RING YOUR BELLE Diamonds and international travel? What more could a girl want? Nothing, if that woman is Jane Wasserman, senior director for Sidney Thomas Jewelers. Shiny baubles captured this Newton native's heart at an early age, so it was no coincidence she pursued a career in jewels. For this holiday season, Jane is particularly obsessed with the "uptown trendy meets ultimate glamour" vibe of a sapphire- and diamond-drenched Roberto Coin cocktail ring. "Dazzle everyone in your favorite little black dress. You'll look sensational at every turn." But any semiprecious bling-bling is special to Jane: "Jewelry is the perfect gift to tell someone, 'You're special to me.' And think about it—your shimmering present will be on their finger, wrist, or around their neck. So in a way, part of you will be 'present' with them each time they put it on. What a great message from you to the lucky one opening the box!" Multi-gemstone and diamond ring, Roberto Coin ($7,700).
