Adorning your body with jewelry is a more stylish display of refinement than drying dishes with $50 bills or wearing a tuxedo made entirely of caviar. Forego a large cash withdrawal with today's Groupon: for $50, you get $150 toward jewelry at Jaffe Jewelers.

Jaffe Jewelers owner Lawrence Jaffe taps his wide range of worldwide contacts to supply his storefront with a wide range of exotic diamonds, gemstones, and jewelry from designers including Abel & Zimmermann, Giorgio Visconti, and Jewels by Star. Silver medalist in the Best Jewelry Store category of Active Dayton’s reader poll, the store houses wearables ranging from the affordable Scott Kay sterling and gemstone line ($450+) to more high-end choices. Carlos Bere earrings sparkle with the help of full-cut diamonds set in 18-karat white gold ($1,450), with gems calibrated for dazzling onlookers or flashing Morse code messages to potential mates. Marvel at a teardrop-shaped Fana pendant adorned with 157 brilliant-cut diamonds ($5,810), or accessorize glamorous hands with a diamond-encrusted 18-karat gold ring ($3,120). The store also houses such ultra-luxurious pieces as the Luca Carati white-and-rose-gold soccer pendant, speckled with diamonds that add grace, charm, and +3 to dexterity ($10,195).
