2016 Gift Guide: Jewelry & Accessories

Out fondness for jewelry is pretty obvious. I mean, we created a sister site, Adorn Milk, where we sell all kinds of modern jewelry that we obsess over. That said, jewelry is that added something we put on in the morning that elevates our outfits, and sometimes our moods. That’s why receiving jewelry as a gift is pretty special. It doesn’t have to be super expensive for us to love it and to love how it makes us feel when we wear it. So, we rounded up some favorite pieces of jewelry, plus a few accessories, that we’d love to have in our own collection.
