This is our first-ever Design*Sponge jewelry gift guide, which is a little surprising since we’re pretty much jewelry fiends over here. And jewelry is actually one of my favorite things to give (and receive!). It’s personal, fun and a little frivolous, like all the best gifts. I’ve spent weeks “shopping” for jewelry for this guide, and I’ve narrowed down my big list of jewelry finds to my 50 favorites. If you have an appetite for more, I’m adding those that didn’t make the cut to our Gift Guide Outtakes board on Pinterest. — Amy Azzarito

This is a wonderful collection! Merry Christmas to myself!
Great collection! I love that “Love” gold ring, too bad it’s $350 :(

This is such a beautiful collection! Did you by chance come across any stunning “urn” jewelry in your searches? My dad passed away this summer and was cremated. I am getting married next year and would love for him to be with me in some way. All the urn jewelry I’ve looked at has been horribly tacky. Thought it might be worth asking, since you’re a self-proclaimed jewelry fiend. :)
The links for #9 and #11 are reversed on the first image…
Lovely! On the first image the names and links are switched for #9 and #11.
Love the minerals selection, the colors in it are stunning!
So many gorgeous pieces. Wish I could wear a few!
All in credible pieces. I especially love the bangles!
these are all amazing, thanks so much for including my moon phase earrings!
Great guide! So many lovely things! The bracelet, #8 in the first section, is actually $65 when you go to the web site though, just FYI.
Thanks, Emma. I’ll update it.
Nice collections all are really cool especially the Heart shape bracelet just loved it.

Great guide, but wish that this gift guide included a curated Nickel-free collection for us allergy sufferers :)
