It caught on, as she was a trendsetter, and it was a status symbol, as it took a lot of pearls/diamonds/whatever to create the piece, so only the wealthy could have them. It looked good on most women, but I agree that Consuelo Vanderbilt wore it most successfully because of the extraordinary length of her neck.
