The Gentlemen's Stocking Edit:

If you thought Baroque Rocks could ever forget the menfolk, perish the very thought!! We realised, though that most of our Magpie missives are for the fairer ones of the human species, so what better moment than Christmas to redress the balance? With festive metallics commanding the mood — from cool, architectural Silver to the mellow glow of investment-grade Gold — there’s something here for every calibre of chap: the low tapered twerp teen to the discerning silver fox! Consider this your curated gateway to the kind of gifts that elevate rather than embellish.
First up, we have true Deakin & Francis craftsmanship shaken, not stirred: this articulated Sterling Silver Swizzle Stick pendant brings a festive twist to bacchanalian revelry! Oh, and do keep your eyes peeled — we’ll be adding a Gold, Glorious Gold version to the website soon!
 
Next, a trio of festive treasures: an Emerald-Eyed Articulated Turtle Pendant from the 1980s — a lucky talisman whose waggling flippers promise tide-turning energies; a 1977 Gold Ingot Pendant bringing pure, swaggering Seventies “Gold, Glorious Gold” to the season; and a Diamond-Eyed Bear Necklace from 1989, funky, chunky and altogether paw-some. Spark joy and seasoned sophistication!
Eschew the novelty Christmas knitwear and, for December’s diary, opt instead for cufflink couture. Choose between the 1980s Sterling Silver Onyx and Mother of Pearl power cufflinks or the 1995 Sterling Silver Oval Classics! Then add the 1977 Barked Ingot Necklace for a touch of insouciance, signalling Seventies smouldering swagger, or clip it to a keyring and revel in its quietly commanding weight.
For the cool, hoody-clad teen, add a little sartorial sway with a chunky silver necklace, the silver lining to all that attitude!!! Or for a touch of Ice Ice Baby go full star spangled spend with a sparkling zirconia-set Silver Dollar sign!! And if the Gen Z in question is more minimalist, a plain 925 Silver Dog Tag will certainly suffice – just add to a leather necklace!! A “tree-some” of pieces that fuse future heirloom appeal and may we say Magpies, a far more intelligent allocation of funds than the customary avalanche of Amazon vouchers!!!
And lastly, may we tempt you with a little objet de vertu in the form of a Silver Articulated Tortoise Pill Box dated for 1986. A talismanic tortoise guarding life’s little essentials (oooh and incidentally the ’80s championed a new form of assisted virtue in a distinctly blue hue!)!!!
Finally, Magpies, reprising our favourite festive maxim: Father Christmas is, naturally, fully invested in Baroque Rocks Stockings & Shares… And while we’re on the subject of savvy allocations, stay tuned for our annual Sybarite Sparklers – The Intelligent Investor Edit, currently winging its way in on a very well-loaded sleigh. Stay sparkling! |
