Without a place in fine jewelry, diamonds would suffer through a dirty and unsung existence trying to get mistaken for coal, and pearls would have to work part-time jobs as high-end ball bearings. Keep nature's glittering globes on a pretty pedestal with today's Groupon: for $95, you get $200 worth of fine custom jewelry at Cynthia Britt in Watertown.

Named a 2011 Best of Weddings pick by The Knot, Cynthia Britt oversees a shimmering surplus of hand-crafted and twinkling trinkets. Doll up lobes with the Britt pearl dangles on carved 14K white gold hoops (hoops $400, dangles $150; pieces sold separately), or make a flirty suggestion with the Britt Kiss silver pendant ($175). Cynthia Britt's assortment of sterling-silver good-luck charms come in styles such as the feather ($45), fan ($60), disk ($60), and jug ($60), which are all the objects needed to stage the Hillbilly Olympics. Cynthia Britt also crafts custom jewelry pieces, sketching designs based on the client’s hand and shaping wax models for trial and fit. Final models are fashioned in any desired metal-set, and feature your choice of gem and side salad.
