Stumped on what to buy? Our friends at Chapel Hills Jewelry have you covered, regardless of your budget.
Stocking Stuffers ($50 and under)
Silicone rings ($20-$30)
These are a great option for that outdoorsy person in your life. Qalo silicone rings can be worn as stand-ins for a wedding or engagement ring while enjoying activities that are not ideal for fine jewelry. With tons of designs and colors, they can be stacked, and switched out to match an outfit, or support a team's colors. Silicone rings are a great option to wear to the gym, or to the beach, or anywhere else where there's a risk of an actual wedding band being lost or damaged. Celebrities, especially athletes like Lebron James, Steph Curry, and soccer phenom Carli Lloyd, have jumped on the Qalo bandwagon.
Bracelet Buddy ($12)
The perfect gadget for women who struggle with clasps. This tool holds the bracelet in place, freeing up your other hand to do the clasping.
Jewelry Cleaner ($8)
I never notice how dull my wedding ring has gotten until I take it to the jewelry store and they make it sparkle. This perfect stocking stuffer allows for that jewelry store shine on a regular basis.
$100- $200
Little and Layered
“Younger guys come in, and guys who are in a relatively new relationship, and they're worried nothing will be in their budget,” says Lauren Tesauro of Chapel Hills Jewelry. That is not the case. She recommends their line of little, femine pieces, handcrafted in the store, and perfect to be worn alone, or layered-- which makes them a great gift to build on for the next special occasion.
We love this cable chain with a princess cut diamond, paired with a baguette diamond, and another chain with a gold bar. gold bar ($150-200 each).
Speaking of layering, solid gold studs are perfect for multiple piercings in the same ear, and also small enough for a child, a gift they can enjoy for years to come.
$300-$500
Brother Wolf
Every piece has a story in this line of Pittsburgh-made jewelry. Brother Wolf mixes metals, creating two-tone pendants with deeper meanings. Brother Wolf is ideal for anyone-- male or female-- someone who needs a boost, is coping with hard times, or just needs a little inspiration. That's all of us, right?
For a particularly personalized piece, Brother Wolf can engrave an image from a photograph on the back of any of the pendants in the collection, enabling the recipient to keep the memory of someone specialy close to his or her heart.
Another great gift option is a Brother Wolf bracelet, like this Holy Spirit Cuff, which mixes sterling silver and 14 kt gold ($375). Here you see it paired with beaded bracelets made from Peruvian opal and Laboradorite, the latter of which is purported to be the best stone for connecting spirituality with reality.
$1,000 +
First, let us dispel a myth: diamonds are not special occasion stones. Diamonds can be worn every day, and not just on the ring finger. Let Chapel Hills Jewelry customize something truly original, either from a new new stone or by re-setting a family heirloom. In this case, the jewelers sketched and designed an 18-karat white gold 1920s art deco style ring around a marquis cut center stone.
Another option: a band with small diamonds to be stacked with the wedding and engagemnt ring, or to add a little bling to her right hand. Stacking bands to frame an engagement ring is a popular trend right now.. The new band can also be worn alone, or paired simply with the wedding band for a more casual look.
