Behold the bauble.
Rare is the woman who doesn’t love to receive jewelry. Whether it’s a pricey piece from a significant other or a special statement-making accessory from a BFF, we’re thrilled to be handed a small box in a holiday gift exchange.
Jewelry is a present that is all about personal taste, so the No. 1 rule is to know the taste of the person you’re buying for.
If you aren’t sure, observe the sort of accessories she wears or take a peek inside her jewelry box. When it comes to jewelry, it’s generally not a good idea to stray too far from her usual style. A dainty-necklace gal may not be comfortable with a large, showy pendant.
For inspiration in the coming weeks before gift-giving crunch time, we’ve gathered a collection that includes fine gems, whimsical adornments and bold, chunky embellishments to suit all tastes and gift budgets.
