Jewelry is large and in-charge for Fall 2010, but with Gold prices making an all-time high of about $1,375 per ounce, the only option for most of us is costume jewelry!  Lionette–by Noa Sade and Vanessa Lee–has impressed me lately, with super-modern designs are available at amazingly affordable prices.

The Niya (photo above) is one of Lionette’s best-selling designs.  This 14kt gold-plated multi-layered chain link necklace will be the focal point of any outfit.  The shortest chain of this multi-tiered design is a choker-length 12″ and the longest is 18″.  The overall look can be lengthened with the included 9″ extension (as pictured).  Retail price is $175.

The Ariel necklace is another beautiful option, though more understated.  A beautiful brown quartz briolette stone dangles from an elegant 14kt gold vermeil diamond-cut chain that is 16″ long.   Retail price is $168.
