Bundle of Lloyd

Your friends scored designer diaper bags and diamonds. Your push present was a jar of pickles and a velour jumpsuit with “juicy” across the ass.

Oh, boy, will Emily Lloyd deliver. The collection of handmade earrings and necklaces is the love child of Louisiana native and Dallas transplant Emily Navarro (Lloyd is her beloved grandmother’s name).

The former painter uses a colorful precious stone palette: rubies, emeralds, sapphires, turquoise, tourmaline, citrine, peridot, and garnets. But instead of making them obnoxiously loud (like some Southern mommas we know), Navarro keeps the looks grounded with simple settings (thin, layered strands loaded with tiny stones) and Asian hints (dark wood discs and 22-karat Buddha and Ganesh charms).

Since her materials aren’t cheap, prices ($45 to $4,000-plus) are far from the Vlasic variety.

Let your babydaddy eat it.
