Back when we interviewed J.Crew employees about everything worth getting at J.Crew, one oft-repeated piece of advice was to peruse the jewelry section on your way to the checkout line. The retailer’s jewelry — which often includes good dupes for more expensive pieces — is reasonably priced, and when it goes on sale, it’s really reasonably priced. Case in point: these once-$50 earrings now going for less than $18 with the code EXTRA (it’s a discount of close to 70 percent off). You can take your pick between “burnished gold” and “silver mirror” finishes — either way, they remind me of Bottega Veneta’s teardrops. If you order them by December 19, you can get them in time for Christmas Eve on December 24. (And if you’re looking for other last-minute gifts, we’ve got you covered.)
