The best gifts, as the saying goes, come in small packages. In particular, we’re talking about the kinds encased in a hinged box, often lined in velvet or satin, that opens to reveal something sparkly—a gift idea that, year after year, never loses its luster.
Since time immemorial, in fact, jewelry has been a favored gift option—in large part because it stands the test of time. Intricately crafted pieces made of the finest metals and adorned with a dazzling display of high-quality gems are presents sure to last for the long haul. They are not ephemeral; in fact, they appreciate in value over time as heirlooms.
A brand that exemplifies this sentiment superbly is TACORI, a house offering exquisite pieces handcrafted in California by artisans from around the globe who imbue each with their passion and precision. The designs are classic and timeless, yet also contain hidden details—the signature TACORI Crescent, for example, on the inner face of a ring or the back of an earring—that leave room for discovery. The result is heirloom-quality jewelry that is certain to spark a sense of wonder long after the package is unwrapped. Whatever you choose to give will be a daily reminder of your close relationship—and when it comes to holiday gifts, we can think of no better reaction than that.
Ahead, we’ve curated eight pieces from TACORI that are primed for the gift-giving season.
The gleam of gold on a wrist should never be taken for granted; it can be the key to giving your loved one the charisma, the boost of confidence, to conquer the days ahead. This bangle—from a collection inspired by the sun’s corona during a solar eclipse—adds signature crescent-shaped clusters of diamonds for that much more sparkle.
The real beauty behind an emerald-cut diamond is the way it refracts light to shine with its own particular kind of brightness. This pair will surely make its wearer the belle of the ball.
From the three joining gold bands to the twinkling clusters of diamonds, this ring has a heavenly quality. The feelings of eternal sunshine it conjures will serve as a bright spot even on gloomy days.
A great chain necklace is a wardrobe essential that can be worn with jeans and a tee or the sleekest suit. This one features gently sparkling clusters of almost 800 hand-selected and hand-set brilliant round diamonds that elevate it several cuts above the rest.
Even if she veers toward the minimalist end of the style spectrum, there’s no denying the allure of sparkling diamond studs. On these, each center diamond is enhanced with a spotlight bloom that makes it appear larger, while intricate lacelike detailing embraces it on the reverse.
This necklace will center a look, giving any outfit greater dimension. It invites passing eyes to come closer and inspect the bold design of the multi-sided bezel with its emerald-cut diamond, as well as the hand-cut diamonds on the reverse.
