The border crisis has been an albatross around Kamala Harris’ neck — and now her jewelry is too.
The Democratic presidential nominee was snapped Friday at the southern border in Arizona, trying to look tough on one of her major political weaknesses as she walked near a razor-wire protected fence in the town of Douglas, chatting with an agent from US Border Patrol.
Harris, 59, was wearing dark sunglasses, a brown jacket over a black top and dark colored pants, and sporting what critics claimed was a $62,000 necklace from Tiffany’s.
“Dems decided to send Kamala Harris out in a $62,000 Tiffany necklace to reassure the middle class that she and the corpse we just saw wheeze through a debate have their best interests at heart!” one detractor wrote on X.
“Maybe leave the $60,000.00 Tiffany’s necklace at home when visiting the border,” another commenter quipped on the platform. “Respectfully, you look ridiculous & thoroughly removed from what’s right in front of your face. The photo op wasn’t a total loss, though. They got a great shot of that necklace!”
“She’s ’middle class’ but sure does enjoy showing off her $62,000 Tiffany gold necklace!” another X user wrote.
The gold, chain-link piece looks similar to Tiffany & Co.’s Bold Graduated Link Necklace in yellow gold that retails for the whopping price tag. It’s unclear if Harris’ necklace is the Tiffany item, and neither Tiffany’s nor the Harris campaign responded to messages seeking comment.
Harris went to the town of about 17,000 people and spoke about plans to fix “our broken immigration system” in a bid to make up ground on one of her most vulnerable political fronts as she’s locked in a neck-and-neck battle for the White House with Republican nominee Donald Trump.
It was her first visit to the beleaguered souther border since a 2021 visit to El Paso, Texas, four months after President Biden named her border czar.
She called out her rival, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for “fanning the flames of fear and division” over immigration, while Trump slammed Harris as “totally incompetent” after news broke of federal data released the same day showing more than 15,000 illegal immigrants currently living in the US are convicted or accused of homicide.
It’s not the first time Harris’ choice of jewelry has come under scrutiny.
After her Sept. 10 debate against Trump, conspiracy-minded social media users claimed her gold and pearl earrings contained a clandestine Bluetooth device. The items appeared to be a gold version of Tiffany’s Double Pearl Hinged Earrings.
