Most people need a good reason to buy a divine new piece of jewelry (a significant birthday, a wedding anniversary, a graduation). But, darlings, why wait? We all deserve something special. That’s why Julie Gilbert and Renee Wilson opened Bijoux, with pieces ranging from $50 (update last year’s suit with the perfect costume pin) to $50,000 (forgive your husband for that unfortunate lapse in sanity with that restaurant hostess in New York). Choose from estate jewelry, antique diamonds, contemporary designs and even pieces by local artists like Lauren Schott. Bijoux also offers repairs, consignments, jewelry lectures and Richard Hoff is on hand to do his fabulous platinum work. Don’t miss: Savvy simply can’t resist the butterfly brooch featuring 50 carats of blue and yellow sapphires and five carats of diamonds.
