Chain Hang Low?

A Vixen always knows how to work her charm, be it in the boardroom of the dance floor.

With the help of a few fresh-to-death jewelry lines, get ready to work those charms around your neck, as well.

Lady Leisure: Tough-girl kitsch at it's finest, this New Jersey-based, husband-and-wife design duo makes dainty necklaces and strings on mini pairs of sterling silver sneakers, pumps, bananas, and ice-cream bars. The sweetest part? They're all under $100.

Gabriel Urist : If you feel like ballin' out a little more, throw down some change for the hipster designs of Michigan-bred designer Gabriel Urist. He takes urban cult symbols like the New Era cap, Nike AF1's and basketballs, casts them in platinum or gold, and then bedazzles them with diamonds, rubies, and sapphires.

State of Mine: Represent, represent! That's exactly what this charm-driven label lets you do. For $325, you can flaunt your hometown pride by choosing a charm of one of 49 states (Hawaii n/a) in 14k gold with a diamond placed in your city of choice. Designer Juliet Rogulewski also offers an "I Heart" series that let's non-tourist states get some love.
