One Kings Lane is launching its third Tastemaker Tag Sale with Apfel, which will feature a curated selection of globally inspired costume jewelry from her archive priced from $75 to $645. To celebrate the launch, the company released a video of Apfel talking about everything from her approach to accessorizing to the best tidbit of dating advice.

"Jewelry, I think, is the most transformative of all accessories. … That's why I wore all black today—to show you how you can transform."
"There's one piece I especially feel terrible about losing. Well, somebody else will enjoy it. That's the way you have to think about it."
"If you're going out on a date, leave your cell phone home for God's sake. I mean, pressing buttons is pretty silly. Stay home."
"I'd come in clanking when I was in my 'silver period.' I had lots of silver bracelets and chains. And I sounded like a cow coming home from the pasture."
