Signature necklace

One of my hands-down favorite pieces of jewelry is an eight-strand "coral" necklace from Urban Oufitters. I get tons of compliments on it. I love it because it surrounds my face with color -- always flattering -- and fills up the neckline if I wear a V-neck -- also flattering.

For a while I've been looking for something similar for a client. I finally found it, thanks to In Style magazine.  (While I'm mentioning it I recommend checking out the retooled magazine; it's far more eclectic than it used to be -- and less sycophantic.)

KEP Designs green opal necklace ($295)

Note that this necklace isn't for everyone -- not everyone can wear this color green successfully. But for those who can, it would be a signature piece -- something to enliven the most prosaic outfit, and not just something to put on with a suit and silk blouse (although of course it would work with that, as well).

Sadly, not everything on the website is equally nice (I don't recommend those twisted necklaces, for instance) but this piece would be a great addition to most everyday jewelry collections.
