Ever since I saw Cate Blanchett’s ears sparkling with Chopard’s Green Carpet collection wreath-like earrings on the Golden Globes red carpet in 2014, I’ve had a thing for that sort of look. That laurel leaf design is so rich, so enchanting, wrapping around to form an open circle that sits beautifully on the ear. Well, it’s the holiday season, and wreaths are most definitely in demand. It’s the most welcoming sight: Even on an otherwise bare house, a wreath on the door signifies that inside, there lives holiday cheer. But better than something that won’t last past the holiday season is a jewel that lasts forever—and the wreath motif is one of the most classically beautiful styles a woman could own. Be it a stud or a drop, you can’t lose with the earrings’ open circle form, bedecked in diamonds or colorful gemstones. For the season and forever after (rolling right into red carpet season!),
