Holiday parties may have come to a close, but you’ve got (at least) one more special date coming up before you’re off the hook, guys: Valentine’s Day. Don’t fret! As always, we’ve got you covered. We touched base with three Buckhead-based jewelry designers on how to deliver something sparkly and spectacular for the special lady in your life. Order right off the designer’s website or visit one of the Buckhead boutiques that carry these beautiful jewels to make your selection.
Frosted Femininity
Talk about artistry! Lisa Stein melts a combination of 18-karat gold and rose gold to create her custom crest initials before carefully placing champagne diamonds in each letter. These short, chokeresque necklaces are perfect for solitary everyday wear or layered with other personalized pieces. Charms are sold separately on a leather cord, but listen up, fellas: the more charms, the better. Crest Charms on leather cord, $800 each
Diamond in the Rough
We got our hands on these earrings before local designer Keisha Noel shipped them off to Los Angeles, where this gothic glam style has sold so well. When asked about the inspiration for these stunning ornaments, Noel told us that she created them as a “symbol of celebrating life.” For the rocker chic gal in your life, the ornate wing and skull combination earrings made of stunning oxidized sterling silver, 14 karat gold and pavé diamonds are the ticket to your (diamond-loving) lady’s heart this Valentine’s Day. Skull & Wing earrings, price upon request
Simply Stated
While many of Ingrid Ysla’s creations are big, bold, beautiful statement pendants, we chose this particular piece from her vast collection because it shows the designer’s softer side. In this wear with anything and everything necklace, Ysla pulled together a variety of materials. The black matte beads hold a CZ gunmetal and gold cross, brass coin and vintage brass fleur de lis charm. We picked this necklace up from Range Boutique in Buckhead but Ingrid will also put together a custom necklace of hand selected pendants, beads and medals if you so desire. Contact designer for details. Charms on beaded strand, $145
