Sparkle This Holiday Season

Although I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to certain holiday rituals - there's no Christmas music or tree in our house until at least December 1st - - there's no denying that the holiday season is drawing near. 

One of my favorite things about this festive time of year is the extra excuse to eat, drink and be merry, and what better reason to wear something sparkly than a holiday party? Even if your version of dressing up is more knit sweater and jeans than sequin cocktail dress, you can elevate any outfit with a few key pieces of jewellery.

Here are a few of our top picks for the upcoming season:

1. Lance Earrings in Labradorite - $65: Edgy spikes and iridescent labradorite are the perfect accompaniment to an LBD.

2. Elements Necklace in Moonstone - $110: We think a jewel-toned, silk blouse will set the stage for this long, moonstone necklace. (Also available in garnet, here.)

3. Defender Earrings - $75: These earrings pack some serious punch - especially with a pretty holiday up-do.

4. Moreno Necklace in Labradorite - $95: This necklace is the perfect statement piece for a plunging neckline. (Also available in garnet, here.)

5 & 6. Ignite Earrings ($78) & Bracelet ($65): Wear these little pretties for a festive look that's always refined, and never (ever) tacky. Sorry, Auntie Anne - those light-up Christmas tree earrings just aren't our style.

7. Fortress Necklace in Pyrite - $95: Silver and pyrite fringe? Basic black will get a holiday boost with the addition of this fun pendant necklace. (Available in garnet, here.)
