A brightly lit rectangular shop with illuminated inset shelves and merchandise-packed freestanding tables, Fringe is a fantastic asset to the 50th and France shopping district. Offering an array of extremely inexpensive but appealingly designed jewelry - much of it in brushed silvertone and goldtone metals - this tiny boutique is a fantastic resource for quick-fix costume jewelry. On-trend layered chains, long necklaces, stacking bangles, and funky hoops vie for your attention, as do a small selection of watches and adorned headbands. Most items are under $30, making this shop a bargain-hunter's dream come true.
 
When you just can't afford to pony up for the real deal but are hankering for some new sparklies, stop by Fringe and pick up a few funky jewels to tide you over.
