Some of these fabulous gift ideas could help YOU shine this holiday season.
Eye Candy
Instead of visions of sugarplums, we think your “jewel” might envision these “sweet” rings. Left, a gorgeous 3 ct. cushion-cut Tanzanite is surrounded by pave-set diamonds ($5,960). The stunning South Sea pearl ring boasts over 1.25 ct. of diamonds ($3,930). The turquoise Tacori ring features sterling silver, 18 Kt. gold and diamonds ($1,100). The gold bangle contains over 1.25 ct. in diamonds, set together to look like an uninterrupted stream of reflected light ($4,750).
Garlands of Pearls
She might be dreaming of a white Christmas… but the pearls she wants are probably some other color! Our white tree is wrapped with three separate long strands of pearls by Honora. Traditional white pearls earn the “Wow” factor when mixed with black onyx beads and sterling silver rope ($275). The strand with all shades of blue is from Honora’s Peacock collection ($165). The 36” Tahitian black pearl strand (which really features hues of blue, purple and gray) is a magnificent example of fine cultured pearls, harvested from black-lipped oysters ($1,625). Atop the tree is a pair of onyx and pearl earrings…for just $90.
Tacori Rings "Pop"
Chocolates are always a safe bet, but you’ll probably get a sweeter response by giving her
a Tacori ring. Known for its bridal line, Tacori has created an amazing sterling silver and
18 kt. gold line emphasizing big gemstones that you don’t see often.Our candy box displays
five of Tacori’s new rings: (R-L) Red Oynx w/ clear quartz ($470),
Cognac Quartz w/ diamonds in rose gold ($960), Rose Amythyst w/ pink
diamond halo ($1,490), Green Onyx w/ clear quartz ($560),
Prasiolite ($380). Each makes a statement at an affordable price.
"Cuff" Her in Silver & Gold
Cuff bracelets, so popular in the '60s, are back! They can be worn alone or stacked for more impact. Three bangles by Alwand Vahan top this tree. Made of silver with a touch of 18 K gold, some feature diamonds, others contain stones like citrine, green amythyst and black onyx. These bracelets are so practical, they can be dressy or worn with jeans, ($850 & up). The fourth and fifth cuffs are handmade in Bali, ($260 & $275). The open bangle with quatrefoil (shamrock-like) design made by Thistle & Bee ($875), is a little more expensive, but when you feel it, you’ll see why. The colorful bangle is stunning. Blue and green quartz stones are bezel-set into the hammered bracelet for a really unique look ($1,050). The last cuff displays braids of sterling silver with an intricate, engraved pattern at its opening ($650).
Inside Outside Earrings
Tell her she’s beautifulinside AND out with these amazing diamond hoop earrings that are literally lined with diamonds inside and outside the hoop. These come in white or yellow gold, in different hoop sizes, and with different carat weights of diamonds, ranging from $1,500 - $12,000.
Watches for Santa
Santa deserves a Kuhn’s box, too! Kuhn’s is the area's exclusive retailer for Rolex, but also offers a large selection of Swiss Army and Citizen watches.
Ribbons of Jewelry
Entwined in this ribbon are three long
necklaces that can be layered together, for a festive look. One looks like a diamond necklace, but is just sterling silver that’s strategically cut for maximum sparkle. This fun, blingy necklace is a steal at just $310. Since black and white is so big this year, this same designer rhodium-plated silver to make multi-strand bracelets ($385) and contrasting long necklaces ($435). The all-silver necklace with quatrefoil design interspersed with a heavy silver chain is another Thistle & Bee design ($525).
The Sparkle She's "Pining" For
Atop the pinecone is a flexible 18 Kt. gold bangle with pave-set diamonds ($2,875).
The same designer, DA Gold, makes the bangle below it. The middle strand features
diamonds for that extra bling factor ($3,930). The bracelet is made by Armenian designer Simon G, famous for his combinations of rose, white and yellow gold. With 2.26 cts. of diamonds, it’s a must-see, even if just to admire the workmanship ($7,040). The beautiful chandelier earrings are covered with pave-set diamonds; these earrings will move with you ($4,300).
The Gift of a Lifetime for the Love of Your Life Kuhn’s has the Shore's largest selection of engagement rings, featuring renowned designers, Tacori, (pictured), Simon G, Verragio and ArtCarved.
Pretty In Pink
Morganite, (or pink emerald), is a pinkish-brown stone discovered in California several years ago. It’s a pink that goes with a lot, not too vivid, not too pale. This retangular cushion-cut Morganite ring with diamonds will absolutely dazzle her ($6,325).
Stunning Stones
for Her Stocking
Rows of smoky topaz set in
sterling silver show off Tacori's
signature crescent design, in the
dazzling bracelet ($2,220)
