Partially inspired by Melanie Griffith in Something Wild, featured in my recent Louise Brooks post, but mostly inspired by my insane love affair with accessories, I celebrate the 'statement necklace' - the loud, large, heavy pieces that dominate any look. The louder, larger and heavier, the better. I love anything turquoise, but I adore Raquel Welch's Native American-inspired stone necklaceEven while on the run, Faye Dunaway's Bonnie never abandons style with this gold coin necklaceAnita Pallenberg has a fabulous array of baublesNot to be outdone by anyone, Kanye West rocks a few awesome chainsCarmen Miranda never says no to strands of beadsTwiggy incorporates her dress into a necklace into watches into magical-nessEdie Sedgwick is never less than the ultimate It-Girl with her signature style of gamine clothes and a heavy beaded necklaceElizabeth Taylor, the queen of jewels, has some amazing pieces on display Judy Collins shows how strands of small beads can be made into a statement-making lookMy style hero Iris ApfelKeith Richards rocks the pirate-rocker-hot god thing really wellLa pièce de résistance - Maria Felix's crocodile necklace
