Over the weekend, I started to think about my upcoming annual Yankee Swap, the holiday gift exchange I participate in with some good friends. It's a high pressure event--in a good, fun way--as the gifts exchanged are very thought out and well curated. My friends and I joke that it's the best present we receive all year! If last year is any indication, Anne Sisterson's jewelry is an excellent place to start the hunt, as more than a quarter of the Yankee Swap presents were sourced from this spot-on Beverly Hills-based designer. (Her baubles are sparkly but not crazy blingy, so that you can wear them day to night. And the prices are reasonable.) Here are my favorites--husband and fellow swappers, are you listening?--and they include these dazzling diamond and yellow gold , above; this under-$100 crystal and rose gold , this edgy pearl studded ; these spiked gold and diamond ; this delicate pave ; and these pretty, everyday-worthy branch .
