TIME TO DECORATE SOMEBODY!
As long as we’re in a holiday decorations kind of mood, we might as well decorate ourselves and each other. What better way to do it than with a few beautiful baubles?
We went “window shopping” at 1stdibs to see what cool jewels we could find… and we found some beauties. We looked for the more unusual statement pieces -- ones that would elevate whatever body parts they adorned to elicit a wow at every gaze.
We found some treasures designed by Alexandra Mor, Andrew Grima, and Naomi Sarna. We found spectacular diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and exotic stones, in gorgeous settings, all ready to decorate some lucky fingers and earlobes.
It’s a tough job scrolling through hundreds of jewelry pieces to find the ones that grabbed our hearts. We curated for beauty and this is what we found. If you hurry, you can get them in time to decorate someone you love, or yourself, for the holidays.
So if you need some last minute gifts and some holiday decorating joy, get your inspiration below.
