JANUARY JONES may be best known for her stint as stint mid-century Mad Men mama Betty Draper, but the star can rock modern looks too, as her Instagram presence proves. Besides the actress’s low-key glamour and slightly goofy personality, one thing stands out in her selfies: a gold charm necklace that is clearly the actress’s go-to jewel.
The configuration changes occasionally, but the necklace’s base layer is almost always the same; a gold chain with a large Van Cleef & Arpels Virgo medallion at the center and a gold Foundrae shield to the side. Jones occasionally swaps out charms or adds additional layers, but she rarely posts a selfie without the piece. Recent photos show a new addition to the setup, a connector that attaches a pink gemstone charm.
It is both unusual and delightful to see a celebrity so dedicated to a personal piece of jewelry, especially such an interesting and versatile piece. Fans can’t get enough of the look – there are whole forums online dedicated to finding lookalikes for the style. Charm necklaces that can be scaled up or down with additional connectors are a dream for shopping opportunities, as the very nature of such a piece demands new additions and evolution over time.
