Blake Lively in Carla Reiter Copper and Diamond Necklace

Is it just me or has Gossip Girl gone way downhill since the season started? Not only is the plot line getting frustrating to watch, but the fashions are becoming stale. This becomes all the more apparent every time I catch an old episode. How stunning does Blake Lively look in the photo above? In character as Serena she’s wearing the one-of-a-kind Carla Reiter Copper and Diamond Necklace ($5,200), which strikes me as the perfect holiday piece. Please bring back more Carla Reiter!

Everything in the designer’s collection is entirely handmade, generally from knitted silver using techniques that she’s been developing for more than a decade and prices range from around $150 for simple pieces to around $5,500 the big necklaces. Check-out her site to see pieces from her collection. You can email Reiter at atc-reiter@comcast.net (she responds quickly as I learned firsthand :-)), to inquire about purchasing anything you see or head to Roseark (LA), Patina Gallery (Santa Fe), and June Blaker (Chicago), all of which stock her designs.

  1. Not loving the necklace. It’s kinda like putting a christmas wreath around your head with all the hanging spherical gems. Oh and with regards to gossip girl, it’s just you 🙂
