OLIA HERCHEL JEWELRY | FINE JEWELRY | MODERN CLASSICS | DESIGNED & MADE IN NYC

Featuring the Classic Tennis Bracelet in 18K White Gold, $2,850. This stunning and timeless bracelet comes in F/G Color, SI1 Clarity, natural diamonds. The sparkle and quality are top-notch. This is a piece she will reach for every day and on special occasions alike. Frost yourself.

CLARE V. | LA-BASED HANDBAG LINE BY CLARE VIVIER

Featuring Petit Moyen in Evergreen Woven Zig-Zag in Evergreen, $385, and the Chain Shoulder Strap in Brass-Thick, $125. Discover the perfect blend of luxury and functionality in every stitch. I adore the green hue and woven leather stitching. It’s a luxe value at a very consumer-friendly price point. This bag comes with two leather straps of its own, the top-handle, a tubular shoulder strap and the crossbody strap. I love wearing it with both or one of these straps, but also thinks it’s so fun to make the bag your own and add one of their other many straps... I personally love the way the brass chain strap looks, as it elevates the bag, making it dressier for evening wear.

BROCHU WALKER | ROMANCE YOUR LIFE WITH LUXE, FEMINIE PIECES YOU’LL LOVE FOREVER

Featuring the Petite Fleur Pavé Diamond Mini Pendant Necklace in 18K Yellow Gold, $1,800. This evocative, and quite simply, gorgeous asymmetrical pendant is draped from a custom cable chain. The diamonds are handset in this uniquePavé Diamond design that uses varying diamond sizes. The way this pendant catches the light is mesmerizing. This necklace is dainty enough for everyday wear, and impactful enough for evenings…it’s a must for me. Get this for her.

LAGOS | BOLD FEMININITY & CLASSIC DESIGN 

Featuring the SIGNATURE CAVIAR 18K Gold Oval Link Bracelet, $2,300, layered with the CAVIAR LUX Double X Caviar Diamond Bracelet | 6mm, $1,000. LAGOS jewelry pushes the barrier on classic designs, with well-crafted, innovative pieces that will elevate any look you have on, casual or evening. I love how this bracelet is a breath of fresh air. The varying textures and sizes of the links in this LAGOS bracelet are not only intriguing, but interesting to look at. Add texture and art to your wrist.

UNSUBSCRIBED | CONSCIOUSLY-MADE, SLOW-FASHION

Featuring the Cashmere V Neck Pullover in Gray, $398. This sweater may seem like a dime a dozen, but it is created with 7-guage cashmere like you've never seen before…crafted from ultrafine, heirloom-quality, cashmere yarns, this sweater is designed to last. It's cut for a relaxed, drapey fit with a center back seam for the perfect slouch. Adorned with ribbing at the neck, sleeves and hem. This is a great addition to anyone’s wardrobe.

ARDEN ROSE | FINE JEWELRY DESIGNER | LOS ANGELES | NEW YORK  

Featuring the Mother of Pearl Pendant in 14K Yellow Gold, $2,580. This pendant is honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry I have ever seen. From the craftsmanship to the one-of-a-kind design… I give it a 10/10. It’s a showstopper. Layer or wear solo. Change up the chains. Stack with other charms and pendants. The ways in which to wear this beauty are infinite. I personally love wearing it on a dainty 18” chain that makes the pendant the main feature.
