Gifts

Small things that last: silver, leather goods, eyewear, belts and scent from independent boutiques.

Gifts feature small personal pieces such as sterling silver jewelry and leather card holders for women and men. Clean sculptural lines in black leather and cool silver give these pieces balance, united by a focus on solid metal and honest construction. Signet rings go back to ancient times, when people pressed them into wax to seal letters.

Tom Wood, founded in Oslo, made its name with signet rings, some topped with stone. Emanuele Bicocchi makes sterling silver chains and rings by hand in Tuscany. Chrome Hearts pairs gothic floral carvings with solid cast links shaped for daily wear.

Pendant necklaces, solid rings and smooth leather wallets pair naturally with a heavy wool coat, raw denim trousers or a simple knit. Due West in Toronto carries handmade silver from Emanuele Bicocchi and M.Cohen by MAOR, and Utopia adds Chrome Hearts and card holders from Goyard and Louis Vuitton.

Common questions

What makes jewelry suitable for gifts?
Solid sterling silver and durable leather pieces provide longevity because their surfaces develop character through daily wear. Choosing a clean band ring or a simple chain ensures easy pairing across different personal wardrobes.
How do you choose the right necklace length?
Shorter chains resting at the collarbone fit neatly over a crewneck knit or tuck inside an unbuttoned shirt. Longer pendant necklaces hang down across the chest and balance heavier outerwear like a tailored wool coat.
Which designers make durable silver rings?
Tom Wood makes signet rings in sterling silver, some set with stone or mother of pearl. Chrome Hearts designs ornate silver bands featuring carved cross motifs and heavy sculpted edges.
