The holiday season is a wonderful time of year, but it often comes with some guesswork. Need some inspiration for holiday gifting? I have some ideas, which I’ll cover as a series. Jewelry is a popular gift, and there are several renowned artisans with studios here in Boulder. Whether you’re looking for something timeless and simple or bold and eye-catching, you can find pieces for every taste without leaving town. Here are a few of my favorite jewelers:
Todd Reed
Looking for one-of-a-kind jewelry or art pieces? Be sure to explore the artistry of Todd Reed. Works by this Boulder-based jeweler are undeniably exquisite, but also rooted in connection and respect for the craft. He uses sustainable, ethically-sourced materials for every piece, all hand-forged right here in Boulder. If you’ve been searching for an heirloom-quality gift, look no further.
The Woods Fine Jewelry
The Woods Fine Jewelry was founded by two sisters who grew up in Boulder. Surrounded by beauty since childhood, Shawn Hecox and Samantha Hitchcock developed a deep appreciation for organic beauty. Their love of nature shines through in their jewelry collections, which often features mixed metals, texture, layering, and gemstones. If you’re on the search for a great statement piece, you’ll want to check out this store.
Art + Soul
You’ll find more than just jewelry at Art + Soul, but this gallery is primarily known for its incredible selection of designer jewelry. The collections offered here are unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere, and each piece is hand-selected by owner Debbie Klein. Whether you’re on the search for something as special as an engagement ring or as versatile as diamond stud earrings, chances are you can find it here.
Walters & Hogsett Fine Jewelers
If you want to treat a special someone to true luxury, look no further than Walters & Hogsett Fine Jewelers. You’d never know that this prestigious name in jewelry comes from humble beginnings in Longmont more than 40 years ago, as the shop is now one of the top-ranked jewelers in our state. Walter & Hogsett is Boulder’s official Rolex dealer, and, of course, carries an excellent selection of carefully curated fine jewelry.
Cronin Jewelers
Cronin Jewelers has been providing Boulder with custom jewelry since 1979. If you have a vision in mind for your loved one, the team of artisans at Cronin can bring it to life and ensure that you’re thrilled with the results. For those who enjoy vintage pieces, there’s a stunning (and recently expanded) selection of antique and vintage jewelry here.
