And the Oscar goes to… beaded statement necklaces

In the fashion debates about the red carpet looks at this year’s Oscars, two beaded necklaces have been grabbing all the jewellery coverage. And they are a look you can reproduce even if you don’t have design houses and stylists flinging couture at you.

Cate Blanchett’s turquoise and crystal cluster necklace has universally been hailed a hit.

But there has been more debate about Scarlett Johansson’s green one. But it certainly got her noticed and surely that’s one of the aims of a statement piece.

When I saw these pictures, the first thing I thought of were these two necklaces from London Jewellery School founder Jessica Rose’s book, Bead and Wire Fashion Jewellery.
