If you have women on your holiday shopping list, you can’t go wrong with buying them a piece of contemporary jewelry. Fashionable women know that adding modern jewelry is one of the easiest ways to perk up an outfit. Right now, bold gold jewelry with a nod to the 80’s is everywhere. Chain necklaces and bracelets, including ones with initial pendants, toggle closures, chunky designs, and paperclip styles, are on-trend. Layering jewelry and hoop earrings of all sizes continue to be popular. There is something for everyone on your list (maybe even yourself) in my top pics for earrings, bracelets and necklaces starting at only $18.
