Holiday Gift Guide: Jewelry
I’m one of those people who is allergic to metal, particularly costume jewelry, so when I get the precious stuff for myself or as a gift, it automatically becomes something I treasure. I cherish my jewelry and I find it to be an incredibly intimate gift to give and receive. Here are some of our local artisans and stores offering us some exquisite ideas for this holiday season.
