CAS says:Wonderful indeed … (sigh) ….
I’d wear it with the “strapless, backless, body-hugging black dress” if #1. I had such a dress, #2. If I had the body to wear such a dress, #3. It was pitch dark out and everyone else was wearing blindfolds … really, really let-no-light-in blindfolds.

KittyMom Linda says:One can always dream about being able to wear that dress but you can always wear the necklace in real life. Somehow I think you could wear the dress too. I love this – no matter what you wear it with.
