If it’s exorbitant and indulgent bauble-type gifts you seek, look no further than the children’s collection at Me & Ro, a luxe, trendy New York-based jewelry designer with a celebrity clientele that reads like Oprah’s address book.

Their collection of original designs integrates precious, semi-precious and rare stones like brown diamonds, rubies, multi-color sapphires, antique Tibetan coral and Brazilian opals, just to name a few, all created by carving in wax or metal, which are then cast in silver, gold and platinum with all stones set individually by hand.

An added bonus is Me & Ro’s commitment to using environmentally friendly resources and reducing the size of their carbon footprint, which means using recycled gold and supporting various charitable organizations.
