With the holiday season right around the corner, I wanted to dedicate some space to talking about a few of my favorite silversmiths on Instagram. All six of these women craft the most radiant masterpieces, and their jewelry would make the perfect gift for any loved one or for yourself (because you deserve it!) May their work shine love and light into your life and happy scrolling <3
