The Collector’s Gift Guide: For the One Who Can’t Get Enough Mettle
You know the one — the person who owns more Mettle by Abby pieces than they’ll admit, who can identify a gemstone at first glance, who wears their collection like a story.
Finding a gift for them might sound tricky… until you realize that every piece I make is one-of-a-kind. So yes — they absolutely can have another one.
1. Start With What’s New
Even the most seasoned collector doesn’t have this one yet. Start in New Arrivals and scroll from the top — that’s where the newest treasures live. These are the pieces that haven’t made it to anyone’s jewelry box yet, and there’s nothing collectors love more than being first to discover something rare.
2. Explore a New Gemstone
Maybe they already have labradorite, turquoise, or moss agate — but what about dendritic agate, opal, rose quartz, or amethyst? A new stone adds a fresh chapter to their collection. (Pro tip: collectors love when you notice what they already wear and add something complementary, not identical.)
3. A New Kind of Piece
If their collection is full of statement rings, think earrings. If they’re all about necklaces, maybe it’s time for a bracelet. It’s still their style — just in a form they haven’t explored yet.
4. A Set, Their Way
Collectors adore connection. Gift them a companion piece to something they already own — not a perfect match, but something that feels like it belongs with it. (That’s my favorite way to design, too — cohesive, but never identical.)
5. Something in a New Metal
If they love sterling silver, 14k rose gold might surprise them in the best way. A change in metal transforms the mood of a stone — and lets their collection evolve while still feeling like “them.”
6. Go Timeless (Their Future Favorite)
When in doubt, pick the piece that gives you that feeling — the one you can’t stop thinking about. Collectors trust their instincts, and you should, too.
No matter what you choose, you can’t go wrong — because every Mettle by Abby piece is one-of-a-kind, handcrafted, and ready to ship.
