We did a double take upon seeing this necklace sold by Colette, which reads “Kill yourself and die.” (It also comes with a piece of artwork with the same slogan.) If there’s a reference to something here, we’re missing it. If there’s an artistic explanation, we’re not seeing it in the product description. Either way, we’re not sure anything could ameliorate the message of what seems to be essentially a piece of pro-suicide jewelry. [Colette] Keep reading »
There’s not much to say about the Fenton/Fallon for J.Crew jewelry collaboration. It’s just awesome. The drapey, multi-tier look that so many try and fail to do well has been accomplished, the chains are bright but not over-shiny, and we want literally every single piece from the collection. Sadly, it’s not cheap, so we’ve found a favorite in this side drape necklace, which may very well be worth the investment. Check out the whole collection here.
OK, so here it is: I can’t stand when people wear giant necklaces with strapless dresses. It just doesn’t make sense—you go to all that trouble to wear a strapless dress to show off your pretty skin and shoulders and collarbone and then what do you do? Throw a necklace over all the bits that you’re trying to show off! Check out Natalie Portman, above — doesn’t she look chic and double-take gorgeous? It’s not because of her dress—though the dress is seriously lovely—it’s because you can’t take your eyes off of her. And why can you actually see purdy Natalie? Because she didn’t cover it all up with a big, honking necklace! Do you guys agree? Granted, I’m mostly a less is more kind of gal, but still—when I take the trouble to take care of my skin and wear a strapless cocktail dress, it’s because I want people looking at me. Not my choice of accessories. I’m done now, thanks. Keep reading »
J. Crew has accomplished the impossible: statement jewelry that is elegant and affordable. This classically arranged assortment of shining glass rhinestones set on plated brass chains is craveable enough. With the added charm of a ribbon-tie closure, it’s cute enough to kill for. This necklace packs a fashion punch without being too showy or over-the-top. The price is not exactly bargain-friendly, but when you consider how this necklace will not only go with absolutely everything you own, but will also make all your outfits 100 times more stylish, how can you resist? [$98, J.Crew ]
Excuse our French? Well maybe not today. Coming from a very French family, we were lucky enough to grow up in Paris and go back fairly often. Our aunt has always loved the city and would take us out when we were little to tea or shopping and would let us wear her bright red lipstick. This past year we were visiting for our birthday when she decided to take is to a jewelry expo, and we ran across this company. French Factory’s mix of jewelry is very tongue and cheek — delicate porcelain or gold with modern day expressions ranging from ladylike to raunchy on them. This “J’aime le choclolat” long necklace translates to “I love chocolate,” and of course who doesn’t? While it’s a French company and we ran across them at random, they have French and English sites that are definitely easy to access. [$76, French Factory] Keep reading »
We here at The Frisky are computer geeks. There’s no use denying it, and we wouldn’t want to if we could. You can still look cool as a geek because some tech-y accessories are just begging to be worn, vaguely embarrassing or not. Among them is this plastic heart-shaped flash drive, which makes our real hearts flutter. It’s red, it’s geek chic and it holds more info than our minds ever could. What’s not to love?

Apparently Nietzsche, like hipsters, wore a mustache while nattering on about how God is dead. Or so says Demitasse Jewelry vis-a-vis this funky little Nietszche ‘stache necklace. Sterling silver is the cheapest, but if you’ve got the money and a thing for philosophers, you can score a 14-karat one for $455. With all the coin we’ve spent on upper lip bleaching since puberty, this is just the kind of moustache we’ve been looking for! [Starting at $75, Demitasse Jewelry] Keep reading »
Jewelry designer Alexis Bittar makes thoroughly modern pieces with retro nods. Whether it’s his shaved lucite bangles with inlaid gold polka dots or this sculptural metal necklace, his goods are playfully sophisticated. In fact, his unique pieces, handmade in a Brooklyn loft, look more bent for an art museum, which explains why they retail at the MoMa store. Lucky for us, we don’t have to be a well-lit wall in a prestigious gallery or even a wealthy patron to wear his rad rhodium necklace.You can even pick up this beauty online. [$225,AlexisBittar.com]
Despite writing about relationships and marriage on a daily basis, we’re not actually sold on marriage as an institution. But one marriage we can get on board with, though, is that of wood and steel, like this mod necklace. It’s like they were just made for each other. See, if we were ever at a wedding for wood and steel and the officiator said, “Does anyone object to this union?” and someone said “yes” we would immediately have to have words with this person, because obviously he doesn’t know a good pair when he sees it.
