The rhinestone necklace. You probably have one from a costume jewel-loving grandmother or a fruitful day at the flea market. But odds are, you don’t have one that looks like this. The old guard of rhinestone is dainty and delicate. But if you look closely at rhinestones, you realize the chunky, ice cube-ish shape is so much better suited by a smart yet heavy hand. Count on Tom Binns, who we know has a bright eye for classic-meets-crazy collisions (including touches of neon and safety pins) to take retro forties glam, jumble it up, and then rearrange it into an intricately tiered web of freshness.
The rhodium-plated Dumont necklace is a statement piece, and what’s the message? Sparkle, baby, sparkle endlessly! To do it with guilt-free ease, nothing beats clusters of Swarovski crystals, artfully arranged for a vintage meets modern and layered mix that only Tom could execute. A fine layer of frosting: it’s frothy, it’s fun, it’s a fanciful piece that will tempt you to wear it to every party this season. On Net-a-Porter for $875.
