Estate Jewelry Look Of The Day - The Victorian Locket

I know that you think that it is all champagne, caviar and chicness chez Beladora.  But some Friday afternoons it is so cold in the office that I just end up with my scarf wrapped turban style around my head.
Don't ask why, it's just how I roll.
OK, enough about me...here is what I wanted to show you.

Antique Victorian Locket Pendant with Amethyst in Silver and Gold from Beladora.com $395

What is really cool about this locket,
aside from the unbelievable price (and don't forget your BHB discount code)
is the fact that it has two Victorian photos on the interior
and the woman in the photo appears to be wearing this very locket.  Click on my link to see the details.
A little bit of living history, non?
OK peeps, have a great weekend.

How To Wear Estate Jewelry - Carolina Herrera Style

Carolina Herrera is on my mind today.  I've always admired her chic pared back style with few, the great white shirt with the cuffs and collar turned up, the straightforward black skirt and most importantly, the few but standout jewelry pieces. 

I've been wanting to post this fabulous photo by Douglas Freidman for a while.  Doesn't she look fierce in her Verdura watch, Verdura bracelet, gold signet ring, south sea pearl earrings and vintage antique watch fob necklace.  I would so wear this outfit.

If the full on watch fob necklace is too Grande Dame for you (and not to mention too expensive...lots of gold weight in that necklace), here's the younger version with a single fob pendant on an antique chain.

here's the detail
