12 gorgeous holiday jewelry picks for less than $50
As mamas, sometimes the only sparkle we get to wear with any real regularity is what sticks to our shirts from our kids' glitter-and-glue projects. And while we obviously love our kiddos' creations, it's nice to have some purposefully placed glitter
every once in a while...like the holidays! We love these beautiful baubles--holiday jewelry that's sparkly, fun, and all costs less than $50.

[DON'T MISS AN AWESOME JEWELRY GIVEAWAY (WORTH MORE THAN $50!) AFTER THE JUMP]
Proof that holiday jewelry need not reference the snowman pin your great-aunt Maude wears to Christmas dinner every year: this
It Girl Collar from
Baublebar, a fun take on one of this season's hottest trends. ($36).
I love this
Star Gazer Ring ($28) from
Top Shop, which is as close to taking the star off the top of the tree and wrapping it around your finger. Only much prettier. And infinitely more comfortable.
How lovely is the
Rose Disco Cuff at
Baublebar?
So lovely. And it's $52--but you get $10 off if you sign up for Baublebar's newsletter, so if ever there was a perfect time to become a subscriber, this is it.
If simple, shiny gold hoops are good... then
a whole bunch of simple, shiny gold hoops--like these
Quinn Earrings from
Charm & Chain--must be better, right? Yes. Especially when they're on sale for $44. And this is a shop where not much is under $50. Grab them while you can.
Also at Charm & Chain, a big, colorful
crystal cocktail ring in three different colors. Any of them will make a little black dress sexily festive. Or festively sexy? (On sale for $35!)
Just in case you think "red and gold" can only equal "fancy wrapping paper," these
ruby drop earrings from
Baublebar ($26) prove that the colors can get fancy in a very wearable (and very pretty) way.
Love this
two-tone swirly ring from
Max and Chloe
($40)--with all that shiny gold and cubic zirconias, it's like it has
double the sparkle. And it's just enough of a conversation piece that it
could give you something to talk about at any awkward holiday party.
And you just
know there will be at least one of those.

I absolutely adore the rich, shiny color in these Anne Koplik drop earings designed exclusively for
Ideeli ($39.99), and found in their Swarovski Elements Sale. Use
CMP's membership link, which will give you access if you're not already a member.
If you want something festive but not too flashy, the black leather on these
House of Harlow sunburst button earrings by Nicole Richie (at
Nordstrom for $30) adds an unexpected--and undoubtedly cool--edge to shiny gold.
Ooh, these
mod glitter bracelets from Betsey Johnson at
Zappos ($40 for the pair) are a fun way to add those "pops of color" that magazines always talk about.
Every mama needs a pair of statement earrings--especially when that statement is "I'm exceedingly fabulous." These
pavé drop earrings at
Piperlime ($34) say it pretty nicely, don't you think?
