The Anchor Necklace designed by Playboy and White Trash Charms was one example of how Ms. Winehouse drew her style from the fashion industry and made such jewelry her own brand of fashion and taste.

The Anchor pendant necklace is fine vermeil jewelry made of sterling silver dipped in 14k gold and hangs on a gold plated 18″ diamond cut snake chain. The signature White Trash Charms WTC anchor collides with Playboy for a big flash featuring a Bunny Head engraved on one side with WTC on the other.

Tragically, both the music world and the world of fashion lost a hugely talented Ms. Winehouse when she was found dead in her London apartment over the July 22rd weekend.  Fans around the globe mourn her untimely death and their great loss.

As a tribute to her  as well as a wonderful collectible piece of jewelry for any Winehouse fan, the Anchor necklace can connect to her lasting memory.

Although this necklace design has been retired, you may be able to find this necklace and other new but rare and retired jewelry finds for WTC and Playboy at Candy4YourBody.com

MORE ABOUT MS. WINEHOUSE

Ms. Givhan continues in her article with her comments that “Winehouse was widely celebrated for a voice that could ache with emotion, but it was her style that had the fashion industry smitten. She dressed in the fitted skirts and dresses of 1960s girl groups and wore a magnificent black beehive streaked with white. Thick eyeliner gave her face a dramatic, catlike allure. But if she had simply been mimicking a retro style, she would not have made such an impact. A good number of singers reach back to the past—to the ’60s and ’70s—to find inspiration for their stage personas. Women such as Esperanza Spalding, Erykah Badu, and Adele all owe a debt to styles from bygone eras.

What made Winehouse intoxicating was that she blended vintage style with the fashion industry’s love for destruction, for fetishizing imperfections, and for elevating broken-down beauty.

Fashion, after all, is the business that, in the 1990s, popularized heroin chic, a kind of sweaty, haggard aesthetic in which models were made to look hollow-eyed, vulnerable, and high. The industry published no small number of photographs of models posed as though they had just spent the evening zonked out on smack only to awaken on the floor of some dismal public space, their designer cocktail dress twisted around their hips, one of their $600 shoes gone missing.

The allure was in the contradiction between the rarefied clothes and the seedy locations, the danger implied in the scurrilous disarray and the thrill of recklessness. Those fashion editorials played off the romantic patina our culture still associates with drug-addled creative types. They also evoked the mad risk-taking of youth.”
