Gorgeous, accessible jewelry that makes a statement.
Jewelry purveyor GLDN has become a sought-after brand for its chic, surprising takes on classic designs — so anyone on the hunt for the perfect V-Day gift needs to know about its latest collection, a collab with pop-rock duo Ally & AJ. Crafted with luxe materials in delicate silhouettes that’ll stand the test of time (and last way longer than a box of chocolates), a gift from this collab is virtually guaranteed to impress the lucky recipient. Order one of the “Ready to Ship” pieces by midnight on February 4, and your gift will arrive by Valentine’s Day *breathes sigh of relief*.
California-inspired jewelry that makes the most meaningful gift
Place has always been a sort of guiding light for GLDN; the brand custom-crafts much of its pieces in its Connor, Washington studio. A collaboration with Ally & AJ makes total sense, as it combines the brand’s customary high-quality craftsmanship with inspiration from Ally & AJ’s history. You’ll find influence from the artists’ home state of California, and their sense of family — they’re sisters as well as creative collaborators — along with high-quality materials and designs that bring a sense of place and connection. Like a gorgeous blue lapis lazuli ring to evoke the state’s oceans, or a friendship necklace that speaks to the duo’s strong bond. The collection features a selection of rings, bracelets, charms, and necklaces — so you can find the perfect gift .

A ring featuring stunning lapis lazuli
The hero feature of this ring: stunning deep blue lapis lazuli, inspired by the color of the California ocean. Organically shaped, the stone is set in a band crafted from sterling silver thickly layered with 14-karat gold vermeil. A luxe piece anyone would keep forever, this will look incredible whether worn singly or stacked — so it’ll work for both minimalists and maximalists.

A Western-inspired bolo necklace set with gleaming abalone
Western-inspired designs are having a major moment right now, and this bolo necklace samples the trend — but thanks to the dainty design, it never feels costume-y. The chain is crafted from 14-karat gold vermeil, and set with gleaming, organically shaped abalone. Tiny and glittering, a lab-grown Blue Spinel adds a delicate finishing touch.
- Available colors: 2
Dangly earrings set with a gorgeous combo of gemstones
It’s all about contrast with these push-back earrings; the dangly design features a mix of farm-raised abalone, aquamarine, yellow citrine, and water sapphire. Set in 14-karat gold vermeil, the colors play off one another beautifully, enhanced by the contrasting shapes — delicate yet statement-making.

A luxe poppy-emblazoned bandana you can style like jewelry
Scarves are having a major moment, so this bandana will delight the fashion-conscious. Crafted from a luxe blend of cotton and silk, the muted blue square is emblazoned with pretty poppies (to channel the artists’ beloved home state). It can be tied around the neck, a ponytail, or a handbag — a gorgeous option for anyone who loves options.

An abalone ring that makes beautiful use of asymmetry
Set in gleaming 14-karat gold vermeil, this ring features an abalone that’s not quite round, not quite square — a one-of-a-kind look that’s amplified by two lab-grown blue spinels, each in a different size and shape. Asymmetry at its most beautiful, the design still feels perfectly balanced.
- Available sizes: 4 — 9

Dainty flower-shaped earrings that’ll be a jewelry go-to
Crafted from real 14-karat gold vermeil, these delicate poppy-shaped earrings are guaranteed to be a jewelry go-to. Designed with a thread-the-needle back, the silhouette is subtle and simple — so they won’t overwhelm a daytime look, and they’ll be easy to pair with other accessories when an evening ensemble is in order.
