9 Affordable Ways to Give Bling This Holiday
One of the unwritten rules of gift giving? Jewelry never goes out of style. Whether earrings, rings, necklaces, or bracelets, that little bit of adornment encapsulates everything a gift should be: an added sparkle to life. But as is with most gifts made of precious metals, the challenge in giving jewelry lies in finding gorgeous baubles that won’t break the bank. Which leads us to Pandora, the widely-loved jewelry maker that serves up designs in silver, gold, and its trademark high-shine and rose-pink finishes. Oh, and its offerings take the financial sting out of giving jewelry.
