I have been a fan of Alexis Bittar jewelry for a while, picking up discounted pieces from Gilt Group whenever I can. If you aren’t familiar with the line, check out the Alexis Bittar collection over at Neiman Marcus. Their crystal bangles are to die for, adding just the right amount of glitz for the holiday season. Ranging in priced from $225 to $425, these four bangles feature 18k plated yellow gold and sparkling Swarovski crystals. Each bracelet has a hinged, magnetic closure, making it easy to put on and take off. Image: Neiman Marcus My personal favorite of the four is the Mosaic Matte Gold Bangle (second from the bottom). It happens to be the most expensive, but all four of these crystal bangles are gorgeous. Check out more Aleixis... [Read more]
