I am buying jewelry for all my girlfriends and nieces this year (hope they are not reading this). Everyone needs more accessories and who doesn’t love opening up a box of bling? Even if it isn’t fine jewelry bling, it can still be fabulous. And best of all, they’re a perfect fit for everyone on your list!! I have found exceptional Frugal Snob pieces this year and I am sure you will agree, you might even be surprised where I am finding some of it!!
Banana Republic Monogram Coiled Bib Necklace
My sister wore this one night and I hounded her about this until she finally revealed, reluctantly, that it is Banana Republic. Trust me, with a piece this amazing, there is no shame in that. Banana Republic has been doing fantastic jewelry for many seasons, but this looks like Oscar de la Renta!! Truly incredible in person, you will not be disappointed and either will your lucky gift recipient. For $150.
Ann Taylor Silver Pavé Four-Row Necklace
Yes, that’s right Ann Taylor!! Their jewelry collection is phenomenal, the designs are edgy, chic and amazingly affordable! This four-strand necklace of silver links, smoky faceted beads and pavé balls is $65.
Isharya Gypsy Moonstone Earrings
Chandelier earrings are dramatic and eye catching. Especially in moonstone and 18 carat gold plating. It was $175 and is now on sale at Net-a-Porter for $87.50
Horn Open Hoop Earrings by Asha by ADM
Horn jewelry is huge right now, it is a natural material so you get the interesting irregular striations but you aren’t paying fine jewelry prices. These Brazilian horn open hoops are a bit exotic but will be your go to earrings for everyday. An easy look to fit anyone’s style. At Vivre for $85.
Single Rosette Necklace by Nicole Romano
I love wearing a simple necklace sometimes, it really makes people stop and take a closer look. This Rosette necklace has so much interest and details for something so simple. I love the multiple rings symbolizing never-ending togetherness, the perfect sentiment for the season. At Vivre for $128.
Now we switch gears to a bold statement piece. Asymmetrical necklaces with multi-strands give boring outfits an instant fix. The Czech-glass stones are set open in the back for maximum impact. A Frugal buy that looks like a million bucks! At J. Crew for $135.
If you know someone who is a hand talker, you can stop looking because here is her gift. She might even be able to speak softer now that she is getting more attention with her hand! At J. Crew for $95.
Get flirty with this Leaf Pendant necklace. The length (22 1/2″) is great worn over a sweater or a v-neck tee shirt to give the bare torso something to look at (I don’t mean bare as in naked, you know what I mean). The wispy details are so great, think about its movement when you are walking! At Net-a-Porter for $120.
Kenneth Jay Lane Glass Pearl Flower Earrings
For the prim and proper girl on your list, this simple and pretty flower clip-on earrings with pearl embellishment is adorable and classy. Also a great choice for your mom and mother-in-law (just not both, never buy them the same things!!). At Net-a-Porter for $95.
