Bauble: (bô’bəl) n. A small, showy ornament of little value; a trinket. (from The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language).  Bauble necklaces have officially made the leap from being trinkets to legitimately gorgeous key pieces in anyone’s jewelry wardrobe.  The word baubles now conjures up an image of a bright, rotund, attention-seeking adornment for the neckline.  These bauble necklaces offer a range of baubliciousness from Kate Spade’s elegant black bib to J Crew’s citrusy candy-like piece.  Pick your favorite–ornaments and trinkets like these have never looked better!
