Jewelry Gifts for the Nonconformist

If wearing your heart on your sleeve (or on your finger, or around your neck…) has never been your thing, then the cordate jewelry that’s been marketed to you in recent weeks probably doesn’t feel like it’s really for you. What might be? Pretty much anything from Cartier’s Clash collection. Beloved for its punk aesthetic, the line is characterized by bold spikes and pyramid-like studs—which are, by the magic of the Maison, crafted into rings, bangles, articulated bracelets, hoop earrings, and clavicle-skimming necklaces. Everything is edgy yet undeniably elegant, striking yet sophisticated, and best of all: distinctive. Just like you.
The Pieces
Whether you prefer a single or double row of spikes, the sparkle of diamonds or the luster of 18-karat gold, any one of these would make an epic gift.
