Here at Zentosa HQ, we love Michelle Obama - not just for her superb taste in jewellery (she first wore the Begum2 St-Erasmus necklace back in 2009) but because she wore it again last month whilst on the campaign trail! With tough economic climes ahead, it makes sense to recycle accessories, especially ones as gorgeous as the handmade piece designed by jewellery genius, Pieter Erasmus. Prudent and fashionable - we can't imagine a better style icon to follow!
For those of you unfamiliar with this opulent necklace, it is the creation of South African Born Pieter Erasmus, the brainchild of the St Erasmus Brand. It draws its influence from 18th Century India. Skilfully handcrafted by artisans in India, this opulent necklace features Swarovski crystal detailing, fresh-water pearls, faceted acrylic stones and gold Zari thread. The centrepiece is a pink crocheted crystal flower. Intricate, yet wearable, it's one of our favourite pieces.
I recently wore the necklace at a black tie event and it drew loads of admiring glances and compliments. If you like to be centre of attention (and who doesn't every now and then!), this amazing necklace will make you feel really special.
