“Finisher’s jewelry is part of a movement in retail and in events — that you don’t need to look and feel like a tomboy if you’re an athlete,” said Paula Harkin, a race director and specialty store owner.
Though Nike was among the first to dole out jewels instead of medals, the idea is catching on, this year alone winners were given a variety of accessories from dainty Tiffany sterling silver pendants to silver charms on leather cord bracelets.
