A Girl's Best Friend

All a girl really needs is her best friends. Of course, if the real deal isn't in your near future, a little sparkle of the Swarovski variety is just as nice! Like this stunning statement piece created exclusively for J.Crew by Dana Lorenz, designer of NYC-based FENTON and FALLON.

Crafted from exquisite Swarovski crystals and Czech stones (each one is individually set by hand on a tumbled mix of chains) and carefully finished with 100 percent silk, hand-dyed and tied ribbons that match the stones' brilliant palette. The essence of tough chic meets uptown glamour—this is the necklace everyone else will covet.
