Zac Posen @ Brooks Brothers: Gem-Drop Earrings

I’ve shopped at Brooks Brothers since college, but I must have missed the memo announcing that popular fashion designer Zac Posen is now the Brooks Brothers Women’s Collection Creative Director. No wonder the jewelry department has gone next-level!

These stunning Gem Drop Earrings will give any holiday outfit the Midas touch. Accented by gleaming 14K gold-plated coins, they’re made in the USA from imported materials. $78 at Brooks Brothers stores and brooksbrothers.com.

Georg Jensen Palladium Holiday Ornament/Pendant

This Palladium Top Star from legendary Danish jeweler Georg Jensen would make a wonderful holiday hostess gift. Designed by Flemming Eskildsen, an esteemed designer with Georg Jensen for 56 years, it has a spiral attachment so it can be affixed to a treetop.

The 6″ star also comes with a red silk ribbon if you prefer to hang it like a regular ornament. Or wear it on a long silver chain as a holiday pendant. $50 at Georg Jensen stores and georgjensen.com.

Long Crystal Drop Earrings by Kenneth Jay Lane

Every fashionable woman I know wants a pair of long crystal or rhinestone drop earrings this holiday season. These dazzlers are by the renowned costume jewelry, Kenneth Jay Lane.

Admittedly, they’re a splurge at $199…but they will never go out of style. Why not treat yourself to a pair and wear them with everything from jeans and a blazer to a strapless cocktail dress? At kennethjaylane.com.

Sex-and-the-City-Style Black Diamond Studs

Bring out her inner Carrie Bradshaw with these dramatic 1-Carat Black Diamond Studs. They’re only $199 at Macy’s, a must-stop on your Black Friday jewelry shopping spree. Bonus: Purchase a pair of White Diamond Cluster Earrings for $29.99 when you spend $50 on jewelry at Macy’s (ends 11/24).

(BTW, in case you’re wondering, Mr. Big gave Carrie a 5-Carat black diamond engagement ring designed by Itay Malkin.)

Monica Rich Kosann Jeweled Compact for Estee Lauder

Every year I include a bejeweled compact from Estee Lauder in one of OBJ’s holiday gift guides. My friends always thank me for these little treasures, especially because they’re refillable with Lauder’s translucent touch-up powder.

This year, luxury jewelry designer and storyteller Monica Rich Kosann has created four limited-edition mirrored compacts for the cosmetics giant. Each comes in an elegant presentation box, with a velvety pouch to keep the compact safe. $150, at better department stores, and esteelauder.com.

Anne Klein Vintage Lion Charm Bracelet

2018 is the 50th anniversary of the legendary American sportswear brand, Anne Klein. So to celebrate, ShopBazaar is offering a limited number of Klein’s signature lion logo designs for you to order online.

The one-of-a-kind vintage charm bracelet pictured here is crafted of chunky gold-plated links with six lion charms and a pendant watch. It’s $150 at shopbazaar.com.

Note: In case you missed last week’s OBJ, click here for more examples of the big chain link jewelry trend.

The Sold-Out Moschino X H&M Logo Hoops

If, like me, you were closed out of the recent Moschino X H&M launch, never fear. While the jewelry sold out in just a few days, intrepid entrepreneurs are selling pieces online. I found H&M’s $49.99 Moschino Gold-tone Logo Hoops on Poshmark for $100. I also love these Faux Pearl and Enamel Moschino Button Earrings, available now on 1stdibs for $135.

Happy hunting!
