Twinkly finishing touches are de rigueur
when it comes to festive dressing. On
winter and resort runways, fashion
designers brought it with a trove of
retro-inspired jewelry that feels
especially personalized and pulled-
together. Playful new riffs on brooches,
pearls, and collar necklaces stand out as
go-tos—to give or to get. For further
inspiration, we turn to a new Taschen
tome, "Costume Jewelry," that
showcases nearly 600 statement pieces
amassed by Italian art collector Patrizia
Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. Here, the
book's author and expert jewelry
historian, Carol Woolton, weighs in on
the timeless pieces she considers
wearable art, and how they circle around
again and again.
