The holidays are almost here. You’ve made your list and checked it twice. Everyone seems to be covered ... except you!

If you’re building a capsule jewelry wardrobe like we are, you probably have a few jewelry items on your holiday gift list. We asked five big names in jewelry what their must-have jewelry picks are and they did not disappoint!

Customizing your own unique piece of jewelry sounds expensive, right?

It can be if you're starting from scratch. But if you use a couple pieces you already own but don't really wear, it can be inexpensive (and fun) to combine those into something totally new.

One of our own had a great experience creating a unique piece out of recycled jewelry.

While September's birthstone can take on any color other than red, sapphires are most recognizable in their trademark shades of blue.

Famous sapphires range from the Heart of the Ocean necklace featured in The Titanic to Princess Diana’s (and now Princess Kate’s) oval sapphire engagement ring.

The originals may be unattainable, but we found some beautiful sapphire jewelry you can call your own.

With its vivid spring green color, combining peridot – the birthstone for August – with nature motifs is only, well, natural.

Check out this collection of fine peridot jewelry. Each piece is designed with nature in mind – a double whammy effect since peridot is believed to ease stress, just as nature tends to.

Sure, it's fun to peruse photo galleries of all the beautiful jewelry at this year's Academy Awards. But these three blogs put their own unique spin on reviewing 2015's Oscar jewelry, and we are loving it.
