Michael Kors, early 21st century
How great is a belt that’s also a necklace? Or a necklace that’s also a belt? With this elegant Michael Kors creation I take my inspiration from Coco Chanel and wear it a different way each time I put it on. It’s really quite stunning as a lariat!
This piece epitomizes the Michael Kors vision of chic, luxurious American sportswear.

Metal Pointu’s, spring 2000
This lovely handcrafted gold on brass necklace was a find at the Galeries Lafayette in Paris…just a small digression from my handbag mission in the spring of 2000! I especially love it with the Francesco Biasia Wave Tote; the repetition of the undulating pattern reinforces the strength of each piece. And, the counterbalance of the precision-cut leather to the artisanal quality of the metal makes it infinitely more interesting.
Metal Pointu’s is designed by Bernard Bouhnik and fabricated in Paris. M. Bouhnik began creating jewelry in 1988; he now adds a new design to the collection twice a year to coincide with the Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter Collections. In addition to the five Parisian boutiques, Metal Pointu’s can be found in Soho at 252 Elizabeth Street, NY, NY 10012, 646.454.1539. Enjoy!

Jean Paul Gaultier, spring 2000
This amazing twelve-strand necklace and spiral bracelet look at once tribal and absolutely contemporary. I purchased them in Paris in the Jean Paul Gaultier boutique within the Galeries Lafayette along with the “bracelet clutch.” An important part of the appeal is that the jewelry is just ordinary metal—not so precious that it must be saved only for special occasions. Additionally, the warm glow is so flattering against the skin and much more elegant than the usual overly-polished costume jewelry. Even though these are production pieces, they have a wonderful artisanal quality.
