Not sure what to get your loved one this year?
Need a little something sparkly under the tree?
Love is not always about ‘things’, we know. However, sometimes an heirloom quality piece of jewelry is the perfect reminder. A small token of love with every wear. This Hamilton Hill Holiday Gift Guide is meant to help you navigate the ever increasing sea of gift options on our site and beyond. For 22 years we have curated our jewelry suggestions to our clients and now we would like to bring you in on the tradition! At the end of the day, we want all of our jewelry recipients to glow inside and out in their Hamilton Hill jewelry. Here are the top ten (unique) picks that we think every jewelry lover should have in their collection!

Ken Weston Tourmaline ‘Architecture Series’ Ring
Price $11,700
Our master goldsmith Ken Weston has done it again. It is hard to describe the joy that this juicy pink tourmaline ring sparks. Colorful and substantial and positively beaming with presence. To whomever ends up with this piece of jewelry heaven, just know there are Hamilton Hill staff who may be a bit envious.
Niessing Colette C Embrace Bracelet
Price RANGE $1,500 – $4,000
We expect Niessng Colette bracelets to be a Hamilton Hill staple for a long time to come. We love this bracelet for its sleek design and its all-day, all-night, every-day wearability. The Niessing Colette ‘C’ can be worn alone or stacked with other bracelets. Start or add to a Colette collection!
Majoral Party Line
Price RANGE $ 110 – $4,000
Imagine you’re on Formentera, Spain, summer home to Majoral, wearing your matching ‘Party’ bracelet, earrings, and necklace. You’re under a big hat with killer shades. You’re at a chic beach club or restaurant. The Mediterranean Sea unfolds before you. Or imagine you’re kicking around in Durham, NC looking sharp! Sometimes that’s good enough! Party party on, in silver or gold!
Humphrey Steel ‘Milanese’ Diamond Bracelet
Price $1,460
Know someone who seems to have it all? We bet they don’t have this! A very sleek, stainless steel mesh bracelet with a row of diamonds and an excellent “butterfly” clasp might be just the thing to stop them in their tracks!
Niessing Artist Pendant
Price $2,300
A spray of diamonds along the collar bone is subtle, sweet AND a statement in its own right. Relish the quiet luxury of having nine twinkling diamonds dance across your decolletage. This Niessing pendant which threads onto the Niessing coil is modernism at its finest. Delightful!
Schaffrath ‘Calla’ Ring
Price Range $2,200 – $9,900+-
Schaffrath’s ‘Calla’ diamond ring says “I love you” in every worldly language. Perhaps even in extraterrestrial languages! The silhouette of gold embracing and mirroring the precious diamond says “I know you. I know your style. I got you, babe!” To the lucky recipients of a Schaffrath ‘Calla’ we say: You got one of the all time best diamond rings!
Men’s Bracelets
Price Range $250 -$4,000+
Jewelry for all. Jewelry for everyday wear. Time to jazz up fabric and beaded looks with silver, steel, or platinum bracelets as in the image at left. Or maybe a Ken Weston wood bracelet or a Gellner macrame bracelet is more his style? HH’s selection of men’s bracelets is fresh, cool, and distinctive, ready to give a boost for stepping up to the next level.
Carl Dau Navette Earrings
Price Range $175 – $990
If you know, you know. These Carl Dau Stainless Steel Earrings have been HH favorites for a long time (since 2007!). They never fail… If you or someone you know needs an everyday earring, look no further. They come in yellow gold, rose gold, and stainless steel so you have one for every outfit. Sublimely simple.
Gellner Tahitian Cultured Pearl Strand
Price Range $2,000-$25,000+
Pearls no longer have to feel stuffy or ‘too formal’ for everyday wear. The addition of Tahitian, Fijian, or Marutean pearls to your/their collection is the perfect way to add glowing texture to any look. These beauties can be worn on their own or stacked with other necklaces (the HH uniform). Gellner pearls are decidedly not old-fashioned. They are day to night pearls, from denim to a ballgown in the blink of an eye.
Sheila Stillman Earrings
Price $1,940
Hammered to perfection for the unique recipient in your life. These 22-karat yellow gold earrings with pear-shaped cabochon Aquamarines flatter the blue-eyed crowd and many others, too. In our humble opinion, this is a brilliant way to say Happy Holidays, Happy Birthday, I Love You Everyday! Handcrafted in little ol’ Durham, SJS brings a classical look to contemporary life. Che Bella!
