The Story of Carrie Necklace
In 2008, the ladies of hit television show ‘Sex and the City’ made history when they became instant cinema hit through ‘Sex and the City, the Movie.’ Millions of women, and some men, geared up and went into long queues at movie houses to see the big-screen adventures of Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha, and of course Carrie. The film release brought back New York’s juiciest gossips, the four ladies’ latest life adventures, and of course, the trademark Carrie necklace, which has been identified with Carrie (played by Sarah Jessica Parker).
Audiences breathed a heavy sigh of relief from the happy ending of the first film. In 2010, the sequel of the hit movie was released. Carrie necklace was in vogue once again. What is with this fashion accessory and why does it contain a unique kind of ‘magic’? The famous Carrie necklace was first introduced during the second season of the revolutionary sex-comedy TV hit. From then on, the character of Carrie was rarely seen without wearing that necklace. It was like Carrie necklace completed the entire personality and character of the most controversial Sex and the City persona.
During the last season of the TV show, there was one episode when Carrie necklace was lost by Carrie when she went to Paris, France with her then boyfriend, Aleksander Petrovesky (played by Mikhail B
arishnikov). Carrie was of course very upset because for her, that necklace was a priceless possession. Aleksander tried to console Carrie by replacing the name necklace with no less than a more expensive $55,000 diamond-encrusted jewelry. In the succeeding episodes and before she broke up with the Russian guy, Carrie of course (and predictably) found her priceless Carrie necklace. Thus, she again wore it until the TV series finale. It was carried over to the recent two movie sequels of the show.
What was so special about Carrie necklace? It was a 14K gold customized nameplate necklace. The item was small in size, featuring a 16-inch yellow gold chain with a diamond dotting the letter ‘i’ in the spell-out of the name ‘Carrie.’ The pendant was approximately half-an-inch tall and about a quarter-inch wide. The actual price range of identical or similar name necklaces could cost about $200 to $300 currently. It was often described as elegant, stylish, and fashionable as a unique fashion accessory. It has not surprised anyone that there had been instant following since the famous jewelry embraced the spotlight.
