Circle of Truss: the story behind Liz’s favourite necklace
telegraph.co.ukPrime Minister Liz Truss’s schedule hardly allows for careful deliberation over her choice of accessories, so it’s no wonder that she’s continued to reach for the “Circle of Truss” – her faithful gold circle necklace, a piece of jewellery that’s been her constant companion all the way along her rocky road to the top.Simple yet distinctive, the necklace features a gold hoop fastened to a fine gold chain.
On close inspection, the circle and its two connectors look as though they’re made of beaded or textured gold. One Telegraph columnist, who has studied the many, many photographs of Truss wearing the necklace, says she too has one almost identical, “from John Lewis”.
