Venn Earrings The minimalist, affordable, Seattle-made adornments at Baleen make great small gifts and stocking stuffers.

Get them at Baleen, 6418 20th Ave. N., werbaleen@gmail.com
Necklace J Artist Alex Stanyon creates delicate, one-of-a-kind necklaces that demand a closer look. They are really more like mini-sculptures, made of cold-worked or carved glass and suspended on copper wire. Some designs are more minimalist than others, with smooth surfaces and silhouettes. The facets of the black glass element on Stanyon’s Necklace J make it literally and stylistically edgier—a cross between a blackberry and a hand grenade. $180. Find it at Vetri, 1404 First Ave., 667-9608
