4 Sonoma Finds That Will Make You Sparkle This Holiday Season
From shimmering purses to glittering gemstones, these Sonoma finds will put you firmly in the festive zone.
Star Bright: Use this dazzling purse to cap off your shimmery formal wear or to dress up a casual outfit. This hand-beaded purse by Mary Frances enlivens your tired-from-shopping ensemble so you can head to the holiday party in satisfying levels of sparkle. $168, Bella Vita Sonoma, 457 First Street West, Sonoma, 707-935-8206, bellavitasonoma.com
Crystal Clarity: Nothing sparkles quite like a glass of bubbly, unless of course that glass is made of crystal. In that case it catches the light brilliantly. No need to improve on a classic, except that these “Soho” flutes by Reed & Barton are minimally faceted to accentuate the shape and give a contemporary feel. $75.95/set of four, Wine Hardware, 536 Broadway, Sonoma, 707-939-1694, winehardwaresonoma.com
Sparkling Gemstone: Sparkle through the season or give this as a special gift. This rose cut sapphire has an earthy brown hue and is embellished with both raw cut and champagne diamonds. Exquisite, yet understated, for a nature-inspired shimmer, this gorgeous piece is handcrafted by artisan jeweler Robindira of Petaluma. $1300, Robindira Unsworth Boutique, 115 Petaluma Blvd N, Petaluma, 707-773-3147, Robindira Unsworth Home, 119 Kentucky St., Petaluma, 707-789-6495, robindira.com
Bag of Gold: All that glitters is not gold, but if it’s paper, then it’s really quite novel. This “cultivated” paper bag is waterproof and has the feel of leather. Fill it with holiday cookies or baubles or even a mini pine tree. Use it as decorative piece or give it as a gift (if you can stand parting with it). $26 (med), $32 (large), Stink, 126 Kentucky St., Petaluma, 707-773-0525.
