Jewelry Fashion Icons

I have always been enchanted by fashion icons who wore beautiful jewelry. Former First Lady Jackie Kennedy, actresses Elizabeth Taylor and Natalie Wood, all wore timeless statement pieces that dazzled the world over. These fabulous women exuded an elegant confidence and wore their jewelry with enthusiasm.

As first Lady, Jackie Kennedy was frequently seen wearing a pearl necklace. Her gorgeous pearls, both elegant and demure, complimented her dark hair exquisitely. Elizabeth Taylor, famous for her love of diamonds, wore her emerald and diamond drop earrings like a queen. Natalie Wood’s jewelry style was more eclectic and fresh. She looked as though she was having fun wearing her jewelry.

I have included images of these three notable women wearing their jewels, along with similar styles of jewelry that are currently being sold today. I hope that you can enjoy this jewelry style that is reminiscent of the nineteen sixties, a fashion decade that is a favorite of mine.
