiday season.

Earrings are popular because, well, a girl can never have too many earrings.  And secondly, you don't have to worry about the right size, like you do with a ring.  Here are some great choices:

Small sterling circles, dichroic glass beauties, and black and gold teardrops

 On the left, for $22, we have simple hammered sterling circles by Seattle jeweler Emily Hickman.  In the middle are the magical dichroic glass earrings of Everett's Gale Franko.  Many choices available, and only $29 each.  On the right are the popular black and gold earrings by Manya Vee for $38.

Perhaps the taste of your gift recipient runs a bit on the flamboyant side.  We'll we've got you covered as well, with some unusual pieces by Minnesota's Teresa Goodall.  Goodall incorporates vintage resin beads on ribbon and cord for a delightful effect.

 Of course, that's for the woman who likes to wear larger jewelry and have a little fun with it.  A slightly more subdued version of that might be this next option.

 This is two separate necklaces that look great together.  Both are made by Seattle's Emily Hickman from her Tin Moon Jewelryworks line.  The most beautiful part of vintage tins are cut out and turned into fabulous jewelry.  Each charm on the necklace is reversible!  This looks great on any solid color you can imagine.  

Turning another page, perhaps your gift recipient is elegant and refined.  What to do then?  In that case, we choose from our extensive collection of hand-faceted gems by Bill Booze, or the timeless line of New York's Ed Levin.
