Our Top 10 Gifts to Bring Christmas Joy

December 15, 2019

Christmas is almost here! Still have some shopping left to do? Check out this year’s Christmas Top 10 and let us help you bring put some sparkle under the Christmas tree!

1. Sparkle and Shine!

Nothing brings the sparkle quite like Sorrelli Jewelry. With unique styles in both classic and on-trend colors, these pieces are cult favorites for a reason.

The fact that they are designed locally in Kutztown, PA and offer a lifetime warranty on their pieces is even more reason to love them!

We adore their statement necklaces to add some flash to your favorite little black dress for a holiday party or add some excitement to your white button down shirt for a day at the office.

Perfect Harmony Necklace in Army Girl Color Collection ($170)

Twinkling Thistle ($120) and Precious Petals ($185) necklaces in Pink Peony

Clover Classic Line Bracelet in Sandstone ($130) and Delaney Classic Bracelet in Natural Elements ($175)

2. Bold and Modern

For those that prefer sleek metal styles to sparkling stones, this pick is for you! We have been loving the look of minimalist modern styles with cutting edge textures and mixed metals.

Janis Savitt Triple Cobra Bracelets in Mixed Metals ($125) and Double Cobra Bracelet in Gold and Gunmetal ($75)

Our new Janis Savitt cobra bracelets hit all the right notes (there is a reason they are one of Oprah’s favorite things!).

With their shiny metal finish, entwined styles, and use of different metals they make a bold statement for the modern lady!

Pandora’s new Reflexions line is another great choice for a more modern look. The mesh bracelet is stylish, comfortable, and versatile. We like particularly like its clean lines and fixed charms.

We also love the new Pandora Beads and Pavé bracelet for a clean silver look with a touch of sparkle. Even better- it has a matching necklace!

Pandora Reflexions bracelet (middle- bracelet $65, charm $65). Beads and Pavé bracelet, right, $75, Tiara Wishbone Open Bangle, left, $90.

Pandora Reflexions Mesh and Multistrand Bracelets with Charms

3. Vintage Styles

Does your jewelry style look more to the past than to modern trends? Then these vintage styles are right up your alley!

Our Talisman collection necklaces use antique book pages as part of their design. Each Talisman has a meaning connected to the image used. Similarly, our Pyrrha necklaces are designed using castings made from antique seals. The symbolism of these pieces make them not only beautiful, but personal as well.

Talisman Oriole, Swan, and Queen Bee necklaces ($75 each)

Pyrrha Butterfly ($165), Compass Direction ($174), and New Beginnings ($154) Necklaces

Our ever-expanding Estate collection is also a great way to find a vintage piece at an amazing price. We have fantastic finds from sterling silver and semi-precious stones to gold and diamond heirloom styles. We even have some David Yurman and John Hardy pieces!

Estate 14k Star of Bethlehem Heart Locket ($175)

David Yurman Prasiolite Necklace ($299) John Hardy Frangipani Bracelet ($450)

4. Reach for the Stars

Celestial styles are all the rage. Celebrating a connection with the greater world around us and mimicking the sparkle of stars in the sky, these pieces are particularly fitting to celebrate the Christmas season and the coming of the new year.

We love WinterLemon’s celestial collection. Ranging from bold statement pieces to everyday treasures, they each evoke something special and beautiful. We love the pieces that use oxidized sterling silver to make the sparkling stones stand out in a unique way.

Indra Star Necklace, Asteria Celestial Necklace ($199), Selene Moon & Star Necklace ($175), Theia Crescent Moon Necklace ($105)

Lucine Blush Moonstone & Diamond Crescent Moon ($375), Orion Labradorite & Diamond Starburst Necklace ($149)

5. Classic (With a Twist)

Classic pieces never go out of style. With simple silhouettes in traditional colors, these picks will look great for any occasion.

We love our Gabriel and Company sterling silver pieces for gifts because they are the epitome of classic style but also have unique details, such as a hammered finish or faceted doublet stones, that bring them beyond the ordinary.

Green Onyx Necklace ($150), Sterling Tassel Necklace ($250)

Quatrefoil Diamond Necklace ($149), Mother of Pearl Doublet Necklace ($238), Pavé Circle Diamond Necklace ($225)

For the girl who prefers a bracelet to a necklace, we love our Bella Cavo bracelets.

A flexible cable design, these pieces combine texture and a touch of sparkle in classic styles.

We love the black rhodium and rose gold styles for those looking to add a more modern edge to this classic style.

Vertical Bar 5 Cable Cuff in Rose Gold ($199), Pavé Station 5 Cable Cuff in Black Rhodium, Buckle 2 Cable Cuff in Silver and Rose Gold

6. Add a Little (Hogwarts) Magic

Pandora has just released a collaborative collection with Warner Bros. featuring Harry Potter and we are totally there for it. Using popular symbols with delicate details (look closely- Dobby is holding a sock behind his back!), these charms are a must-have for any Harry Potter fan.

Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, and Dobby charms ($55)

Reversible Hogwarts Castle/Crest ($45), Hogwarts Express ($55)

We love the different house crests adorned with the house symbol and traits on two layered disks. The character charms are also adorable- we love the enamel accents on their house scarves!

Don’t have a Pandora bracelet? These charms look great on a chain as a necklace as well!

7. Make Christmas Last

Looking for a gift that will last through the years? This pick might be just right for you! Our Fine Jewelry collection has heirloom pieces in white, rose, or yellow gold that will last a lifetime. While sterling silver and semi-precious gemstone pieces are beautiful, they are not durable enough to hold up well to the rigors of everyday wear.

Pieces that are going to be see continuous wear for many years are much more likely to stay whole and sparkling when they are made from gold and precious stones, such as diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds, which are much harder than their semi-precious counterparts.

Morganite and 14k Rose Gold Ring ($1534), 14k Diamond Tiara Ring ($858), 14k Rose Gold Diamond Eternity Band, 14k White Gold Diamond Marquise Band

14k White Gold & Diamond Anchor Necklace ($425), 14k Rose Gold & Diamond Moravian Star Necklace ($625)

We have beautiful pieces in our Fine Jewelry collection ranging from 14k hoops priced under $150 to runway-worthy pieces from Sethi Couture with gorgeous colored diamonds set in 18k gold. Looking for something specific? Our jeweler can help you design a one-of-a-kind custom piece!

8. Go Natural

Have you heard? Gemstones are all the rage! From their beautiful natural colors to their symbolic meaning and healing properties, gemstone jewelry and accessories are turning heads everywhere.

We love our locally made WinterLemon gemstone bracelets, necklaces, and earrings to combine natural tones and textures in new ways. Their labradorite and moonstone pieces have a beautiful iridescence and are some of our favorite gems! The raw sapphire bracelets are another must-have on our list.

The gemstone stretch bracelets make great stocking stuffers and meaningful teacher gifts. We love mixing and matching the different stones- let us help you put together a special set for that special someone!

Carnelian and Labradorite bracelet ($52), Faceted Labradorite bracelet ($29), Mara Labradorite Starburst Medallion necklace ($175)

Another beautiful way to celebrate the beauty of gemstones and their wellness-related properties is with our GemWater glass bottles. These sleek borosilicate glass bottles have a chamber filled with semi-precious stones chosen for their specific healing properties. The natural vibrations of the stones make the water more crisp and alkaline, helping you achieve your wellness goals while hydrating in style!

GemWater Wellness Bottle with Rose Quartz and Amethyst ($78)

GemWater Fitness Bottle with Quartz and Red Jasper ($98)

9. Celebrate your Love for Local- The Jewelry Way

We love where we live. We celebrate this by bringing in goods made by local artists, supporting local charities, and carrying products that help you show off your local pride as well! Our exclusive Star of Bethlehem collection is a great way to support a local designer and show off your love for Bethlehem with some of its most powerful symbols.

Large Open Star of Bethlehem Necklace ($89), Small Open Star of Bethlehem Necklace ($), Star of Bethlehem and I-Beam Bangle ($89)

Silver and Diamond Star of Bethlehem Necklace ($175), 14k Open Star of Bethlehem Necklace ($410)

Our stylized local maps are a great way to celebrate your roots. We also have several maps from farther afield, such as Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, if you are transplant to the area!

Our locally made candles, which come in scents such as Hazelnut Mocha and Christmas in Bethlehem, are decorated with the Star of Bethlehem. We even have folded Moravian Star ornaments in various colors and sizes as fun stocking stuffers!

The newly released Pandora Shine 18k gold plated collection as made their gold pieces more accessible for the cost-conscious shopper. We love the pineapple charm for summer! Julie Vos jewelry is also a great way to add a touch of gold without splurging for a solid 14k or 18k piece.

All You Need is Love… But a Little Sparkle Never Hurts- Our Valentine’s Day Top 10

February 5, 2019

Love is in the air! Is that loving feeling being hampered by the frustrations of finding the perfect gift? We have you covered with this year’s Valentine’s Day Top 10! Read on to find out our picks for the perfect gifts to help express your feelings of love this Valentine’s Day.

1- Make it Meaningful

The perfect gift has as much to do with the thought put into it as it does the gift itself. Jewelry is a very personal gift. Finding a piece that expresses a meaningful sentiment is a wonderful way to let your loved one know that they took the time to find something they believe would be significant to them.

We love both our talismans and Compass Rose collections to help bring meaning to a beautiful piece of jewelry. Our Pyrrha talismans are handmade from antique wax seals and use heraldry to represent different sentiments and ideals. Compass Rose impresses upon the wearer the joy of finding a person who is the steady star that helps them navigate their way through life.

Right Picture: Compass Rose Round Top ($40) on Sterling Bangle ($98) and Black Cord ($42)

We also love Brighton’s new Love Lockets line as a sentimental gift. These shining lockets come in a wide variety of sizes and lengths. Many of them feature Brighton’s signature heart- perfect for Valentine’s Day! Best of all- we can print a photo from your phone while you wait and install it in the locket for you!

Sweet Memory Love Locket ($52) and Contempo Heart Locket ($88)

2- From Here to Eternity

Jewelry that symbolize the everlasting nature of love is always a hit on Valentine’s Day. While hearts have always been the go-to symbol to exemplify love, it is always nice to find something new and fresh. We think pieces featuring the infinity symbol and the love knot show off your love in an elegant and classic way.

Left Picture: 14k White Gold & Diamond Vertical Infinity necklace ($385), 14k Yellow Gold & Diamond Infinity Necklace ($599)
Right Picture: Freida Rothman Sterling Silver & CZ Eternity Knot necklace ($150)

The knot symbol has many connections to love and loyalty. They signify a binding of two lives and interconnection between two people. They are complete loops that have no start or finish, symbolizing an eternity of loyalty, faith, friendship and love.

Love Knot- Valentine's Day Top 10 — Left Picture: Pandora Luminous Love Knot ($55) ring, Infinite Shine ($45) ring, Sparkling Love Knot ($70) ring
Right Picture: 14k & Diamond Eternity Knot Necklace ($799), 18k White Gold & Diamond Eternity Knot Hinged Bangle ($4,260), 14k White Gold Braided Diamond Band ($1,125)

3- Her Favorite Kind of Rose

Let’s face it- as much as we love a dozen roses, even the freshest flowers will only last a week. That is why we love rose gold! It evokes the same warm, fuzzy feeling but we will be able to admire it for years to come.

If you love rose gold and want a piece that you can wear everyday for years to come without any worries, it is a good idea to invest in a piece of solid 14k rose gold. 14k gold has a durability that sterling silver lacks, which is important for a piece that sees a lot of wear. Additionally, the beautiful rose color extends through the whole piece, so the finish can never “wear off” like it does in plated pieces.

Left Picture: 14k Rose Gold Morganite & Diamond Ring ($1,534), Rose Gold Pink Moonstone Statement Necklace ($2,700), Two-Tone Rose & White Linked Oval Necklace with Diamonds ($1,475)
Right Picture, Bottom to Top: 14k Rose Gold Interwoven Ring ($492), 14k Rose Gold Channel Set Diamond Ring ($1,300), 14k Rose Gold Entwined Ring ($1,032), 14k Rose Gold Morganite & Diamond Ring

For the more budget-conscious or casual rose gold wearer, Pandora has an option called Pandora Rose. While not actual rose gold, it is given a rosy hue by adding copper to sterling silver. Although they will not maintain their look for as long as a true rose gold piece, Pandora Rose is a great way to add a touch of rose color to your jewelry wardrobe without investing in a 14k item.

Left Picture: Open Bangle w/Sparkling Ends ($125) styled with Pandora Rose Inspiration Within ($50), Silver Glitter Ball ($40), and Pandora Rose Beaded Heart ($40) charms. Pandora Rose Open Bangle ($200) styled with Pandora Rose Galaxy ($75) and Pandora Rose Radiant Hearts ($100) charms.
Right Picture: Pandora Rose Twist of Fate ring ($150), Petite Alluring Brilliance ($80), Fairytale Tiara ($80), Pandora Rose Hearts of Pandora ($100), Alluring Brilliance ($90)

4- Give Her the Moon and Stars

You may think we are speaking metaphorically, but we are not– celestial themed jewelry is all the rage! From influencers and celebrities on your TV or favorite blog to your neighborhood trendsetter here at home, jewelry that reflects the beauty of the starry skies is everywhere. We love the idea of taking this popular trend and making it mean something special this Valentine’s Day!

Left Picture: Galatea Tsavorite Garnet & Diamond 18k Rose Gold necklace ($1,950)
Right Picture: Waxing Poetic Kristal Halo ($69) and Be the Light ($55) pendants on 28″ Silver Ensemble Charm Catcher necklace ($125)

For those of you who love to your local community as much as the far-away celestial wonders, our WinterLemon jewelry features many beautiful star-themed designs and is made locally in Bethlehem!

Left Picture: Indra Star Diamond Necklace ($149), Astrid Two-Tone Rose Moravian Star Diamond Necklace ($245), Cressida Diamond Star Silhouette Diamond Necklace ($298), Rose Vermeil Star of Bethlehem Necklace ($89)
Right Picture: Callisto Moon Necklace ($89), Asteria Celestial Duo Diamond Necklace ($325), Selene Moon and Star Diamond Necklace ($260)

5- Be True (Blue)

Diamonds may have token the throne as the queen of stones in the today’s eye, but sapphires have a long history in the realm of romance and royalty. Long thought to symbolize truth, sincerity, nobility, and faithfulness, the sapphire stands out with its vibrant color. Like the diamond, sapphires have a high hardness and are able to stand up to heavier wear.

Left Picture- 14k Sapphire and Diamond Stud Earrings ($558)
Right Picture- 18k Two-Tone Sapphire and Diamond Pendant ($2,831)

The sapphire is making a comeback in bridal jewelry in modern times, spearheaded by the gorgeous sapphire engagement ring worn given to Princess Diana, now worn by Duchess Kate Middleton. Prefer a more vintage look? Check out our great sapphire estate pieces!

Left Picture- Thin 14k Diamond and Sapphire Band ($944), Wide 14k Double Diamond and Sapphire Band ($999)
Right Picture- Estate Diamond & Sapphire Studs ($259), Estate Diamond & Sapphire Textured Band ($399), Estate Diamond & Sapphire Fleur Ring ($395)

6- Shine Bright

A great way to complement your loved one’s sparkling personality is with a piece of jewelry that shines brightly as well. While rose gold and yellow gold have been gaining popularity, bright white gold and silver bring their own special radiance.

Left Picture: Large Curb Link Statement Necklace ($1,695)
Right Picture: Double Drop Geometric Necklace ($135), Silver Bubbles Necklace ($145), White Sapphire Lined Pear Necklace ($225)

Sparkling statement and stacking rings are also a great way to bring a bit of bright silver into her life!

Right Picture: Pandora Regal Beauty ($45), Hearts of Pandora ($80), Droplets ($55) and Princess Wish ($75) with Radiant Teardrop ring ($75)

7- Get Romantic

Romance is more than a feeling that happens around Valentine’s Day- it’s a style! The romantic style often tends towards sentimental, vintage and nature-inspired themes. Pieces that go beyond the ordinary will give her those fairytale feels! We especially love the mix of modern and vintage in Sorrelli jewelry’s statement necklaces for the girl with romantic tendencies.

Left Picture: Sorrelli Precious Petals Statement Necklace ($185)
Right Picture: Freida Rothman Four Points Cocktail Ring ($165) and Starburst Oval Cocktail Ring ($165)

Sethi Couture’s True Romance and Enchanted Garden collections are the embodiment of the romantic jewelry genre. Studded with natural colored diamonds in beautiful floral and calligraphy inspired shapes, it is no wonder their pieces have become a staple on the Oscars red carpet!

Left Picture: Sethi Couture Scroll Diamond Ring ($2,400), Green Diamond Band ($1,300), Chocolate Diamond Band ($1,300)
Right Picture: Sethi Couture Enchanted Garden Briolette Drop Earrings ($2,600)

8- Stay Classic

Not everyone enjoys a romantic flourish or symbolic sentiment. Sometimes it is best to stick with the classics- there is a reason they have lasted so long! For the lady with a classic style, simple silhouettes in understated sizes and settings are a fitting choice.

Left Picture: 14k Oval Station Necklace ($1,850)
Right Picture: Pandora Sparkling Strand bracelet ($55), Open Bangle ($80) styled with Pave Lights ($70), Galaxy Spacer ($40), and Pave Sphere ($75) charms

Because classic styles withstand the changing trends, a good classic piece is an important investment. A well-loved piece that is built to withstand years of wear brings joy not only to the original wearer, but can be handed down as an heirloom.

Left Picture: 14k Nested Teardrop Necklace ($1,090)
Right Picture: Sethi Couture True Romance Diamond Studs ($2,000)

9- Here Comes the Bride

For the newly engaged, this Valentine’s Day may feel more momentous than others. The excitement of planning a life together with the one you love is something at the forefront of your mind. Acknowledging that anticipation is a wonderful way to make their Valentine’s Day extra special.

One fun idea is to fill one of her wedding day must-haves! Sorrelli is well-known for their bridal jewelry- we love their light blue pieces as a fun way to add that something blue! If you are shopping for wedding bands, our Estate Collection pieces can give her a something old that really sparkles.

Left Picture: Halcyon Stud Earrings ($45), Twinkling Thistle Necklace ($120)
Right Picture: Estate Nine Diamond Band ($1,200), Estate Leo Diamond Band ($1,200)

If you want your significant other to design their own perfect engagement ring, we are happy to help! Give us a call to set up an appointment for a custom design consultation with our owner, Gary Werkheiser. Our jewelers have made some stunning custom pieces and can work with you to find the perfect design within your budget.

If you are engagement ring shopping with a girl who likes to think outside the box, we have some great alternative bridal selections as well!

Left Picture: Sethi Couture Mahogany Diamond Ring ($4,800), Art Deco Multi-Color Diamond Band ($2,700)
Right Picture: Two-Tone 18k Yellow Diamond Halo Ring ($4,652)

10- Sweet Child of Mine

Not all Valentine’s Day gifts need to celebrate romantic love. Sometimes it is just as important for a mom or dad to give a small sentiment to remind their children that they will always be loved unconditionally. We love the messages of some of our WinterLemon Wellness collection, reminding our girls to love themselves and have confidence that they are enough.

Our Wellness Collection gemstone bracelets are also a sweet gift to tell someone that you are thinking of them. Each bracelet comes with a card that describes the properties of the gemstone- we love the idea of choosing stones that enhance feelings of peace, love, and self worth. Our side-by-side and linked love necklaces are also a fun way to celebrate the love of a mother and daughter.

Left Picture: WinterLemon Wellness Gemstone bracelets (starting at $28)
Right Picture: Side-by-Side Necklace ($49), Linked Love Necklace ($65)

#3 – Accessorize in the Colors of the Season

We may not love the cold and the snow of winter, but we do love the colors of the season! Fun accessories in dark grey, winter white, and wine reds add a stylish touch to any outfit. Our new Katie Loxton Florrie bags are a must-have on our list this year- we love the side tassel!

#4 – Lockets Filled with Love

The locket is a classic way to give someone a gift that keeps their loved ones close to their heart. We love the new Brighton Love Lockets collection for a meaningful gift this Christmas. Available in a variety of styles, we are equipped with a special printer to print out a picture from your phone in-store in the exact size needed for each locket!

Pandora also has a beautiful locket concept- the Floating Memory Locket. Made with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the open window of these lockets show off a grouping of petite charms. With initials, birthstones, and other love and family related charms, it is easy to make a locket the represents your love and family.

#6 – Something for the Boys

Tucked in amongst all the sparkle, we have some wonderful gifts for the men in your life too! Our new line of jewelry, Pyrrha talismans, is a favorite among celebrity men. Designed from antique wax seals with a rustic, hand finished feel, these sterling and bronze talismans each have a meaning taken from heraldry.

The Fatherhood talisman is a particularly meaningful gift for the new dad!

For the man who won’t venture into the jewelry world, we have some great gifts upstairs in Haven, too! Our large map prints are great for decorating his office or den- choose a place that is meaningful or memorable for both of you for an extra layer of love!

Boston Graphic Black & White Map Print ($15)

#7 – Stay Warm with Rose Gold

We love the way rose gold warms up any palette. You can mix it with your silver jewelry to add a touch of blush or go all rose for a statement look. In recent years rose gold has become the “it” metal to have- get in on the trend this holiday!

Ti Sento Milano Rose Necklace with Pink Cabochon ($139) and Double Drop Rose Necklace ($139); Rose Gold, Diamond, & Morganite Ring ($1534), White Gold & Diamond Leaf Ring ($570)

Pandora Rose reimagines some of our favorite charms and jewelry in the rose gold tone. We love the new Pandora Rose open bangle!

For the girl with a more dainty style, we love this labradorite and rose gold star bracelet from WinterLemon.

#8 – Make it Mean Something

A gift meant to express a particular sentiment is always a good idea because it shows that time and thought were put into choosing something significant.

Our Talisman collection necklaces use expressive words and images to symbolize different attributes. Each Talisman comes with a card that explains the meaning behind the piece. We love the Oak Tree talisman, meaning strength & family roots, and the Seraphim, a messenger of light.

Wish Talisman Necklace ($59), Seraphim Talisman Necklace ($69); Explore, Dream, Discover Talisman Necklace ($65), Oak Tree Talisman Necklace ($85)

Our Compass Rose collection is also a wonderful way to bring meaning to your gift this year. A symbol of guidance, the Compass Rose encourages us to remember that “we are not just travelers, but navigators of our future.” It is the perfect gift for someone taking on new responsibilities or directions in their life. It is also perfect for the people in our life who love to explore the world!

Winter is here- the season for cushy blankets and warm fires. Joy is found in things that are soft and comforting. Bring some of that cozy spirit under the tree this year!

Soft knit scarves and other cold-weather accessories (starting at $24)

We love our coat/cardigan hybrids! Densely woven, they are well insulated and really keep out the chill.

Our locally-made Essential Oil Soy Candles will help turn your home into a cozy haven. Each candle comes with a small booklet explaining the benefits of the essential oils used.

Rejuvenation Grapefruit & Rosemary Candle, Balance Cedarwood & Sage Candle, Serenity Lavender & Vanilla Candle, Foundation Juniper, Bergamot & Black Pepper Candle, Comfort Ginger & Clove Candle ($16 each)

#10 – Delicate Diamonds

Nothing brings the sparkle on Christmas morning like a touch of diamonds. This year’s trend is a dainty look perfect for layering.

For an heirloom quality piece to really cherish, 14k will let your investment last for years to come. Unlike silver, which is a soft material that will wear down over time and risk losing stones, 14k gold is durable and can hold up to everyday wear. Some of our favorite delicate diamond pieces are the infinity and anchor. Simple, beautiful, and meaningful- what’s not to love?

White Gold & Diamond Infinity Necklace ($385), Yellow Gold & Diamond Tapered Vertical Bar Necklace ($425), White Gold & Diamond Anchor Necklace ($425), Yellow Gold & Diamond Triangle Necklace ($399)

Chandra Diamond & Labradorite Necklace ($125), Sophia Opal & Diamond Slice Necklace ($125), Persephone Diamond & Moonstone Necklace ($109); Quatrefoil Diamond Necklace ($149), Black Mother of Pearl & Diamond Necklace ($238), Pavé Circle Diamond Necklace ($225)

If you are on a tight budget but still want to bring the sparkle, sterling silver set necklaces are a good option. While not as durable as 14k gold, when treated with care they are a beautiful alternative. We love the look of oxidized sterling silver to make the diamond’s brilliance stand out.

#11 – Make a Statement with Color

Nothing adds some excitement to a boring outfit like a pop of color. Bring some new energy into her jewelry by choosing a piece that makes a statement with color.

For a minimalist style, keep a simple palette, like her favorite color or the color of her birthstone.

Gabriel & Co Blue Mother of Pearl Halo Necklace ($288); Blue Sapphire Leaf Bypass Ring ($99)

For a more organic look, use natural gemstones to bring some color into her life.

Antonia Raw Sapphire Necklace ($79), Phoebe Moonstone Necklace ($89), Violet Raw Sapphire Necklace ($75), Sierra Labradorite Necklace ($124), Beatrice Multi-Color Tourmaline Necklace ($89); WinterLemon Gemstone Bracelets, starting at $20

For the experts in both color and sparkle, look to Sorrelli Jewelry. Their gorgeous pieces exhibit a range of complementary colors- we love the plums, tiger’s eye, and sage greens of their Mahogany collection!

Vervain Mahogany Statement Necklace ($230), Dahlia Mahogany Bracelet ($125), Perfect Harmony Mahogany Drop Earrings ($110)

#12 – The Gift of Choice

While some people say that gift cards lack the emotion of a thought-out gift, sometimes what a girl really wants is an excuse to go get herself something she loves without worrying if she should really be treating herself. Want to really wow her? Hide it in one of our adorable Katie Loxton clutch pouches!

It’s Your Time to Shine- Our 10 Favorite Gifts for Grads

June 7, 2018

It’s graduation party season! Hats off to the new graduates for all of their hard work and achievements. 🎓 Finding the perfect gift to celebrate these accomplishments can be a struggle- so we have assembled a list of our top ten favorite graduation gifts to take the stress out of graduation shopping.

Navigate Your Own Future

One of our favorite gifts for milestone occasions is our Compass Rose necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Starting at $85, these beautiful pieces feature the symbol of the compass, representing direction, guidance, and trailblazing.

Compass Rose with Sapphires $220, 14k Compass Rose Stud Earrings $75

Each Compass Rose piece comes with a card connecting the compass symbol to the occasion. One of the standard cards expresses that we are not just travelers, but navigators of our future. This is a great way to remind the graduate that they have been instilled with the tools that will help them journey towards success and the achievement of their dreams. There is also a graduation themed card that uses a quote by Emerson that tells the graduate “do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

Sterling Silver and 14k Rose Gold Compass Rose, $145

The Compass Rose collection includes sterling silver, two-tone, and 14k gold versions. Several of the sterling silver necklaces are available with gemstone accents to add a little color or sparkle to this beautiful symbol.

You can find our Compass Rose collection here.

Symbols of Success

Another great way to symbolize the achievements of the new graduate is our Talisman collection necklaces. These dainty necklaces feature either a meaningful symbol or phrase and come packaged with a card that explains the meaning of that symbol.

Star of Bethlehem Sterling Talisman with Oxidized Chain ($69), Dragonfly Large Sterling Talisman ($85), Snake Antique Book Talisman ($69), Going Places and Explore Dream Discover Talisman ($65)

We particularly love the Star of Bethlehem, Dragonfly, and Snake symbols for the graduate, symbolizing an inspiring path forward and the pursuit of new dreams. The Going Places and Explore Dream Discover word talismans are also great choices!

You can explore all of the Talisman Collection here.

Because She’s a Gem

One of our newest favorite things are our WinterLemon Wellness necklaces. These dainty necklaces, which are handmade locally in Bethlehem, each feature a set of three natural gemstones.

Lapis Wellness Necklace, Pyrite Wellness Necklace, Tiger’s Eye Wellness Necklace, Aventurine Wellness Necklace (all $49)

Each necklace is packaged on a card that talks about the properties of the gemstone.

We love the “She Believed She Could, So She Did” Lapis Necklace, “Make It Happen” Pyrite Necklace, and “Carpe Diem” Apatite necklace for the new graduate!

Thanks for the Memories

A new Pandora bracelet is always a great gift for a big occasion. With their ever-expanding repertoire of both meaningful and beautiful charms, it is easy to start a stunning bracelet that captures the graduation moment. Starting a new Pandora bracelet gives your graduate a piece of jewelry that she can use to memorialize the next big steps in her life- whether it be finding her dream career, continuing her education, or creating her own home and family.

Essence Open Bangle ($65) with Dedication ($55), Strength ($45), and Strength ($60) charms. Pandora Moments Bangle ($65) with Dreamcatcher ($50), Light Blue Petite Facets ($50 each), Pave Lights ($70 each), and Ribbed Clips ($30 each)

We love the new Dreamcatcher charm, inscribed on the top with “Follow Your Dreams” as the centerpiece of a new bracelet. For the girl who prefers more of a fashion look to the traditional charm bracelet, the Essence collection is the perfect solution. The Essence Collection features a daintier bracelet with smaller charms that are more uniform in size and shape. Each charm is associated with a different attribute, such as wisdom or dedication, which is engraved on the side of the charm.

Reach for the Stars

Next on our top 10 picks for the recent graduate is our celestial-themed jewelry from WinterLemon. These diamond accented pieces are a wonderful way to tell your graduate to keep reaching for the stars.

Polaris Star Necklace ($175), Rose Gold Vermeil Star of Bethlehem Necklace ($99), Soleil Sunburst Necklace ($175)

Handmade locally in Bethlehem, these pieces stand out from tired old styles of mass-produced jewelry. We love the use of oxidized sterling silver and rose gold to add a different style to a common symbol.

Andromeda Star & Moon Necklace ($320), Diamond Starburst Compass Necklace ($115), Black Spinel Moravian Star Silhouette Necklace ($115), Lyra Star Necklace ($205)

Many of our WinterLemon celestial necklaces feature starbursts that remind us of the Moravian Star- a perfect way for the graduate to honor her time in Bethlehem.

You can see more of our WinterLemon collection here.

Turn the Tassel

One of the biggest symbols of graduation is the graduate turning the tassel at the end of the ceremony. We think a great way to honor that moment is with tassel themed jewelry!

Cometa Tassel Necklace ($275), Pink Sapphire Long Tassel Necklace ($149)

Many of our brands include tassel jewelry within their offerings- from fashion jewelry such as Sorrelli and Brighton to sterling silver offerings from Pandora, WinterLemon, and Officina Bernardi.

Watch Over Her

Graduation is an exciting and life changing event. Much of the time, it means that the graduate is going to be going off into the world and leaving home. We love the idea of an Angel Whisperer necklace as a gift that reminds them that they will always be watched over with love.

Each Thortiuda necklace opens to reveal a colored chime. This chime is meant to “call your angel” to watch over you. This representation is very symbolic for the graduate, who may be spreading her wings and living on their own for the first time. Each color is representative of a different value and has a slightly different sound. Grey symbolizes wisdom and decisions, great for the new graduate!

The Thortiuda pendant comes in sterling silver, dark ruthenium plated, rose gold plated, and yellow gold plated styles. In addition to being meaningful it is very stylish- it is one of the jewelry items in our store that our customers come back to tell us they get the most compliments on!

You can explore our Thortiuda collection here.

Make Her Shine

The classic gift for the graduate is an heirloom piece of jewelry that they can cherish their whole life as a symbol of their great accomplishment. For a piece that will last a lifetime and never go out of style, there is no match for fine jewelry. Gold jewelry, either yellow, white, or rose, is much more durable than silver fashion jewelry and can stand everyday wear and years of love. Fine jewelry also holds its value and will be something that your graduate can someday gift to her children.

Yellow Gold and Diamond Clover Necklace ($350), White Gold and Diamond Starburst Necklace ($539), Delicate Rose Gold Necklace with Single Diamond ($380), Diamond Stud Earrings ($450), Rose Gold Pave Diamond Stud Earrings ($425)

We love simple gold and diamond necklaces or studs as a graduation gift. While stylish, they are not overly trendy and will never go out of style.

You can explore more of our fine jewelry here.

Remind Her of Home

For the graduate leaving home to go to college or a new job, a reminder of where she is anchored is a unique graduation gift. Our Lat & Lo latitude and longitude bar necklaces and cuff bracelets have the location of Bethlehem on the front and are engraved “Bethlehem” with the Star of Bethlehem symbol on the back.

Available in both sterling silver ($64) and gold filled ($69), they are a visible reminder of the graduates roots.

For the graduate who went to school at Moravian or Lehigh, it is a great way to celebrate the special place where she got her education!

Celebrate Her Alma Mater

Our last graduation gift pick is for the local college graduate. Upstairs in Haven, we have a lot of local art celebrating the historic landmarks and locations in the Lehigh Valley. In addition to our maps and photo prints, we have several antique postcard reproductions featuring our local colleges!

Pardee Hall Framed — Lafayette College 8×10″ Print ($12 unframed)

Moravian College Comenius Hall 8×10″ Print ($12 unframed)

Lehigh University Bird’s Eye View 8×10″ Print ($12 unframed)

You can explore more of our local art here.
