As I was searching for photos of Sonny and Cher for this style icon post, my focus went in another direction when I spotted Cher wearing a necklace that I own ...omg I die!
Upon further inspection, it looks as though they are a bit different. For instance, I think hers has a couple more pineapples on the sides and they are a bit larger as well. I'm guessing Cher still owns hers unless she sold it for charity because how could you possibly get rid of this? {note* it's called a Squash Blossom Necklace}
I got mine on Ebay a couple years ago just because I thought it was so fabulous I had to have it {although I haven't worn it yet}.
1. Turquoise ALWAYS comes back in style
2. This is such a statement piece it would make any simple/solid dress pop!
Imagine my excitement when I saw it around Cher's neck in the 70's!!! .. love. that. shit.

I really liked Cher's look in the late 60's-70's. She was so pretty. I wish she wouldn't have done all the plastic surgery stuff. She was a natural beauty.

Wow - love it - found one just like it on etsy for $269 but that is waaayyy out of my budget! (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23778030) Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for yours?
Thanks!!!

It is so nice to think about all the hidden treasures I may have somewhere buried in my own closet.

Ok, woah, that's awesome (I literally said "woah" out loud). Not only is it a gorgeous necklace, but you're basically a celebrity by proxy now.
And you're so right - turquoise will always come back into style!
So awesome! And I love turquoise!
When I was little in the 1970s, I had a Cher scrapbook, formed mostly by images from *Rona Barrett's Hollywood.* But somehow I found Cher's address and she sent me a couple of autographed photos. Can still imitate that distinctive autograph!
Your necklace is just too fabulous! Love the Sonny and Cher post. Love it! I'm so glad you stopped by my little blog so that I could discover yours. It's too fun! The huge images are great.
The necklace is great. I want one so so badly now.
1970s Cher is a great fashion icon. I've been told I look like Cher before LOL

Turquoise ALWAYS comes back in style--- yep yep , my mum LOVES Turquoise, she is Inuit so she can identify a little but I have been having trouble finding authentic pieces... = ( This is HOT!!!!
