Necklaces seem to be the big hit overall for spring thanks to J Crew/Fenton Fallon as well as Vera Wang and Oscar de le Renta.
I love that I found this very feminine peachy pearl creation from Forever 21 which looked like a dead ringer for the J Crew. Sarah Jessica Parker sported a similar one at the Sex and the City 2 premiere in Tokyo.
The Forever 21 jewelry retails at $14.10 — it's their upscale twisted necklace online, which is also available in teal. It's great for summer dresses, cocktail dresses and it also works well mixed up with a cardigan and tank, slim skirt and heels for work.
The J Crew version — for those who want a more luxe feel — is $250 and is a cluster of pearls and rhinestones on grosgrain ribbon fabric, which is a bit wider and has leather flowers. Quite an exquisite piece of work! This can go dressy or with overalls and a tee. Because each has a unique vintage feel, these two will last a lifetime.
