With her flashy jewelry and glamorous couture, Larissa Weems of the Netflix drama Wednesday is not the obvious candidate for an inheritance.
But eagle-eyed viewers have noticed that a luxurious silver leaf necklace worn by the character has been appearing on our screens since before the actor who plays her, 44-year-old Gwendoline Christie, was born.
The network is currently enjoying its seventh incarnation, on the neck of the icy director in the Addams Family spin-off.
His first lead was screen beauty Jacqueline Bisset, who played the elegant Helena Andrenyi in the 1974 film adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder On The Orient Express.

In 2005, the beautiful necklace was worn by Holly Radford in the BBC drama documentary Beethoven.
He then had his next outing in 1979, starring as Sarah Jane Curran in the BBC period drama Prince Regent, about the life and loves of the future King George IV.
According to the Recycled Movie Costumes website, the necklace seemed to fall out of favor with costume designers until it was resurrected in the 1997 film The Serpent’s Kiss, starring Greta Scacchi.
He enjoyed something of a comeback after the turn of the millennium, appearing on both the small and big screens.
In 2005 it was used by Holly Radford in the BBC drama documentary Beethoven, and two years later by Giovanna Mezzogiorno in the film adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez’s Love in the Time of Cholera.

She said, “It’s the first time I’ve felt beautiful on screen… The way she [Atwood] it made me feel like my body felt celebrated and beautiful.
“I never felt like there was anything to hide or anything to be ashamed of. She made me feel amazing.
It is not the first time that Netflix reuses accessories. It was revealed last month that a dress worn by Emma Corrin in the streaming service’s film adaptation of DH Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover had also appeared in a number of other productions.
