A fun Advent calendar is arguably one of the highlights of the holiday season—and there are always so many cute themes to choose from. Our favorite? Jewelry Advent calendars, which are stuffed with shiny bits and baubles that make fantastic gifts for women and teen girls. It’s the one time of the year that jewelry brands and retailers like Swarovski, Astrid & Miyu, Missoma, Pandora, and Liberty release special editions of their offerings. They’re usually packed with sparkling studs, sculptural huggies, gemstone-laden rings, charm bracelets, personalized pendant necklaces, you name it. Whether you like shades of high-quality gold or sterling silver, these 12-day and 24-day Advent calendars will stop you in your tracks. Plus, they’re often packaged in showstopping boxes with multiple tiers that can double as jewelry and makeup storage.

Though we know Christmas is still a couple of months away, we rounded up the best ones to shop now, especially since many are limited batches that will fly off the shelves, and you want to be ready if the plan is to start counting down on December 1 (or lock it in for counting the 12 days after). Below, find the very best jewelry Advent calendars and check back here throughout the season, as we continue to update this list.

Over the past two years, there has been an abundance of choice when it comes to Advent calendars. Ahead of December, we call our favorites into the Glamour office to assess the quality and durability of each Advent calendar’s trinkets, and consider the value and variety. Bonus points for calendars that offer treats such as gift cards and vouchers to spend on whatever you like, free delivery, and that come in reusable or recyclable packaging. Rest assured, the ones listed below are worth your money.
