This season we have put together a guide of 12 Christmas Gifts for the Holidays 2017, which was chosen by a roundup of emerging jewelry talents. We have broken it down for you into three sections: Stocking Stackers, a Gift for Layering and Make a Personalized Holiday Statement.
Stocking Stackers-
Traditionally men don’t like to purchase rings for the holidays unless they are married or about to pop the question, but these are the type of rings that won’t send your guys running for the nearest boring diamond studs (they don’t look at all like engagement rings or wedding bands). They’re also the type of rings that friends and family can purchase for you now and add onto for presents for special occasions.
1-Onirikka’s Briolette Bands In 18K Yellow And White Gold.
The subtle sparkle of briolette diamonds in mixed metal bands in stacks of two or three dance around the finger and create a playful yet elegant feeling. If you receive these as gifts, you can start out by wearing them together and then mixing and matching them up with some other favorites you love to stack. onirikka.com
