SILENT OPUS | MODERN JEWELRY WITH SOUL – DESIGNED TO REINFORCE A DEEPER CONNECTION TO OURSELVES & THE WORLD AROUND US.

Featuring the Duo Ring in 14K Yellow Gold with alternating Oval and Emerald Diamonds, $2,360. I love that you can not only customize what type of stone you would like – white diamond, black diamond, ruby, emerald or sapphire – but you also are able to decide the cut of each of the stones – round, oval, emerald, princess and marquis, in addition to selecting from 14K yellow or white gold. This allows you to create your own work of art while creating a piece of jewelry that represents you and/or your family. You can create a quality heirloom to be passed down for generations; for instance, my ring was designed to be an heirloom for my daughter, Lila Grace. The alternating emerald and oval cut diamonds represent the two of us, intertwined, and the inside of the ring is engraved with ‘A+L’.

Also features the Essential Chain 20” in 14K Yellow Gold with the Initial Pendant adorned with a White Diamond ‘L’ in 14K Yellow Gold with the Signature Bail, $740. This item is at a friendlier price point, and just like the ring, can be customized. You can change the chain, length of the chain, letter, stones the letter is made of and the bail.

ISABEL MARANT

Featuring the Wasy Suede Camera Bag in Cognac, $590. This one is for the mom on your list…I have never met a camera bag that I don’t like, and this one is no exception. It is a luxe, well-crafted bag at a fair price. The roomy interior lends itself nicely for going from day to night. It is also a great option for the mom on the go. It has enough room for her essentials, as well as a few additional ones for the babe/kiddos if she doesn’t want to bring the diaper bag in the store for a quick errand. Speaking from real-life experience.

BROCHU WALKER | CONSCIOUS LUXURY – ROMANCE YOUR LIFE WITH LUXE, FEMININE PIECES YOU’LL LOVE FOREVER.

Featuring The Andre Luxe Cashmere Shacket in Light Chia Melange, $498. Thinking of getting a basic cashmere sweater for that special someone? Don’t. Get this cozy, cashmere shacket. It is perfect for lazy days, errand outings and elevated casual events and gatherings. It can be dressed up or down. I paired mine with a comfortable pair of blue denim, leather mules and a belt to cinch in my waist for an easy-to-wear, yet warm outfit.

GRAPHIC IMAGE INC. | NEW YORK MANUFACTURER OF LUXURY LEATHER GOODS. PARENT COMPANY OF GIGI NEW YORK.

Featuring the 2023 Desk Diary in Emerald Crocodile Embossed Leather, $138. I have been using these quality diaries for several years now. Each year I fall more and more in love with them. They are not only gorgeous to look at but their weekly and monthly layouts make it easy to add everything I need to, without the pages getting overwhelmed or info getting lost. You can also customize them with a monogram, making them a go-to gift. I started a new tradition with my 2022 diary. On the monthly overview, I fill in any new milestones Lila (my daughter) has reached, like sitting, trying new food, drinking water from a cup, etc. One day, when she is old enough to appreciate it, I will pass down to her all my diaries. She will see pages filled with my life moments, as well as her own.

Features worth noting: 2022 and 2024 Calendars – in addition to 2023, Holidays, Air and Road Distances, Common Phrases, Weather, Weights and Measures, 2023 Month-At-A-View, 2023 Week-At-A-View, 2024 Four Months-At-A-View, Restaurant Record, Area Codes, International Dialing Codes, Toll-Free Numbers, Online Resources, Telephone Directory, Birthdays and Anniversaries, Expense Summary, Notes, Record of Personal Data and Maps of the World.
