The holidays are almost here! This time of year, I love to support my favorite small businesses by doing most of my holiday shopping with them. If you’re like me and you want to shop local for your loved ones, Quicksilver’s got you covered! I’ve currently got the shop stocked with tons of designs in all shapes and sizes.

Not sure what to get your jewelry-loving friend or family member? Here are some of my recommendations!

Electroformed Rings
These pieces are truly one-of-a-kind -- just like your loved one! These rings have a natural, earthy look with a gorgeous raw stone that is small and comfortable enough to rock any day of the week. You can browse all of our electroformed pieces here, and I also have a birthstone guide if you’re looking to personalize your gift.

Sterling Silver Stackers
These rings are definitely some of our customer favorites! There’s something timeless about a gorgeous solitaire stone set in this lovely shiny silver. I might be biased, but I wear one of these every day, and it seriously looks great with any outfit. You can browse our Sterling Silver section to see everything available in-store, and most of these designs can also be made in custom sizes. If you need to set up a custom order in time for the holidays, let me know by Sunday, Dec. 1, so I can have your ring ready in time!

Multi-Stone Rings
These are perfect for that friend or family member who might want to wear a bolder statement piece! These multi-stone rings offer a little more bling while also being super comfortable to wear.

Coffee Bean Ring
For your caffeine-loving friend. This ring is the perfect quirky accessory that will make anyone smile! And there’s a real coffee bean inside these rings! I can make these in any size so if you’d like to make one for a holiday gift, let me know by Sunday, Dec. 1, so I can have your ring ready in time!

Dinosaurs
In that same vein, these dinosaur necklaces are our top seller, hands-down. They’re the perfect fun accessory, and I love wearing my own personal brontosaurus necklace as a statement piece with a big cozy sweater :) Click here to see the dinos I have available now, but I also have soooo many available for custom orders. Seriously. I have at least 100 dinosaur toys at my disposal for you to choose from. Just let me know by Sunday, Dec. 1, if you want one of these in time for the holidays!

Stackers
These rings are the perfect gift for any ring-lovers. They can be worn on their own for someone who might enjoy more minimalist jewelry, or they can accent another Quicksilver ring for someone who wants to zhuzh it up a little more. I can also make either this plain or peak band in any size, so just let me know by Sunday, Dec. 1, if you’d like one in time for the holidays!

Necklaces and Earrings
Figuring out your loved one’s ring size is always tricky, especially when you’re trying to keep it a surprise! While I have a guide to finding ring sizes, a necklace or a pair of stud earrings are great options without all the guesswork! My earrings are all made with electroformed copper, but the posts themselves are hypoallergenic titanium, so even the most sensitive of ears can comfortably rock every pair in the store.

Our necklace selection of the shop is also packed with a ton of designs, from smaller, simple pieces to larger statement pieces. Most of these necklaces come on a 24” chain unless otherwise specified in the listing, but I can also adjust the chain length to whatever you would like. Just let me know by Sunday, Dec. 1, so I can get your gift ready in time!

If you’re thinking about buying a Quicksilver piece for gift-giving this year, here are a few important dates to keep in mind!

I’ll be doing a storewide sale on Saturday, Nov. 30, for Small Business Saturday! I’ll share more details on this website and on my Instagram and Facebook pages once they’re finalized, but this would be a great opportunity to get some of your shopping done!
All custom orders need to be placed by Sunday, Dec. 1 so I have enough time to get your gifts ready!
For all my Ames and Des Moines friends in Iowa, I’ll be doing a pop-up shop at Valor & Violet in downtown Ames on Thursday, Dec. 5 from 4-7 p.m. Stop in and say hi or if you need to see any potential gifts in person any other time, my home studio is always open!
The last day to place orders and get them guaranteed in time for the holidays is Thursday, Dec. 12. Let’s be kind to our postal workers and give them enough time to deliver the influx of holiday mail!
If you’re in the Minneapolis area, I’ll be at Lakes & Legends Brewing Company downtown on Saturday, Dec. 14 from 12 - 5 p.m. as part of A Handmade Holiday Market. Feel free to stop by and see all these pieces in person! This will be your last chance to buy your favorite piece in the store before the holidays!

If you have any questions, you can always contact me here or on Instagram and Facebook. Thanks for supporting small businesses this holiday season!
