My First Request~ Lisa Vanderpump Necklace

Ahhhh So excited! (said in a Teresa Guidice voice since I am watching the finale of RHONJ) The Housewive's Style Finder got their first request! 

A friend from college sent me this facebook post tonight: Hey girl....I need ur help....I got a plain dark purple strapless dress for a wedding....and I need a chunky real housewives beaded necklace for it.....where can I get one at?????

My first thought took me to a Tamera Barney necklace from RHOOC. Those ladies love themselves a good cross or fleur de lis around their necks & the one I had in mind is both chunky and beaded! Perfect. I still needed a little more detail on exactly what she had in mind. Different casts can have very different styles...

So I asked and she replied: 
One like the one lisa wore in RHOBH.....big jewels...multiple layers.....my dress is a dark eggplant purple strapless.....tks so much for ur help!!!!!!! 

Okay now I got it and know exactly what she is looking for! The Tamera Barney one I had in mind is also layered but I of course had to search and find more options! Just like Rachel Zoe says, One can never have enough options!

I'll start with the Tamera Barney necklace from Sassy Strands as option 1:
The fun thing about this necklace is that it has options within itself!
Full necklace!
Necklace with the bracelet attachment taken off!

The bracelet!

You can find this Sassy Strands necklace at this link: Tamera Barney Necklace
The price is $110.00 but when you think of the fact that it is 2 necklaces and a bracelet in 1 well that makes it a little more worth the price:)

So after I found out that she wanted a necklace like Lisa's from ROOBH I looked to Lisa herself for inspiration. 


I was not able to find the exact necklaces that Lisa is wearing and to be honest it does not surprise me considering I recently read an article listing her net worth at $65 million! But after seeing these two images I immediately thought BANANA REPUBLIC! I own a necklace fitting my friend's description from Banana and their jewelry line is not only more affordable but also GREAT quality! 

Here are the Lisa Vanderpump inspired necklace options that I found from Banana Republic~
Purple Rain Necklace- $59.50

Ice Princess Necklace- $69.50

Dancing Bead Necklace- $59.50

Garden Flowers Bloom Necklace- $69.50

I think that any of these would look beautiful with a dark eggplant strapless bridesmaids dress:)

Now just one more option from Sassy Strands! 
Jean Johnson Original crystal pendant.
No price listed but it was just added into a sassy sneak peaks 108.2 photo album on their Facebook page.
You can find their Facebook page by searching~ Sassy Strands
Just a stunning piece with that center stone! Which is also very on trend! 

So I will dedicate this blog to my friend from college, Amanda! I hope this helps you find the perfect Housewive's necklace for your Bridesmaid's Dress! Can't wait to see pictures:)
& until neck time "People like to have nice things, but I'm not one to brag about it." -name this week's housewife! Last week's was Teresa Guidice!
