Fine jewelry, warmed against the skin, creates a personal experience, unlike any other gift. Precious stones, chosen for their brilliance, help us reflect on the year past and honor perhaps the most unique holiday season we've ever experienced. This is a year to choose pieces that celebrate the beauty that we've discovered in the everyday moments and demonstrate the feelings of warmth and comfort we've found with ourselves and each other. Local fine jewelers Element 79, Walters & Hogsett, and Todd Reed feature modern treasures meant to be worn and loved throughout the upcoming year. Without the hustle and bustle of the typical holiday season, take the opportunity to find the perfect piece of jewelry that speaks to you, that reminds you that everyday luxuries are yours to enjoy and share with those you love. Treat yourself and those around you with jewelry that is timeless.

Walters & Hogsett:

Walters & Hogsett are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, clearly cementing their status as an iconic Boulder institution. Family comes to mind when thinking about Walters & Hogsett. They are a small family-owned business that has created memories and special moments for Boulder families for generations. With an eye for detail and craftsmanship, they choose designers whose quality and passion aligns with their vision. This year, they are inspired by yellow gold for its versatility and wearability. Mixing in black diamonds gives an entirely new look of elegance combined with an edge. Add in classic white diamonds for extra sparkle or mix it with color. Whatever your style, they have something for you. This holiday season, as every other, Walters & Hogsett have you covered. The talented team has assembled a stunning collection of pieces that speak to every stage of life and everyone on your list. With service as their hallmark, their guests have an even broader selection of ways to shop this year.

Todd Reed:

To wear a piece of Todd Reed jewelry is to know that you are wearing something that is truly wearable art. An artist that uses jewelry as his medium, his style is known for creating a signature tension between old and new by selecting raw and natural colored diamonds set within recycled metals. Every piece is made by hand with a unique process using only the finest materials and ethically sourced, conflict-free stones. In addition, Todd Reed and his team have created a process that is as unique as his designs. In collaboration with his master jewelers, the concept of the signature “Forged As One” means that each piece has a system of monograms (hallmarks) created for each master jeweler. Truly an artist and artisans in collaboration, each style has a unique essence that makes every design one of a kind. Todd Reed and his team recently moved his iconic showroom and studio to a new space just down the street to 1911 Pearl St., right in time for the holidays. In this new space, you know that you will have the opportunity for a luxurious and personalized experience. One of the unique delights in stopping by Todd Reed is that you have the chance to see the process come to life through the shared studio and showroom space. Getting a glimpse into the workings of a vibrant, active studio is an experience in harmony with the ethos of Todd Reed as an artisan jeweler.

Element 79:

Carol Ferguson established Element 79 Contemporary Jewelry in Cherry Creek after 20 years as an established bench jewelry specialist and custom jewelry designer. After noticing that Denver lacked a space that highlighted jewelry designers creating the most current and elegant designs with the highest craftsmanship, she opened up Element 79 to bring her inspiration to the community. Known for "jewelry with soul," Element 79 is a fun, relaxed environment that invites the guest to spend time getting to know each designer they carry without pretension—including Carol's customizable E79 Private Label. Carol and her team have curated the best jewelry selection, and they work to ensure that each piece speaks to the wearer. In an era where transparency is key, Element 79 is committed to environmental responsibility, representing designers who use only ethically sourced stones and metals. This year, as we aim to support our local businesses even more, Element 79 makes your shopping experience as uncomplicated as possible. The team has created a custom gift guide on their site with specific ideas on what to gift those special people in your life. Since plans are uncertain this year, they are excited to help their guests "ring" in the New Year with their exceptional collection of rings, including their new bridal salon that serves as a shop within their shop. This year has certainly had its challenges, and if you have grown closer to that special person in your life, Element 79 has the perfect piece of fine jewelry to mark the occasion.
