Kate Winslet wasn’t the only one who shined at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards. Best actress nominee Christina Applegate combined Sophia Loren style with Joan Holloway hair. But what caught our eye, aside from the pale yellow satin Roberto Cavelli dress, were was her vintage-inspired statement necklace. Designed by Lorrain Schwartz, the 50-carat diamond flower and leaf necklace necklace added organic glam to her 1960s look.
But here’s the dilemma – not all of us can afford vintage celebrity bling. As I drooled over this outfit and dress, I realized that 1928 Jewelry has a comparable, much more affordable piece (and matching earrings) that would almost rival the fine jewelry version.
So here’s how to achieve Christina’s vintage style without hurting your pocket book: 2028 Bellissimo Giardino Collection.
PSST – Look closely, it comes in two tones – Antique Black (Hematite) and Polished Brass! It’s also hand-enameled with real Swarovski crystals.
