Christmas Crystal Gifts

For December. Red, green, gold and winter white — the palette, not a claim that any stone belongs to Christmas, because none does.

The range runs from $14.99, which is deliberate: office gift exchanges are the single most common Christmas crystal purchase and they run on fixed budgets. Under $25 you get real natural stone — chip bracelets and entry-level 8mm strands — not a lesser grade of it.

Snowflake obsidian is here because the grey-white cristobalite pattern in the volcanic glass looks like snow, not because it means anything seasonal. Everything is natural, never dyed, and set in 925 sterling silver. The Christmas guide covers colours, budgets and the order-by dates for a 25 December delivery.
