We all know that "Golden Girls" was a bad TV program--so bad that it is brilliant. The sitcom has also inspired a collection of brilliantly trashy necklaces. Another brilliant Etsy find from Trashed Clothing.
Clearly not a fan of copyright law, the user also offers a range of "Star Wars" jewelry. These look good, but for me the pieces that really work are the "Golden Girls" necklaces--their strength being that they are crap and so random.
