Last Thursday, Jennifer Garner was Kelly Clarkson's very first special guest to participate in the new "Coffee Break" segment on her namesake show. While the pair chatted about their mutual love of coffee (featuring a hilarious story of Garner's first time drinking the caffeinated bev), I couldn't help but notice something extra sparkly on the 13 Going on 30 actress's neck. The accessory, an 18K gold birthstone pendant necklace that looks like quite the pricey buy, turned out to be from BaubleBar—one of PureWow editors' go-to brands for affordable jewelry. And, whaddya know, the beautiful bling happens to be well within my price range, ringing in at just $72. (I see you being a money-saving maven, Jen.) Not only is it budget-friendly, but since there's a birthstone involved, it's also personal by nature, making it the perfect gift to give or receive this holiday season. Plus, it's celebrity-approved.

Made with 18k gold-plated sterling silver, these birthstone necklaces add a pop of shimmer to any outfit. The chain measures a whole 17 inches with a two-inch extender that's secured by a lobster clasp, as well as the scene-stealing stone pendant, which is made of glistening cubic zirconia and available in 12 hues—one for every month of the year. Garner opted for the crystal pendant representing her birth month, April, which will go with just about anything given its neutral color. There's also August's muted peridot, March's vibrant aquamarine and November's warm topaz, but, of course, you don't have to stick with your birth month—if you want to shake things up, simply go for the color you're drawn to (why not?!).

BaubleBar

The simple, yet elegant gold chain with a CZ charm makes for a sweet understated staple. Plus, it's hypoallergenic, per the brand, so there should be no weird and itchy reactions. Layer it with other necklaces of varying lengths for a boho look, or keep it simple like Garner and wear it solo to let the piece shine on its own. It's also the perfect gift for a special someone in your life, whether that's momgrandmaa sister or even a girlfriend. BTW, BaubleBar's birthstone necklace is a part of a larger collection of birthstone jewelry that the brand launched earlier this year. It's made up of customizable necklaces, bracelets and earrings, so there'll be a little something for everyone.
