Jewelry by Gorjana & Dogeared Today on Gilt Fuse




Today's sales on Gilt Fuse include jewelry from Dogeared and Gorjana. Simple, unassuming charm necklaces and bracelets come with individual cards saying phrases like, "Reward yourself," "Apple of my eye" or "Love makes the world go 'round." With pieces starting at just $12, this is affordable jewelry friends will love (although I don't think you can get it delivered by Christmas unless you choose the overnight option), but you could keep these around for moments when you need a quick gift or way to say thank you.

Whether you've seen it in person or just browsed the collection online—which includes illusion tulle dresses, sheer cardigans, bow belts and lacy bikinis, ranging in price from $9.99 to $79.99—share YOUR thoughts on Rodarte for Target in the comments.
