Gift-giving can be tricky, but I'm here to make it a little bit easier.
Here are my top picks for gifts this holiday season. I based these picks on what I saw in the shows I've done this year; market research, you could say.
One more thing about gifting Hamaila pieces: I am fairly flexible with exchanges. I understand people have different tastes and can be hard to predict. If the gift recipient wants to exchange a piece, I would be more than happy to accommodate.
Ordering deadline is December 5th for December 24th delivery.
Necklaces

Duo Chain ($65)
The surprise bestseller of this holiday season! This chain is half gold-fill and half sterling silver and comes in 16" or 18" lengths. Honestly, paperclip chains and layering necklaces are very of the moment and this is one is a crowd pleaser.

Bells of Arcosanti Lariat ($450)
This is the necklace that gets A LOT of attention at shows but it's more of an investment. It's a showstopper and can be worn in a plethora of ways. Win-win all around.
Earrings
- Staples -
Small Nabi Cube ($115-125)
These are the ones I see bought the most often as gifts out of all my jewelry. They are available in 14k gold, gold fill and sterling silver and perfect for architects, designers, geometry teachers and anyone who thinks out of the box.
Ayesha Studs ($73-93)
These are very classic, elegant studs and you really can't go wrong with these. I've seen these bought for mothers, siblings, friends and everyone in between. One of my favourite things about these is that they are all unique and one of a kind; I make them by hand and every single one is a random design.

Stairway Hoops ($360)
These unique hoops were inspired by the staircase in Crafts III at Arcosanti and they are a STATEMENT. These a bit heaver, but if you know someone who likes to dress up and stand out; these are the perfect thing to throw on for a glamorous evening.
New Gourna Dangle Earrings ($275)
These are another pair of really beautiful statement earrings. Again, they aren't as light as some of my other earrings, but they're wonderful for an evening out.
Rings
Rings can be tricky because of sizing. If you don't know the recipient's ring size, consider picking up a reusable ring sizer to gift with the ring. I am happy to offer complementary resizing for the first resizing.

Stacking rings ($25-110)
These hammered stacking rings are dainty, simple everyday rings. They are great as a first ring for a child, as toe rings, as part of a daily stack or to wear on their own. The possibilities are endless.

Bells of Arcosanti Ring ($65)
This is a solid ring. It's simple, but a little bit different, it can be worn two different ways (with the flat side on top or the rounded side on top), and it's sturdy enough to withstand daily wear and tear.
- Splurge -
Yellow Gold + Sterling Silver Square Ring ($620)
This is my personal favorite everyday ring. It's simple and elegant, the mix of metals is an unexpected element, and it can withstand everyday wear and tear. What's not to love?
