Vivienne Westwood designed this necklace in 1987 to oppose the original and proper pearl.

What do you get when you combine Bridgerton with Japanese anime? Obviously, Vivienne Westwood has a pearl necklace with a crystal ball logo. This necklace was originally designed as a single strand in 1987, and was updated to three strands from Westwood's Portrait series in 1990. Now, due to its popularity on TikTok, it has become the newly crowned It-Girl accessory in 2021. Celebrities including Janelle Monae, Bella Hadid, and Dua Lipa have all found wearing TikTok necklaces, as the influencer community calls it.

Pearl jewelry can be seen everywhere these days-Harry Styles and A$AP Rocky are fans, Rihanna recently went out for dinner in Carbone in New York, with a long rope wrapped around her neck-called the Bridgerton effect. On TikTok, the romanticism of the Regent era collided with the Japanese anime Nana, who was outfitted by a former fashion student in Westwood’s sphere design (promoting Nana and Vivienne Westwood to collaborate) and a new wave of Gen Z fans The creation appeared.

The authentic vintage Vivienne Westwood sphere can be found on eBay, but the single-strand necklace is available on the brand's website for $195 (the three-strand necklace is still available, but it is currently sold out). Although it feels obvious now, Westwood is a pioneer in combining obvious artificial pearl jewelry with high-end designs. Then and now, adding a few pearls to other rebellious attire will add just the right zhush, flip Diana Vreeland's motto, saying that it has a bit of bad taste on its head... and it fits perfectly. Perfectly integrated into TikTok selfies.
