If you’re looking for a meaningful Christmas present (or a belated Hanukkah gift) for a loved one or yourself, I’ve got some fresh jewelry options for you!<\/p>\n

For responsibly sourced jewelry that gives back to mining communities in Tanzania and Kenya, check out the ANZA PURE x Wendy Brandes<\/a> rough-gemstone designs in 18K gold that I created specially for Robert Goodman Jewelers<\/a> in Zionsville, Indiana. Look how delicious these spessartite garnet studs are!<\/p>\n

Of course, you don’t have to be in Indiana to buy these. Bob and his team will be happy to help you from afar if you holla at them<\/a>. In addition to the earrings, Bob has three of my ANZA PURE necklaces. You know how fashion people are always talking about wearing a “pop of color”? This is what they mean.<\/p>\n

Another ANZA PURE x Wendy Brandes piece has landed in Seattle at the ANZA Gems office<\/a>. This 16″ necklace features neon pink spinel and green grossular garnet.<\/p>\n

Along with the necklace, I finally sent along the one-of-a-kind 18K rose gold ring I made for ANZA’s main collection last December, shortly before the world went crazy<\/a>. The center stone is a rare orange-y pink Padparadscha sapphire weighing 1.54 carats, which is surrounded by cabochon-cut Paraiba tourmaline and diamond accents. Can you blame me for wanting to keep it in New York?<\/p>\n

Monica Stephenson<\/a>, the founder of ANZA Gems, modeled it for the ‘Gram, and now I bet she’ll be reluctant to part with it too.<\/p>\n

It’s kinda perfect for her.<\/p><\/div><\/center><\/p>\n

Speaking of Instagram, if you follow me there, you already know I did a limited revival of my 2017 NASTY necklaces in sterling silver in time for Election Day last month.<\/p>\n
