Cecilia Tallis’s necklace
In our special supplement, we pair characters from fiction with truly imaginative – but entirely real – jewellery. Here, Cecilia Tallis, from “Atonement”, wears a necklace by Jacqueline Cullen
“Her first resort was a black crêpe de Chine dress which, according to the dressing table mirror, bestowed by means of clever cutting a certain severity of form. Its air of invulnerability was heightened by the darkness of her eyes. Rather than offset the effect with a string of pearls, she reached in a moment’s inspiration for a necklace of pure jet.”
