Dream Jewels: My Top Ten List For Ladies Necklaces Under $50 for 2012

Some of the prettiest necklaces look like they cost hundreds, but are priced for under fifty (some even less!).  I love wearing hearts and even doubling them up and wearing more than one piece at a time for a really pretty look.  Here are ten fresh looks I love for 2012.

Love Sex and The City? So glad its on reruns!  This necklace lets you relive Carrie’s NYC nights and its so cute and charming!  Of course, you should get it with your own name, and it will still have the same charm, yes?

The simple elegance of Amber, this piece has plenty of inclusions, which makes it look like the real deal (which it is!) and the chain is very nice.  A lovely piece for any lady.

Every woman needs a beautiful, feminine heart necklace in her collection.  I love the marcasite details on the bottom of this garnet one, it makes it very special.

An entire strand of fantastic black cultured freshwater pearls for only forty dollars!  Now that is a divine deal!  They are exquisite and are sure to pump up any ordinary dress or suit in your closet.

No one has to know its CZ  but you and me!  This looks so real!  Its a big set and it has great sparkle.  A very pretty piece that will go with anything you wear!

I just think this is too adorable for a Saturday night out and a great conversation piece!  A little martini glass necklace! How cute is this?

This piece was on Good Morning America…it looks like something J Lo might wear, or someone on a tropical Island or with a really rockin bikini.  I would rock it with a mini skirt and white tank on a cruise.  Love it.  Maybe with a maxi dress even.  It is a statement piece.  I would wear it by itself for sure, with gold eye shadow!

A gold mini Lotus necklace. Very zen. To new beginnings!  Love the warm tone to the gold, a rose quality to it.  Love it, its very special!

Make a wish! This looks great layered with other necklaces. If you caught the last Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition in 2011 (didn’t we all, smirk?) They layered down the models in lots of little necklaces like these in their suits and it was such a cute look. They each had a necklace with their name, see above, and about three others on, all tiny pendants.
