While "gaudy" is never a look to go for, there's something about an oversized cocktail ring that's totally chic without looking tacky. After all, a little bling never hurt anyone... that is, except when said cocktail ring burns a serious hole in your wallet! Luckily, aside from the giant diamonds and precious gems, there are plenty of affordable options to rock the costume jewelry look and make a fashionable statement that doesn't say "I spent a fortune" or "This was as cheap as it looks!" Who says nice jewelry has to cost an arm and a leg? Without further ado, take a look at the slideshow for 10 cocktail rings under $30!

Who says you need a campy store-bought costume to be festive this Halloween? I'm all for dressing up, but there's more to getting into the haunted holiday spirit than black lipstick and fishnets. If you're a jewelry gal (but then again, what girl isn't?), there are tons of trendy Halloween-themed charms, pendants, bangles, and even cocktail rings that are bound to appeal to your inner trick-or-treater. This Swarovski Ghost Charm is an adorably festive addition to any charm bracelet or keychain, and if you aren't a huge arachnophobe like I am, this spider ring from Betsey Johnson is appropriately gothic-chic. But just because they're perfect for the spooky season doesn't mean they're too kitschy to wear after the 31st -- this skull-embellished wrap bracelet by Alexander McQueen will still be stylish even after all your candy has been devoured! Browse through the slideshow for some of my favorite festive jewelry!
