Holy Trinity Choker by Coutorture

Speaking personally as someone who owns Coutorture earrings, the incredible pieces you’ll find through this independent designer are the most stunning out there, period.

They’re shiny, surprisingly lightweight considering their ornate appearance, and they have a rare form that utilizes skulls, wings, gems, heart shapes, and immaculate detailing to create jewelry that is at once regal, bold, punk as Hell, and perfect for the wearer with a personality to match. Bonus: No two pieces are identical due to their hand-crafted nature!

Browse the site to find similar pieces in gold and pink gold, as well. They’re sure to please any partner who thinks they already have it all.

Raven Talon Rosecut Garnet

Machinations makes some of our favorite local jewelry in the New York area, but the appeal of these pieces stretches far and wide to include anyone with even an inkling of an interest in historical context or rustic beauty.

“As a talking bird,” Machinations write of the piece, “the raven also represents prophecy and insight. Ravens in stories often act as psychopomps, connecting the material world with the world of spirits.” Garnets represent love, loyalty, and commitment, so buy this for someone you want to keep around long-term who deserves your undying devotion–and a little spoiling.
