This Has Been the Most Instagrammed Accessory of the Year—If Not Decade

Ever since Phoebe Philo announced she was leaving Celine, people have been clambering to purchase her final designs for the house. There's one "old" Celine piece, in particular, that the fashion set has been stockpiling as a Phoebe memento: the bronze oversized alphabet charms. These are under $450 and feel really personal, as you can wear them in either your own initials or the initials of someone important to you. (Perhaps you might even want three W's, in honor of your favorite website…)
We have lost count of the number of people we've seen wearing these charms, but don't let that put you off, as the below pictures prove that this is a timeless piece that you can style in your own, unique way. The only problem is that it is now nearly impossible to get a hold of one of these necklaces, as they are no longer sold on Celine's website, and there has been a huge surge on resale sites for them.
