This tortoise shell link necklace features large plastic beads, gold-colored end caps and oblong open links in a 1960s disco-inspired design. This necklace closes with a hidden, tongue-in-groove clasp with a tortoise-shell-colored bead and filigree on top. In some ways, this piece challenges my idea of Haskell elegance, but then again many whimsical designs bear her name. I have to admit that I bought this necklace, which was made more recently than my usual 1920-1960 scope, because I wanted to see the French-made links up close and in person. Any Mad Men fans out there?
