Fifteen minutes later, I had unearthed a German seller on the French resale website Vestiaire Collective, who was willing to part with theirs for £481.37 (₹48,650), complete with its dust bag and original box. Reader, I bought it. And then I bragged about it. “It’s spring/ summer 2013,” I told admirers who enquired as to the necklace’s origin at a Vogue party.
