It may seem a bit early to be thinking about holiday accessories but let’s face it, if Starbucks starts playing Christmas music and serving up hot java in their themed to-go cups as early as November 1st, then we are already behind! With all of the options out there these days for finishing off a look, choice can often be overwhelming when looking for a simple, perfect piece to accessorize with your party dress. I say, let your hands do all the talking when it comes to completing your look this holiday season, with a statement cocktail ring that can stand alone as a show piece with any outfit. Try a dainty sparkler in rose gold, or a chunky, jewel toned piece of hardware like Stella & Dot’s Jules or Odyssey rings. Genuine gemstones, glass cabochons, and rhinestones are just a few design details that can really make all the difference when choosing that one-of-a-kind piece that suits you.

If you are in the market to shop local this year, take a peek at one of my current obsessions, a line out of Vancouver called Olive + Piper. Most items on the site are under $50, feminine and original. Limited quantities are offered, so you will also be sporting something super exclusive that all your friends will covet! But, if you are feeling generous, add a few more items to your cart and receive free standard shipping on orders over $60! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what just a ring or two can do to make that outfit pop!

1. Stella & Dot Jules Ring, $20
2. Stella & Dot Odyssey Ring
3. Olive + Piper Baby Bow Ring, $5
4. Pree Brulee Parisian Garden Ring, $15
5. Loren Hope, “On The Rocks” Oval Cocktail Ring in Dalmatian Jasper, $58
