Unwrapped: The Coolest Jewelry Under $100

Bling bling, not broke broke

by Jenna Igneri

Tis officially the season for gift-giving. For us, that's a full month in which we'll be providing gift ideas for everyone on your list with our Unwrapped holiday gift guides. So make your holiday shopping a breeze this season, and let us help you find gifts for all the people in your life.

Look, we love our friends, but when the holidays come around, we'd prefer to not go broke buying everyone the perfect holiday gift. Can you really blame us?

With that in mind, we made gifting nice and easy for you this season: We rounded up the coolest baubles out there, all under $100. This way, you can treat your besties to the very best and keep your wallet intact.

From crystal-wielding rings to sculptural statement earrings that double as art, these pieces are as unique as they are affordable. And, we promise, there's a little something for everyone, so you don't have to succumb to gifting yet another cheap "BFF" puzzle charm necklace. Instead, check out our guide to the best jewelry under a hundred bucks, below.
