Designer Lauren McMillan works out of a Toronto-based studio and produces beautiful collections inspired by couture fashion, cutting-edge style and electric uses of color. Her one-of-a-kind pieces offer a truly custom look at an affordable price, with most of her pieces currently selling for under $200.00: a small price to pay to be the only person that owns a beautiful, bright and bold necklace like the Sunshine one listed on her site. If you’re looking for something a little less loud and a bit more elegant, the shop also sells many chain, ribbon and crystal bead-based jewelry pieces that would add a touch of sophistication to any casual look or complement a dressed-up style perfectly. So if you’re looking for that special new piece to wear to the holiday party this year, Lauren Elan Collections sells [necklaces and bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaillard-jewelry) that are not only accessories, but works of art as well.
