Okay boys, listen up. Jewelry shopping for ladies is hard. Very hard. But unique indie designers like Seattle-based Faris Du Graf make it a little easier. Like little pieces of architecture (she likens her modular pieces to pre-fab housing kits), each of Faris's stunning brass pieces are fashioned by hand. From small rings meant to be worn above the knuckle to fierce statement pieces like this "Armor" necklace ($310) or the "Lunar" double cuff ($150), each design feels bold. (Psst: Guys—you want your girl to feel bold!)
