Ruth St. Denis, the American Ballet dancer, is pictured here c.1910 wearing a bejewelled headdress and a book chain necklace. 

It's November 1958 and China Machado pairs a dress and jacket by Ben Zuckerman with a cocktail ring and earrings. She's photographed by Richard Avendon.

This striking shirt and trousers co-ord needs only minimal and classic accessories. Carolyn Murphy's simple pearl earrings do the trick. She's photographed by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia in January 1996.
