Keep It in the Closet

Tig’s Closet Jewelry

Athens: laid-back breeding ground of Michael Stipe, Weaver D, and a gazillion floppy-haired singer/songwriters.

No surprise, then, that super-chill Tig’s Closet jewelry designer Titania Jordan was schooled there, too.

The UGA alum started designing in college, naming baubles after the friends and occasions that inspired them. (So cute.) Then she relocated to Atlanta. Blame the growing demand, blame a faster pace, but what began as a casual hobby evolved into a full-fledged line of pretty, unpretentious pieces.

With caramel stone necklaces, deep magenta chalcedony bracelets, and hot pink quartz and citrine earrings, finding jewelry you’ll covet will be a no-fuss endeavor.

Even if you did go to Tech.
