Jewelry You’ll Have (and Wear) Forever
The goop ethos of buying fewer, better things is perhaps never more relevant than in the jewelry box. When you invest in a quality piece—say, diamond-encrusted hoops or a sleek gold band—and take good care of it, it should last lifetimes (good news for the grandkids). To that end, we’ve rounded up five kinds of outfit-finishers worth their weight in gold.
P.S. Valentine’s Day is less than a month away. If this story finds its way into your significant other’s inbox, so be it.
