GIVE
The Project Zero Pendant Who would not adore receiving this gorgeous Project Zero Pendant?  A gift that also gives back!

The Upper Arm Bangle -I remember my bohemian mother wearing a gold arm band on her tanned arm and coveting it as a girl. And I love the simplicity of the Bolsa in black-this KC sexy statement piece is the perfect go-everywhere and go-with-everything bag.

HOST/HOSTESS GIFT
The Tissue Ring. I have one of these (in silver) and love it! This chic Tissue Ring elevates the lowly tissue box into a minimalist work of art.

 

 

 

 

Alison Ross Green

 

GIVE
Girona Wrist Wrap. Always loved Kendall’s leather bracelets. Natural, unique , and a very wearable gift Or key chains -Kendall makes the best designs!

RECEIVE
The Girona Franja in black or brown leather. LOVE a little fringe!

HOST/HOSTESS GIFT
LOVE the Artemisa Cuff for a hostess. It reminds me of the artist Artemisia Gentileschi showing at the National Gallery through late January 2021– an extraordinary female painter of the 17th C. I love that it's called Artemisa! An armour cuff to protect which is what Artemisia did to thrive in career as a female 17th C artist. I would like to receive this as well! And the Joseph Koudelka Gypsies Book for a host. I love his images and this book looks stunning! Two of my sons are talented photographers and I think this would also inspire them.
