Sparkly news we love: BaubleBar and Swarovski Elements have partnered for a 12-piece collection called Sparkling Essentials. Each season, the line will release a collection of pieces set in antiqued gold metal, embellished with Swarovski crystals. The jewels are actually reasonably affordable at $25 to $85 a pop (with the exception of a limited edition design). You can see the entire Sparkling Essentials collection on their site.
