When you're bundled up to the nines, it's easy to overlook jewelry, but that would be a wardrobe mistake (if you love to wear jewelry anyway). The key to choosing jewelry in the

I also gravitate toward festive jewelry this time of year that's a bit fancier than what I'd wear in, say, July. That said, you don't have to spend a lot of money on your winter jewelry. But if you do splurge a bit, it'll be a worthy one if it's a piece you can wear over and over.

Below, I've compiled some of my favorite winter jewelry pieces, all of which are under $500 (well, almost) and will easily make whatever you're wearing look more expensive. That's because they look luxe and elevated on their own, which rubs off on your look as a whole. Scroll on to shop the selection of eye candy that'll take your winter wardrobe to the next level.
