If you were on my Facebook site around Fashion Week, you might remember me posting on this mystery necklace that was appearing seemingly EVERYWHERE. I began to wonder if this gorgeous piece was getting handed out as party favors. Alas, I finally found out that this is a Pegasus Necklace and it can be purchased here . The reason it was everywhere? Turns out it was pulled by Lucky Magazine and Vogue for editorial shoots, so I’m not the only one with good taste. This is a show stopper and looks as well with a dressed up look as it does casual. Go get yours now.
