Titled Roberta by Olivia Palermo, the prettily hued, bead and sequin embellished collar-style necklaces are inspired by the designer’s and Olivia’s best-loved cities – Paris, London, Berlin and, of course, Manhattan – and are named after Olivia’s favourite neighbourhoods. From The Marais to The Belgravia, each design embodies the vibe and aesthetic of the area while remaining true to Olivia’s playfully chic style.
