Andrei Duman Gallery There is such a terrific

collection at Manya—from fine jewelry to hip, edgy pieces to one-of-a-kind designs—many of which are created by the couple that owns the boutique. As you can see, I adore rose gold. It lends a certain sophistication to jewelry, whether an elegant diamond ring or a handsome Swiss watch.

There is nothing that warms me up like a pair of Uggs. I love coming home and diving into my sweats and Uggs—it automatically puts me in relax mode. I’m drawn to the classic color of this pair, and the

wooden buttons give it a fun, sporty vibe.

Stanley Silver

The Valley-based artist Stanley Silver embodies Cali-fornia lifestyle and culture—from his pieces depicting iconic northern California surf spots (three are on display at San Francisco 49ers’ Levi’s Stadium) to those that capture the passion of athletes. This piece, “Bear Flag Revolt,” showcases Stanley’s unique way of using oil paint to achieve captivating texture and layering. The more you look, the more you see.

Strategically placed, Buddhas can be inspiring accents for home or garden. This teal ceramic one can add a dash of

color to a room or a sense of whimsy tucked in

flowerbeds.

Oaks and Meadows

Blue is my favorite color, so I am immediately drawn to ginger jars. This particular one, a modern take on the Ming style, is hand-painted with a graceful plum blossom motif.
