Nothing to wear to your holiday parties? Don’t fret! A great piece of jewelry can transform any look, whether you’re recycling an old LBD or accessorizing a brand-new party dress. This season, a pair of major earrings will be your hero piece, and we’ve found the best ones for less than $250—all the better to treat yourself at the height of gift-giving season without blowing your budget.

Kendra Scott’s jewel-tone hoops feel like an upgrade on your everyday pair, and Roxanne Assoulin’s crystal drops would surely be a hit at a New Year’s Eve party. And while Eye M by Ileana Makri’s earrings are simple enough to wear to the office, they’d be extra-elegant with a festive dress. Here, shop 23 of the best earrings, starting at just $55—including plenty of gems you’ll wear long after the holidays are over.
