Collet -set riviere necklaces

Sometimes I am sooo slow. Recently we had a necklace returned to J. Crew that was so pretty. It was an amethyst stone colored necklace of simple round stones that sat on the collar bone. we all took turns playing with it..trying it on and I just loved it. I noticed how the colors just lit my face and the sparkle was sophisticated not garish. Then I remembered "The September Issue" the fascinating documentary about Anna Wintour...the high priestess of the fashion world, and the necklaces she wore throughout the movie. I love the way she dresses..beautiful, feminine dresses and skirts, immaculately tailored and her necklaces. She wears three collet -set riviere necklaces of amethyst, citrine and aquamarine ...either alone or together. They are elegant, timeless and add color to the face of women of a "certain age". Who would know better how to dress than Anna? I saw it in my own experience of playing with the necklace at J. Crew. It is far prettier than the classic pearl strand. Pearls add glow but no color or sparkle. I often think to myself that once women hit a certain age ...they have to add color to their faces...either through jewelry, scarves, clothing or make-up. The riviere necklace is perfect! Then it took a day before I realized that, of course, J. Crew copied the necklace from the film knowing that everyone would notice every detail of Anna's dress. Yes, I was slow on the uptake here but I am glad to have discovered it.....it's as though Anna gave the advice just to me and she was soooo right.
