Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my (jewelry) collection's complete?

Piggybacking on the success of its many Alice in Wonderland-themed jewelry collections, Disney is tapping a certain scaly redheaded heroine to play the muse for its newest offering.

Starting in May, Disney Couture will be selling a line of jewelry inspired by The Little Mermaid.

Although the 30-piece, $34-$160 collection includes a childish gold-plated sandcastle and treasure box pendant necklaces, pop-top rings with pearls inside, braided leather charm bracelets and jellyfish and octopus-shaped earrings, it's got some surprisingly chic offerings for those of us beyond Kindergarten.

The collection was produced by Lucas Design International, the same company that created Tom Binns' Alice in Wonderland line, and includes a few redeeming pieces that are less literal interpretations of the beachy childhood tale: think sleek hoop earrings with fish hooks on the end, a shark jaw ring and a necklace with cascading mother of pearl discs in a rainbow of colors, mimicking the scales of a very elegant fish (pictured above).

Now, whether you'll be able to wear them without getting 'Under The Sea' stuck in your head is another matter.

As with any collection, regardless of where comes the inspiration of the creator, we need to identify. I love the necklace. It's beautiful and very creative. Perfect to shine a neck that is using the V-neckline of a neutral look.

My sister was considering laser resurfacing to get rid of her wrinkles and instead of going through that pain and expense, I urged her to reconsider and try Dermitage ( http://Dermitage.notlong.com ) with me. I had heard great things about Dermitage and how it was much better than botox. I ordered two jars of Dermitage and sent one to her about 3 months ago. Recently we were together for her birthday and we both were impressed with the smooth look and softer texture of our skin. It was no accident if you go to that web site and read about the ingredients in Dermitage you'll see why it is in a class by itself when it comes to reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

I love it but believe it or not I have a beauiful one w/earrings I got in the 1980's in NYC so it's not an original thought but I love it. Heck I'm a redhead love to model this thing. fab whether retro or new. (careful if you have long loose curly hair, it can catch wear with a pony tail or hair updo somehow - shows the necklace off better too if hair is up or slicked back.

I've seen stuff like that for $15 at cheapo accessory stores and at street vendor tables.
Anyone who spends $145 on a necklace like that is a total sucker!

I agree with previous post. The cheap $2 stuff I buy is much prettier than this in my opinion. They have some really pretty flower theme stuff that is great for spring. Check it out at http:www.windfall-costume-jewelry.com

Wow, that's one impressively ugly necklace. Was there a contest?

i actually think this is a cute necklace, but i would think would get this for a very low price. like the usual price for jewelry at a department store
