Jewelry gift guide: $250 – $500.

Ready to move into the big leagues of price range? At least, that’s how I think of this level for most people. But such things depend greatly on your life situation and preferences: any gift counts as big league at the right time and for the right person. I love receiving jewelry from people I care about – every time I wear it I’m reminded of the person who bought it for me and the fact that I matter to them.

In this level we move further into recognizable names and finer materials. To revisit the jewelry gift guide for another price range, please click here: under $50, $50–$100, $100 – $250.

Antique Victorian 14k Dragon Ring with Mine Cut Diamond, Recycled Gold Stick Pin ($465). I am head over heels for this teeny tiny dragon.

Suzanna Dai Fireworks Long Necklace ($470). This slays me. It’s an explosion of color and personality.

Kendra Scott Baguette Hourglass Earrings in Turquoise Magnesite ($375).

India Hick Swinging Bow and Arrow Pendant ($395). I had the honor of trying this beauty on at JCK Privé NY. It’s impossibly lovely – I kept expecting a fairy to appear and demand its bow and arrow back.

KiraKira Gold Turquoise and Pink Sapphire Kori Ring ($298).

Antique 10k gold and diamond cameo ring ($275). This jewelry is wearing jewelry. I’m into it.
