King Cole

Elizabeth Cole Three Coin Necklace, $280 (available at Elizabeth Cole).

If I were to place a classified ad right now, it would read SWFSJ - Single White Female Seeking Jewelry. I am officially on the prowl.

My latest find? Label Elizabeth Cole, discovered on a shopping trip to Intermix Saturdat morning. Designed by Stephanie Owen, this large collection of costume jewelry (named after her sister) feels very right now. From Lanvin and Balenciaga to Vera Wang, costume is one of the biggest accessories trends for fall. This largely affordable line offers ups bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings and even charms, mostly rendered in 24kt gold plate, enamel and Swarovski crystals. Motifs such as stars, coins, animals and Art Deco pop up again and again in various forms and clever incarnations.

Santa will be receiving a very, very long Christmas list this year.

Shooting Star Bracelet, $303; Gordian Knot Cuff, $293 (both available at Elizabeth Cole).
Esmeralda Crystal Mesh Cuff, $295 (available at Intermix).
