A dramatic, high priced jewelry piece is wonderful for a special occasion, but there are many pieces that fall in an affordable price range and also offer serious longevity in their wear. Below is a list of some of our favorite picks.
Handmade Hoops Trends come and go, but hoop earrings remain a staple in every wardrobe. Handmade hoops that are unique but still classic can be worn with jeans to the store or with a dress to a party. Classic silver lends itself to ultimate versatility.
Dew Drop forged earrings by designer Keith Field. $145. Several earring styles available.
Classic Silver Bangles One of the best things about a bangle is that it can be worn with other bracelets, or as a stand alone statement. Paired with another piece, it adds drama and interest; alone, it feels delicate and special. No matter what the occasion, a bangle never looks out of place.
Handmade sterling bangles by designer Keith Field. $125+. See variations available in store.
Pearl Studs As soon as she has a pair of pearl studs in her jewelry box, she’ll realize just how often they feel like the exact right thing. As appropriate to wear on a kayak ride as they are to the theatre, pearls are the classic staple she may not know she was missing.
Akoya Salt Water Cultured Pearl stud earrings with gold posts. $139+.
A Unique, Personal Piece It goes without saying that you want to know your recipient’s tastes well if you go this route. Assuming you have a good understanding of what is important to her and what style she leans towards, picking a piece that encapsulates that can be the most thoughtful gift of all. For instance, a woman who values craftsmanship, art, and finery will cherish these unique tulip earrings.

Coastal Themed Sentimental value adds a tremendous amount of worth to a simple jewelry piece. If your recipient is a lover of the Maine coast, a piece that celebrates the ocean can be a keepsake for her for many years to come. Something as simple as this silver lobster claw on a chain can remind her of family, friends, and her love for the place she calls home.
