Holiday Jewellry for every price range

Holiday season is full of parties and chances to dress up. However, buying a new holiday party dress can be quite expensive and fill your closet with dresses that you only wear once a year. Instead of splurging this year on yet another fancy Christmas and NYE dress, why not spruce up one of your go-to dresses with some new jewellery? Accessorizing is the classic way to revamp that old LBD, or to glam-up semi-formal clothes into something special. Since Christmas parties tend to be more formal affairs, keep your jewellery classic. Choose warm materials like golds, pearls, or rich jewel tones for an elegant, lady-like look. However, one can still go trendy with interesting shapes, and youthful details. Here are some samples of great holiday jewellery options for every price range:


Cheap:



Gimigliano necklace, AldoGimigliano necklace, Aldo, $15

First up is this delicately pretty necklace from Aldo. The warm gold colours look great on everyone and this piece is very unique with its multi-colored beads and dragonfly pendants. Pair with a deep-v black top to draw attention to your neck and collarbone.



I love how this cuff is such a statement piece: the chunky varying sizes of the stones and its multi-colored shine really draws the eye and adds pizazz. Perfectly coordinate this dress with a deep purple dress or top to feel like royalty.



Splurge:



Heart to Heart gold vermeil earrings, FNUE"Heart to Heart" gold vermeil earrings, FNUE for $95

Finally, a piece for the girly girls. These 18K gold vermeil earrings from FNUE would sweetly accent a high-collared black lace outfit. This new jewellery line by New York designer Halley Barney, FNUE (From Now Until Eternity) is a line of intricately handcrafted pieces made from sterling silver, 14Kt gold, gold vermeil, rose gold vermeil, and precious gemstones, making it well worth the price.



If all you've got to wear is black, then wear jewellery that will maximize the drama. These coolly elegant teardrop earrings from Anthropologie are made from vintage resin, gold-plated brass, and Swarovski crystals. Nothing could be more elegant!



Super splurge:
Early Gleam earrings, Anthropologie
Early Gleam earrings, Anthropologie for $152.01

These teardrop gold and clear resin earrings are totally reminiscent of cool icicles dripping from a snowy rooftop. Like icicles, there is a frosty beauty in these earrings that charms. Be sophisticated and on trend by wearing these earrings with anything gold and sequined.



He loves me ring, FNUE
"He loves me" ring, FNUE for $485

And for those lucky enough to have money to burn, this delicately wrought sterling silver ring features actual moving daisies, providing a unique distraction for your fingers during boring Christmas party speeches. This ring is a great match for most colours and styles, and is also a great piece for the everyday!


Whatever you decide to wear this holiday season, be sure to consider things beyond just clothing - think of jewellery too next time you want to look beautiful and luxurious!

Hmm, there's also this random jewelry booth in Oakridge Centre outside Lululemon and The Body Shop which is selling earrings and necklaces on sale for $30 or under.

A lot of clusters and charms.
