With her statement jewellery and glamorous couture, Larissa Weems – from Netflix drama Wednesday – is not the obvious candidate for a hand-me-down.
But eagle-eyed viewers have spotted that a lavish silver-leafed necklace the character wears has been appearing on our screens since before the actor who plays her – Gwendoline Christie, 44 – was born.
The chain is currently enjoying its seventh incarnation, on the neck of the icy headteacher in the Addams Family spin-off.
Its first leading lady was screen beauty Jacqueline Bisset, who played the elegant Helena Andrenyi in 1974’s big-screen 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
Then it had its next outing in 1979, worn by Sarah Jane Curran in the BBC period drama Prince Regent, about the lives and loves of the future King George IV.
According to the website Recycled Movie Costumes, the necklace then appeared to fall out of favour with costume designers until it was resurrected in the 1997 film The Serpent’s Kiss, starring Greta Scacchi.
