Nearby at Satine, which Jones describes as "one-stop shopping" for its chic edit of designer labels, she finds lots of gift potential, particularly the Tsumori Chisato print scarves and Demitasse earrings modeled after antique spoons. There's evidently lots of tiffany jewelry self-gifting potential, too: She dwells on an Alexander McQueen clutch, a peacock-blue lined cape from the store's own label, and an asymmetrical evening bag by Sang A.
One thing Jones avoids as she shops is any echo tiffany necklaces of Mad Men's archly precise period style. The show has a way of haunting its cast members after hours, and during its hiatus until the third series goes into production, Jones is specifically refusing "sad housewife" roles, while some of the male cast members have grown heavy beards to escape their characters' clean-cut looks. On the subject of her costars, "Christina would love this!" Jones exclaims at the sight of a fish-shaped jug in the home store and cafe American Rag Cie on La Brea. (She's referring to Christina Hendricks, who plays the voluptuous Joan Holloway and adores anything with a piscine motif.) Square decorative china ashtrays also make great presents for her colleagues because the series' requirement of constant smoking, even if only of herbal cigarettes, has a tendency to make quitters relapse.

Jones's next appearance is in The Boat That Rocked, a comedy about an offshore British pirate radio station in the sixties, directed by Richard Curtis, who gave her a cameo as a sexy American good-time girl in 2003's Love Actually. But before then are the holidays. A shopping spree with Jones would not be complete without a stop at Wanna Buy a Watch, a store on Melrose that sells antique watches and jewelry, where she bought one of the rings she is wearing. Here she swoons over the European-cut diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds. "Whenever I get a job, I reward myself with something," she says. And tiffany rings then the ever-practical Jones informs me that she has left the store a list of engagement rings she likes, "so when the time happens, my boyfriend will know."

I 'd go into a candy store," says Emily Satloff, "and if there was a chocolate wrapped in colored foil--I didn't care if it was disgusting or delicious--I bought that chocolate!" Why, you wonder, would Satloff prefer the wrappers to the confections? She was experimenting with the eighteenth-century jeweler's technique of placing metallics behind gemstones or glass to enhance their color or brightness: A pink topaz, for example, would be simulated by setting a white topaz over pink foil, or a ruby by putting red foil behind paste. "In that era," Satloff explains, "jewelry was still quite an extravagance. It was hard to get stones, and even royalty would have enhanced theirs."
