Everyone is talking about Ellen Pompeo's Fred Leighton rope necklace that she wore last night at the Emmy Awards. The gold rope necklace with tassles seems to be either loved or hated as red carpet fashionista's lend their opinions as to best and worst of celebrity style. While I usually prefer diamond and gemstone jewelry, I think this necklace fit in with her style perfectly.

Ellen Pompeo's style at the Emmys was glamorous, old-world like; just like Fred Leighton's jewelry. Known for his 19th century antique and Art Deco pieces, Fred Leighton's necklace seems to have been inspired from curtain tie backs from years past--yet there is nothing domestic and ordinary about it.

Fred Leighton Jewelry has adorned many celebrities necklines and fingers such as Debra Messing, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez, for red carpet events . Fashion Industry leaders such as Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta have also come to recognize Fred Leighton's collection and design as timeless and classic. As for Ellen Pompeo, Fred Leighton's necklace was able to bring old Hollywood into the 21st century without looking too modern.
