Waldorf Astoria Cocktail Pick Necklace

I'm crazy for cocktail picks, and I'm batty about the Waldorf Astoria. Although, full disclosure, I once was not permitted to eat breakfast at the famed Park Avenue palace, as I was clad in "dungarees" -- the maitre d's word -- a determination I completely agreed with. Thrilled, I was, to get politely tossed from the W-A. My parents still talk about it, with much mirth.

Designer Erica Weiner of New York has transformed a Waldorf cocktail pick into a gor-ge-ous (three syllables, yes) necklace. You'd just have to slowly sip a tart gimlet while twirling this baby and staring at something -- someone? -- across a long room.
