THE CULT ACCESSORY: THE TALISMAN NECKLACE

A statement accessory that’s full of mystic charm.

From Prada’s oversized pendants featuring the likes of briar wood (the kind used to make pipes) and precious quartz crystals such as amethyst and citrine, to Valentino’s beaded necklace that riffs on the kind that ethnic shamans don – Fall’s statement costume jewellery is full of eclectic, mystic charm. Those who see fashion as a religion will want one. And while these don’t quite ward against evil, a sense of spirituality never hurts, especially in these tough times.
