Mary Kate's Necklace
This necklace was the first piece of jewelry I ever bought at a flea market. I found it on an overcrowded table run by this eccentric woman completely clad in all-vintage. At first I was skeptical about buying a piece from a flea market, but I think you have to buy things that you find to be beautiful whether they're in a bargain basement store or Colette in Paris. It's a huge necklace that garners a huge response; people are constantly complementing me on it. When I wear it I wear nothing else because the necklace is a true statement piece. I love it mostly because I know I'll wear it now, and when I'm 60 too.

— Mary Kate McGrath

What a gorgeous necklace! Why don't I find anything like that at flea markets? Is it signed?
