Jewel’s Gold

Everywhere you look, the holidays sparkle. Halls are decked with holly. Candles are burning low. And packages of every shape and size are wrapped in ribbons and bows.

And then there’s you. A sniffling, shivering mess bundled in layers of wool and fleece.

If only someone would release you from your thermal insulation, they would find you and your Joann Lysiak jewelry shining in festive glory.

Lysiak’s attention-grabbing necklaces and earrings will steal the spotlight from any stupid mistletoe. The appropriately named Golden Rings Around Her collection consists of 14-karat-gold-filled chains and hand-formed rings with wood beads painted a glistening gold. Layer a longer necklace (16-34 inches) with a shorter lariat or wrap a long chain around twice.

If baubles are more your thing, the Rock On collection mixes bold links with semiprecious stones like garnet and smoky topaz — a combo just right to show off your holiday spirit.

And much more attractive than that red nose.
