Hazel’s four-letter-word-adorned necklace raises cursing to a new level

Dropping the F-bomb has never been easier. Like Britney Spears, everyone’s favourite Anglo-Saxon epithet has lost its ability to shock. So much so that a necklace emblazoned with a flying “fuck” is now sold alongside exquisitely refined J. Mendel and Giambattista Valli frocks at the just-opened high-fashion destination Hazel. If Toronto’s ladies who lunch suddenly start cussing up a storm in bauble form, blame cheeky Irish jewellery designer Tom Binns. At $250—for either the silver- or gold- plated version—it’s one of the most wallet-friendly items in the shop. 116 Yorkville Ave., 416-513-0333.
