The Look for Less: Jamie Joseph Starfish Pendant



undefined


This delicate Jamie Joseph Starfish pendant with diamonds would make a stunning addition to one's "daily wear" jewelry collection, but with a cost of $2,720 at Ylang 23, it's not something that falls within most people's budgets. Jamie Joseph counts Naomi Watts, Kate Beckinsale and Cameron Diaz among her fans, and sells her lovely creations at fine stores such as Bergdorf Goodman in New York.



Martin + Osa at ShopStyle


Here's a great alternative that would make a spectacular Mother's Day gift, too! This Starfish Pendant Necklace designed by Catherine Weitzman captures the same whimsical spirit of the pricier necklace at a fraction of the cost. It's made of 18k gold-plated sterling silver, and can be yours for $89.50 from Martin + Osa.
