I must be somewhat difficult to shop for, because over time, I’ve amassed a stockpile of gift certificates to various places. Today, I attempted to use one up to Henri Bendel.
The Goal: to get simple, edgy stud earrings. (since my hair has been shorter, I’ve not been rocking earrings as much, so wanted something small)
But then I spied THIS specimen of fabulosity, by Dannijo:

HO MY GAH.
Technically, this is 2 necklaces merchandized together, but according to the Dannijo Website, the one that I’m swooning about is called the Cosima:

But it came with a hefty pricetag: $595. OUCH.
(definitely not enough on my gift card for that one!)
But I can still swoon.
I am sure you could find multiple uses for this to justify the price tag, such a self defense weapon. I see you swinging this above your head and roaring a warning to evil doers!
Not sure if they are exactly what you’re looking for, but the “classic pyramid stud earring” by Bing Bang are great. They come in a variety of finishes and are on Gilt Group today. Normally $95 in Barneys Co-op but $50 on Gilt.
OMG Ellen! Thank you!! That’s JUST the kind of thing I was looking for!
