Jeanine Payer jewellery

 
I'm a hopeless romantic, but with very particular taste. Instead of a heart-holding teddy bear, I'd choose Jeanine Payer's beautifully engraved jewellery as a gift. Her jewellery is well-crafted in gold and silver with semi-precious stones, and her designs are chic and fluid. However, her pieces will stand the test of time because of the quotes she hand-engraves on her pieces, from a diverse group of people such as Wordsworth, J.M. Barrie, Zola and Eleanor Roosevelt. And because Payer's jewellery isn't named after the latest It-girl, you don't have to wear something that reminds you that you owned Uggs. Check out the 'Marilyn' bracelet ($935) and the 'Wolfgang' ring ($420), pictured here with the 'Abbey' earrings ($430). [Rina Hiranand]
