Fantasy Web Finds of the Day: Lisa Levine Rain Shadow Necklace and Tola & Layla Tourmaline Ring
Fantasy Web Finds of the Day: Lisa Levine Rain Shadow Necklace and Tola & Layla Tourmaline Ring
Posted by Dain, Monday, April 28, 2008 2:39 AM (Eastern)
I'm almost ashamed to admit how strong the ruling instinct is in me, because upon watching Silence of the Lambs, a deliberately anti-fashion movie, I felt compelled to replicate Clarisse Starling's taste in jewelry. She's not at all a frivolous woman, while I am, but I did notice that, like everyone else, she takes a little more care when she feels the need to impress. Specifically, when she goes to meet Hannibal Lecter for the first time, and when she graduates from the FBI academy, she dons the simple gold necklace shown at left (just a line of gold beads), something obviously sentimental. I dunno, I've got such florid taste, for the most part. It's nice to look at the exact opposite.
I was not able to find an exact copy, but I also like the graduated rings of this necklace ($286), a little more expressive but still entirely understated. And since Jodie seems to wear a ring, too, I added this charming little pink tourmaline ring ($195), which proves that there's great elegance in simplicity. I've been wearing my own chain on its own. I like the look, so delicate and clean, and there's no pendant to get in the way of, *ahem*, perfumes.
Watching the movie again now, she also wears simple pearl studs, but I've edited this once already, and you all know what pearl studs look like, so just fill in the blank, please.

Foster's Clarisse Starling really rocked. Without her, imo, the movie was barely worth watching. But I found her hypnotic...just the idea of, this is a professional woman, who isn't stupid or just looking for a guy.

I agree. That's what I like about her too, smart and ambitious and NOT the romantic heroine.
