Coveralls, Marlene trousers, and diaphanous gowns codified her look, but it was her eclectic jewelry collection that made the statement. At the tender age of 16, Bacall was discovered by fashion icon, Diana Vreeland, which then kickstarted her storied film career. Lauren Bacall was an avid jewelry collector, coveting designers like Van Cleef & Arpels, Swarovski, David Webb and Grima.
