Recessionista: Locket Up!

I love this necklace!

The designers at Emily Elizabeth Jewelry aren't inspired by Audrey Hepburn's style or Ashley, Vanessa or Madonna...this company was inspired by the locket necklace Ruth Gordon gave Mia Farrow in the film Rosemary's Baby. This classic piece is actually chicer and less smelly than the iconic tanis root. Available for $60, it comes in colors like yellow, pink, green or white gold. It's perfect for keeping someone close (or not!).

I emailed the company's owner and asked about the genesis of this item. Emily replied: "I actually grew up on that movie and when I was little, the necklace inspired by my first attempt at design. I was 12 and filled a mesh bag that I put potpourri, said it was Tanis root like in Rosemary's Baby, and gave it to my mom. This is a more glam and grown-up version!" This company has celebrity fans ranging from MTV's Alexa Chung to Vanessa Hudgens. The working locket can fit two tiny circular photos.
