Party Favors • What makes a celebration successful? While the past may suggest boozy cocktails or an ornate venue, 2020 has demanded we find fresh, socially distant ways to get festive. That’s why we polled thousands of you on Instagram to understand what stunning jewelry you’re hoping to unwrap this holiday season. With the votes all in, we saw a strong interest in new, day-to-day classics that will last a lifetime, like a chunky chain necklace à la Charlotte Chesnais or The Last Line’s more delicate option.
