BIGGER ISN’T ALWAYS BETTER. So when you see a small package beautifully wrapped under the tree, it’s no wonder your eyes widen with excitement. As the saying goes, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend.ˮ But not all baubles are created equal, so make sure you work with a trusted jeweler who knows the four Cs as well as the trends and traditions when it comes to bling. To help you on your journey to find the perfect present your loved one will cherish for years to come, we visited some local jewelers with the crème de la crème in diamonds, gems, gold, platinum and other precious metals to make your holiday sparkle a little brighter.
“Gift-giving, especially for the woman in your life that has just about everything, may seem like a daunting task but you can’t go wrong with a timeless piece of jewelry. “Diamond jewelry is always a perfect gift because it never goes out of style.”

“There’s no doubt that something sparkly is sure to more than satisfy everyone on your gift list. What better way to show your nearest and dearest that you’re thinking of them. Pick a piece that elicits an emotion … when you know, you know. Ask yourself would this bring this person joy? Would this make them feel my love?”
