Gifts for Wife: A Gift That Says I Notice

Good gifts for wife ideas say more than I remembered the date, so this edit moves from fine jewelry and silk sleepwear to bags, fragrance, and cold-weather comforts. I would choose by the little routines and details she already loves.

Christmas Gifts for Mom: The Wrap She Will Keep Close

Christmas gifts for mom can run from cashmere layers and sleepwear to jewelry, beauty sets, and small things for home. I would choose the piece that fits her ordinary Tuesday, then let the wrapping do the festive part.

Christmas Gift Ideas: A Gift That Knows Its Recipient

Christmas gift ideas, from cashmere knits and gold jewelry to candles and fragrance sets, are sorted by the kind of person who will use them. I like the present that finds its way into someone's everyday routine.

Pieces of Kendall: Minimal Kendall Jenner Style Picks

Pieces of Kendall Jenner's off-duty look are minimal, refined silhouettes, like slim jeans, a clean pant and The Row's Marlo 12 bag. These are pieces inspired by her modern off-duty polish.

Statement Accessories: Sunglasses, Jewelry and Pops of Color

Statement accessories here mix sunglasses, jewelry and pieces that give you a pop of color. I sorted the picks by price so the cheap details and the splurges are easy to find.

SHASHI Jewelry: Pieces Worth the Price

SHASHI is a New York jewelry label with a soft spot for color, from jewel studs to friendship bracelets. I like how it treats earrings and rings as small personal choices instead of a matching set.

Rich Mom Energy: Tote Bags, Activewear and Coffee Cups

Rich mom energy comes down to tote bags, activewear and coffee cups. I gathered the pieces, from a Staud mini tote to a suede belt, that carry it.

Cartier Watches and Jewelry

Cartier was founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, who took over the workshop of his master Adolphe Picard. The house gave the world the Santos in 1904, the Tank in 1919, the panther motif and, in New York, Aldo Cipullo's Love bracelet and Juste un Clou. This edit gathers Baignoire and Santos watches, Panthère and C Décor sunglasses, Love bracelets, a Clash ring, Trinity hoops and La Panthère fragrance and eyeglasses.

Alexis Bittar Jewelry

Alexis Bittar started selling vintage jewellery on St Mark's Place in Manhattan at about thirteen, and by 1990 was hand-carving Lucite in his one-bedroom apartment with no design training at all. Bergdorf Goodman's fashion director Dawn Mello discovered him in 1992, which is the placement that made the career.

Annette Ferdinandsen Jewelry

Annette Ferdinandsen trained as a sculptor at the Rhode Island School of Design and found jewellery while studying studio art, which is the most useful fact about her work. Her father and grandfather were both model makers for Danish sculptors, so casting and carving are a family inheritance.

Armenta Jewelry

Emily Armenta traded at Morgan Stanley, then wrote the business plan for her jewellery company as a class assignment during her MBA at Rice, and launched it in Houston in 2001. The work is built on mixing oxidised silver with gold and setting micromosaics, ancient beads and enamel patinas into it.

Amrapali Jewelry

Amrapali was founded in Jaipur in 1978 by Rajiv Arora and Rajesh Ajmera, two school friends with history degrees, no jewellery background and about four hundred rupees of savings. They started out selling carved wooden boxes, then toured rural Rajasthan buying antique tribal silver to take apart and rebuild.

Pascale Monvoisin Jewelry

Pascale Monvoisin spent around fifteen years as a flight attendant for Air France before a batch of turquoise bought on a stopover in Jaipur turned into her first ring and, by 2009, her own Paris jewelry house. Every piece is still designed in her Paris studio and produced by artisans in that same Jaipur workshop, now grown from one craftsman into a full production unit.

Sig Ward Jewelry

Sig Ward spent over a decade working as an acupuncturist in Southern California before she started making beaded jewelry with the healing stones she used in her practice, a hobby that eventually became a full line called Rocks and Gems. She relaunched under her own name, Sig Ward Jewelry, around 2014, designing primarily in 14k and 18k gold and drawing on her mother's vintage jewelry collection and her childhood on the beaches of Tel Aviv.

State Property Jewelry

State Property is the Singaporean fine jewelry label started in 2015 by married couple Afzal Imram, trained in industrial design at the National University of Singapore, and Lin Ruiyin, trained in contemporary jewelry design at Central Saint Martins in London. They funded their first collection through commission work before launching properly, won Emerging Accessories Designer of the Year at the Singapore Fashion Awards in 2017, and landed their first major celebrity placement in 2018 when Nicole Kidman wore their earrings to a film premiere.

Fernando Jorge Jewelry

Fernando Jorge trained as a jewelry designer in São Paulo before moving to London in 2008 for a master's at Central Saint Martins, launching his own label out of that degree in 2010. His signature is sculptural, high-polish gold built around movement rather than stacked stones, made by artisans working across Brazil and Italy.

Suzanne Kalan Jewelry

Suzanne Kalan launched her eponymous jewelry line in Los Angeles in 1988, after years spent working in her father's downtown jewelry store and financing her start with a diamond bracelet given to her as a wedding gift. She is best known for the Fireworks setting, scattering baguette-cut diamonds and colored gemstones across a piece in a seemingly random pattern she developed after noticing loose baguettes spread across her desk.

Goshwara Jewelry

Sweta Jain launched Goshwara in 2005 in New York, after a childhood spent traveling with her gemstone-dealer father to mines in Africa and later training in jewelry design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The label is built around color first: bold, often unexpected gemstone pairings designed and manufactured entirely in New York.

Marlo Laz Jewelry

Jesse Marlo Lazowski grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, learning antique jewelry from her great-aunt before a trip to Jaipur, India in 2012 sent her to work directly with local artisans, and she launched Marlo Laz in New York in 2014 with a coin-inspired design called the Talisman. After studying at the Gemological Institute of America and apprenticing with a manufacturer in Manhattan's Diamond District, she built a line around symbols collected on her travels, hearts, eyes, elephants, horseshoes, that read as universal rather than tied to one culture.

Piranesi Jewelry

Abraham Hajibay started what became Piranesi in 1845, an Italian jewelry house that his family carried from Valenza and Milan all the way to Rockefeller Plaza in New York in 1976. The house is now on its fifth generation under Miriam Hajibay, who once collaborated on sketches with Elizabeth Taylor for a namesake collection, and it still centers on one-of-a-kind pieces built from fine gemstones and diamonds.

Engelbert Jewelry

Heribert Engelbert, a trained goldsmith, opened his jewelry business in Stockholm in 1920, and the company has stayed in family hands for four generations since. It survived a mid-century pivot into wedding and engagement jewelry set with diamonds at a time when Scandinavian bands were traditionally plain gold, plus a stint operating a Fifth Avenue office in New York in the 1960s under brothers Lars and Peter Engelbert.

Aliita Jewelry

Aliita was founded in Milan in 2015 by Cynthia Vilchez Castiglioni, who grew up in Maracaibo in Venezuela and studied fashion marketing at IED before working at Vionnet, Miu Miu and Jil Sander. The name is both an anagram of Italia and a Wayuu word for an important object, after the Guajiro people of Zulia where she was raised.

Aisha Baker Jewelry

Aisha Baker is a Dubai high-jewellery house founded in 2017 by the Emirati entrepreneur Aisha Bakhtiar with the designer Hoonik Chang, who trained in jewellery at Central Saint Martins. The pieces are built as narratives, with fairy-tale and fantasy themes running through collections released in tiny editions.

KHEPRI Jewelry

Reema Chopra founded Khepri Jewels in New York in 2023 after leaving a career that ran from private banking at CIBC to years of diamond wholesaling and gemstone sourcing on the city's diamond district, and getting GIA-certified as a gemologist along the way. The brand is named for the ancient Egyptian sun god of rebirth, and that idea is literal in its origin story: Chopra's first meaningful piece came from repurposing a friend's engagement ring into a necklace after a divorce.
