Speaking as a Texas girl, I must confess that the common mindset here is “American by birth, Texan by the grace of God“.  So with that in mind, what better Christmas gift could there be than a state necklace from Maya Brenner?

State necklaces from Maya Brenner.

The necklaces are available in 14k gold or sterling silver and feature 16″ chains and have the outline of the state of your choice.   For enhanced personalization, you can add a small diamond mounted anywhere you choose along the outline (sucks for those in Austin but cool for those of us in Dallas or Houston).

The pieces are available in 14K gold or sterling silver, with or without the small diamond. The Texas necklace shown at sells for $300 and is a favorite with Texas natives Eva Longoria Parker and Jessica Simpson.

Every pampered lady fancies a diamond watch, but once this one becomes well known, it will be the heartbreak of many a mans’ wallet.

The Graff literally bulldozes down the world of luxury as you just cannot get a more diamond watch than this timepiece.

Fashioned in 18k white gold with 176 diamonds on the case and 94 on the bracelet, it is chock full at 59 carats of dazzle.

The stones in this timepiece are trilliant and trapeze cuts which provides a very modern yet angular shape.    The dial of the watch isn’t the easiest in  the world to read; however, the emerald which is the only non-diamond on the watch marks the 12 o’clock hour.
