We love unwrapping sparkling, colorful, fun jewelry. Perfect little packages that pack a lot of joy. Independent shops offer a wide variety of jewelry, from fun and inexpensive to investment vintage and fine jewelry pieces. For many this year’s holiday shopping will be mainly online. That doesn’t mean we can’t shop from our favorite small, independent shops. This is our shop independent jewelry gift guide, a roundup of some of our favorite pieces from some of our favorite shops.
