As we head into Spring and push back hangers and rifle through drawers sorting what makes sense for the new season, I’m always looking for an easy way to update an old favorite.  I have an antique locket that hits just at my sternum, that I never, ever wear.  My wrists jangle, my fingers flash and my ears are hooped, but my neck is usually bare.  I’ve been wanting a charm to hang low inside my blouses, right in the spot where I spray my perfume.  When I saw this Celine brass and silk necklace, it offered the bridge between old and new.  The gleam of the metal and the rough of the cord are an irresistible combination and a good way to give an old piece new life.
