I am the very delighted Valentine’s Day recipient of this gorgeous and colourful (and aptly named!) rhinestone necklace from J. Crew. Prong set with crystals in coral, lavender, clear and amethyst, it is the perfect way to wake up an outfit.

Even better news for you (though not for my husband, as J. Crew would not honour the on-line sale price and made him pay full retail for it…grrr) it is on sale for a very attractive price (if you happen to get it while they are taking an additional 40% off already reduced online sale price. Depending on when you get it, it will be $234 or less; though in store in Canada, considerably more (see aforementioned grrrr):

J. Crew’s description is pretty fitting: Our designer took her obsession with 18th-century France and meshed it with a perfect palette of pale purple and hot orange. The result? Marie Antoinette meets J.Crew. Made of Czech glass, epoxy and brass.

I was pleased with the quality – it feels substantial in the hand and well-made. And lest you think it’s just for going out…. it isn’t. J. Crew meets Marie Antoinette, meets the office.
