Go bold and statement or sleek and minimalist: Every style type has something they’ll want to add to their collection. From gold-plated necklaces that work in an everyday layering situation to designer studs and a bejeweled beetle we can’t stop thinking about, these are picks where we’d never ask for the gift receipt.
